Hoi,
Having both aeb, aeb-arab and aeb-latn available is wrong. There should be
aeb that is implicitly in the default Arabic script. When you want to have
both Latin and Arabic as default you do not need the aeb.
Thanks,

Dear all,
I thank you for your answers. I am sure that using Wikidata to support
Arabic dialects including Tunisian is simpler. Effectively, all what should
be done is to translate Mediawiki system messages and add labels,
descriptions and aliases to all Wikidata items and properties. However, we
are facing several problems. Now, according to
https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Pasleim/Language_statistics_for_items,
we have added 3,711 labels, 3,324 descriptions and 217,740 aliases in
Arabic Script. Although we were behind the labels and descriptions, we do
not find how the aliases were added. I ask if I can see and track these
aliases so that I can verify if they are accurate. We found as well that
196,119 labels, 3 descriptions and 23,581 aliases were added in Latin
Script (AEB-LATN). After verification, we found that Mr. Marcus Cyron is
who added the important output for Latin Script. In fact, he automatically
considers the English name of a European or American person as the label of
this person in AEB-LATN. If we consider Arabizi as the Latin Script of
Tunisian, the rule should be "The French name of a person is considered de
facto as the label of this person in AEB-LATN except when the person was
born or lives in an OIC country (
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Organisation_of_Islami…quot;.
Mr. Marcus Cyron is kindly required to adjust this rule and he is thanked
in advance to apply it on all Wikidata entities. He can also apply the rule
to non-OIC towns. Concerning AEB, I ask if a module can be added to
Wikidata so that it automatically considers all labels, descriptions and
aliases of AEB-ARAB as the ones of AEB.
Yours Sincerely,
