Arabeasy is a fully reversible transliteration system mapped 1:1 Arabic:Latin alphabet, for a deeper understanding of written Arabic – academic article here *
- designed for simple and rapid input on keyboards/smartphones etc.
- map directly to Arabic, avoid confusion from multiple word spellings, e.g. kebir/kebeer/kabeer? (Arabeasy:kbir directly from Arabic)
- eases transition to reading/spelling of Arabic script in the future
- fewer letters means faster typing and reading e.g. ARABEASY mbtħbj vs mabit7ebish (6 letters vs 11 letters)
- one letter per symbol, only normal letters from standard keyboards, reversible
- unwritten vowels accented: â î û
** Can also be used for Farsi (Persian) and Urdu
viewing and typing (IME) possible in one add-on, install the
Transliterator Add-on HERE
follow these steps:
Open the OPTIONS dialog of the Transliterator Add-on, and select Arabic.
To use, go to a any text input box on a web page, and press ALT-X (or whatever is set as the “toggle keyboard mode” shortcut in the Transliterator Add On OPTIONS), this should toggle between Arabeasy input and normal input. You should now be able to type Arabic using the ARABEASY keyboard mapping.
You can also transliterate Arabic text on any page withe the Transliterate shortcut key defined in the Add-on options, I like to use ATL-Z for this, so then you just select any text or the whole page with CTRL-A, and then convert to ARABEASY with ALT-Z.
my settings:
ALT-Z ARABIC–>ARABEASY
ALT-X toggle type ARABEASY ( IME) ON/OFF
ALT-A ARABEASY–>ARABIC (detransliterate)You can keep the Text input locked on by setting “Toggle keyboard window mode” in the settings, that way all input boxes on the page are affected.
You may need to restart Firefox for changes to shortcut keys to come into effect.
Have Fun!

Reading Arabic webpages in ABC (a.k.a. Franco-Arab, Frankuarab, Arabizi, Arabic chat) can ease memorization of new words, reading speed, and help understand the Arabic writing system.
This transliteration system is a close 1:1 mapping onto Arabic as it is written, teaching how to spell Arabic correctly and understand language syntax. It results in less confusion as to whether letters are written double or single etc.
c sounds like s, eg century
i = yi (eg. ibod=yibod) at word start and often has a missing vowel in front (eg. bit=bait), u is u and “w”, y is “a” and “i”,

Arabeasy.net lets you change any Arabic page to Western alphabet (a.k.a. Franco-Arab, Frankuarab, Arabizi, Arabic chat) instantly.
Arabeasy aims to teach Arabic using the English alphabet (transliteration or romanization). This makes it much easier to remember words and spelling visually, even if one is learning or already knows Arabic letters.
This transliteration system is a close 1:1 mapping onto Arabic as it is written, teaching how to spell Arabic correctly and understand language syntax. It results in less confusion as to whether letters are written double or single etc. A simple example, the word for slang, colloquial or Egyptian dialect in Arabic is “oamiah”, but if written phonetically it could be ammeyya, ammeya, ameyya, amiya, ammiyya, ammiya, amiyya..
keywords: romanise, romanisation, phonetic, script, ameya, ammeyya, ammeya, ameyya, amiya, ammiyya, ammiya, amiyya, English, Egypt, Arab World, Aralish, Arabish, Franco-Arab, chat, Arabizi, phonetic, amia, Franku-Arab
Good effort.
