Re: VMs: Arabic text



It is not exactly the "arabic" text - it is more phonetical transcription.

Better is here, you see the arabic text

http://www.geckil.com/~harvest/quran/tajweed/

It looks like following:
"bsM.a,llh.a,lr,HmN.a,lr,HiM"
instead of  "Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi "
(I make difference between differenzt forms using low and high cases)

A transliteration of the Koran can be found at :-

The text looks like this -

1. Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi
2. Alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
3. Alrrahmani alrraheemi
4. Maliki yawmi alddeeni
5. Iyyaka naAAbudu wa-iyyaka nastaAAeenu
6. Ihdina alssirata almustaqeema
7. Sirata allatheena anAAamta AAalayhim ghayri almaghdoobi AAalayhim wala
  alddalleena

You'd need to do some cutting and pasting, because the book is split into short verses, but this should serve your purposes. Good luck!.

By the way - in case you didn't know this - if you are thinking of running tests on such a text with the vowels removed be careful! I think that some of the glottals (technically consonants) are represented with vowels in this system.

Good luck,
Rob

Can anyone suggest a source of Arabic text on the 'net for use in
entropy calculations?

Ideally, I would like to find fully-vowelled text in some
character-based encoding (i.e. not GIFs).
