I really hate to muss up the pristine Real World board with a post, but I think a year and a half of emptiness is enough.
Does anyone here speak Arabic or know of someone who does?

Really, I just need to know if a handful of names make sense or contain any glaring errors. ...Aaand the ad displayed at the top of the page is for an Arab dating site.

Oh, I speak bits and pieces of the language since I lived in a Muslim neighbourhood a few years ago. But some of my classmates speak the language really well and I could ask them to help if you wish.

Missed this earlier; thanks for the offer but I believe I have everything I need now. Just required feedback on whether a few names made sense. As I am somewhat obsessive over Elvish names, I thought it might be a tad hypocritical to go ahead and write a story with bad Arabic names. Anyhow, SurgSteel sent me the email of someone she knows, so I'm fine for now.

I hope to see the end product then I wasn't obsessive over Elvish names before I read your Linguistics columns. It's contagious, your language desecration-phobia.

I know you have your answer, but should you need anymore help Darth, or anyone else, I speak, read, and write Arabic.

Wow, you speak Arabic? I feel so monolingual on this board. Collectively this is an awesome bunch. *nervously eyes number of posts and vows to shut up now* I know you have your answer, but should you need anymore help Darth, or anyone else, I speak, read, and write Arabic.

Yes, I'm like half Arab. I had the command of 3 languages at one time, but sadly Spanish has slipped. I can still communicate basic/simple things, though. It came in handy during my work at the hospital, though. Wow, you speak Arabic? I feel so monolingual on this board.
