Standard Arabic Technical Transliteration System
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STA : Standard Arabic Technical Transliteration System
SATTS is the Standard Arabic Technical Transliteration System, the Morse-code equivalent mapping of Arabic letters to the Latin alphabet. This system represents each Arabic letter with a unique symbol in the ASCII range (e.g., the letter Y is used for ظ and a semicolon is used for ز ) to provide a one-to-one mapping from Arabic to ASCII and back.
Major ambiguity problems are the inability to distinguish between terminal ha' and ta' marbutah, and between terminal ya' and alif maksurah.
