Converting Arabic text to Cyrillic. The Arabic text is written in the Arabic script. The Cyrillic text is a transliteration system I made without much design and is non-standard. This transliteration system is based on how Russian is written in Cyrillic, and a Turkic language that has interdental fricatives.
