Design of prototype expert system for transliterating Arabic-to-Roman words

Transliteration of Arabic words into their equivalent Roman words is vital for the proper pronunciation of the origin words. Traditionally, it has been done manually through the use of language interpreter/linguists. Presenting written Arabic words and vowelising each letter can be a difficult task,...
