{{Main|Romanization of Arabic}}
The [[Arabic alphabet]] is used to write [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Urdu]], [[Pashto language|Pashto]] and [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]] as well as numerous other languages in the Muslim world, particularly [[Languages of Africa|African]] and [[Languages of Asia|Asian]] languages without alphabets of their own. Romanization standards include the following:
* {{Lang|de|[[Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft]]|italic=no}} (1936): Adopted by the International Convention of Orientalist Scholars in Rome. It is the basis for the very influential [[Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic|Hans Wehr dictionary]] ({{ISBN|0-87950-003-4}}).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dmg-web.de/ |title=Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft |publisher=Dmg-web.de |access-date=2015-07-02}}</ref>
