Yes. In fact a number of Middle Easterners communicate on the Web that way, in forums, transliterating to Latin characters (this is something I've personally seen). I can't remember what they called it... Arabish?


It is not something new. There are a number of countries in which the language was historically written in both Arabic and Latin and sometimes also Cyrillic.
