Did you know?
- In Arabic calligraphy, the elongated letters in نِيُويُورْك are often stretched using a technique called 'kashida' to fit the name perfectly into a decorative line or headline.
- Because Arabic lacks a native 'o' sound, the 'o' in نِيُو is often represented by a 'waw' و, which can make it sound slightly more like 'New-w York' to an English ear.
- When discussing the 'New York Times' in Arabic, the name is often rendered as نيويورك تايمز, treating the entire English title as a single proper noun rather than translating 'Times' into the Arabic word for 'time'.
