Such a scenario is not unlikely if we're talking material that crossed the area between east and west a few times.
That reminds me something.
What if, we write Arabic texts using transliterations, one-to-one mapping, will a native speaker be able to read it?
For example, I copied this from Wikipedia:
"لغة القرآن" بما أن القرآن نزل باللغة العربية، فقد أُطلق اسم اللغة عليه
And transliterate it one-by-one, and write left-to-right:
"lGƕ alqrãn" bma än alqrãn nzl ballGƕ alʕrbyƕ, fqd äᵘTlq asm allGƕ ʕlyh
(The mapping system is quite arbitrary, because I do not understand Arabic. But I think people who understand it would be able to see the basic rules behind the mapping system)
Will a native speaker, or an Arabic learner, be able to read it if they know the mapping / transliteration system?
