+<b>Title of talk:</b> On Writing Arabic <br><br>
 <b>Abstract:</b><br>
-    The Arabic language, broadly defined, encompases a diverse collection of varieties that are tied together historically and linguistically, but with a high degree of variations in terms of phonology, morphology, lexicon, and naturally orthography. In this talk we present a condensed summary of the challenges of writing Arabic and the evolution of different orthographic solutions to address them. The accumulation and persistence of different conventions have led to many co-existing orthographies today creating a complex space of challenges for computational modeling. Among the examples we discuss are subtle differences in Standard Arabic spelling across Arab countries, using scripts other than Arabic for writing Arabic dialects, and, most recently, social media experimentation with reverting to ancient orthographic conventions to fight AI censorship algorithms.<br>
