 </span></blockquote>like that, although up to now I&#39;ve never seen the Arabic letter jiim<br/>
transliterated as anything other than j, dj or g, depending on the<br/>
country. The UNGEGN (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.eki.ee/wgrs/)">http://www.eki.ee/wgrs/)</a> doesn&#39;t mention such a<br/>
scheme. Still, it makes complete phonetic sense and gives us DZ more<br/>
naturally than my &quot;Al Djaza&#39;ir&quot;.<br/>
Where did you find that spelling?<br/>
