I have been gone for sometime, now that I am back, I am seeing a lot of new names.

Bump for the sake of fresh faces.

funny that this thread should be resurrected because I was just asking my wife whos ex was arabic from morocco if she'd ever heard of writing in english with the numbers like that and she said no.
what does that mean, or whats the purpose of that?

The numbers represent sounds that aren't made by the english alphabet. I can't always explain them but can read them as I know the rest of the word and what is trying to be said. For example the first syllable in fus7ha is fus and simple enough, however the 2nd syllable is a rougher sounding H that isn't used in engliush, I can't describe it so someone else will have to chime in. The word could be pronounced as fus hhhha if that makes sense.
The second word starts with a aaaa sound so that's what the 3 stands for. You could have the same word with out the 3 and it would be a soft A sound that we are used to in english but that would make this a completely different word.
I'm sure someone else can explain better but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm sure you can google the meaning of numbers when writing arabic in english and it will give you the list and sounds.
