Cyrillization of Arabic
This is one of my attempts to Cyrillicize Arabic. I'm debating whether to include vowel distinctions (as I did here), and what to do about the emphatics. I like the way some words look, but some, like "дьыміьрын", look ugly to me. Long Vowels: alif - ә/а yaa - іь/иь waaw - үь/ұь baa' - б taa' - т thaa' - ҫ jiim - ж Haa' - ҳ khaa' - х daal - д dhaal - ҙ raa - р zaay - з siin - с shiin - ш Saad - сь Daad - дь Taa - ть DHaa' - ҙь 3ayn - Ӏ ghayn - ғ faa' - ф qaaf - қ kaaf - к laam - л miim - м nuun - н haa' - һ waaw - у yaa' - ј fatHa - е/ы kasra - і/и Damma - ү/ұ hamza - ъ Transliteration of Omniglot Text: Yūladu jamī'u n-nāsi aḥrāran mutasāwīna fī l-karāmati wa-l-ḥuqūq. Wa-qad wuhibū 'aqlan wa-ḍamīran wa-'alayhim an yu'āmila ba'ḍuhum ba'ḍan bi-rūḥi l-ikhā'. јүьледү жеміьӀұ еннәсі еҳрарын мүтесәуіьне фіь елкераметі уе елҳұқұьқ. уе қыд уүһібү Ӏықлен уе дьыміьрын уе Ӏылејһім ен јүӀаміле баӀдүһүм баӀден бірұьһі елъіхаъ.

Not being as familiar with Cyrillic, I can't really comment on the accuracy or exactness of your scheme, but I will say this...it's ugly, I mean butt ugly. I've never been a fan of Cyrillic and I can't think of ever really trying to learn it unless I needed to, but I commend you for giving it a try. Kurdish is the closet thing I could think of that uses both Cyrillic and the Arabic script, and by the looks of things you are almost perfect in your uses.

Interesting about Kurdish, I didn't actually know that it ever used the Cyrillic alphabet. The inspiration came mostly from Turkic languages using Cyrillic (Kazakh, Uzbek), and Chechen. Some of the problems with my system is that I use the soft sign ь both as a way of marking the long vowels yaa and waaw, and as a way of marking the emphatics. Aesthetically, yes, it doesn't look great. I have yet to find a way to write Arabic in Cyrillic that accurately represents the sounds of the language and isn't ugly at the same time. The 3ayn, as usual, is problematic. Out of curiosity, what do you think of the look of the Kazakh language written in Cyrillic? I borrowed many of the letters from Kazakh in order to create this.

Is your aversion to Cyrillic simply an aesthetic thing, or does it have to do with the languages that use it? Purely aesthetic...I've kinda always thought of it as a nasty mixture of the Latin and Greek scripts, which barely cut the mustard for me aesthetically on their own, let alone when mixed.
