Originally Arabic, but since we British (and other Europeans) were in
control of its home territory for quite a while I think we "persuaded"
them to switch. *shrugs* Or maybe they chose to themselves, although it
seems unlikely... for whatever reason, mostly its written in the Latin
alphabet now, but it used to be written in Arabic and it still is by
some older people.
