Typing English words using an Arabic keyboard layout can produce some interesting results. Since it's an abjad and not an alphabet, the words are at least pronounceable. For example, for "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union", I get "sath qaath hathkhahmath khab qaath 'aa hafthi safshafthasu haa khaqithaq fakh bakhfeh sh-takhqath hathqabthuf 'aa hakhaa". A Russian layout, on the other hand, isn't quite as pretty.
