They probably transliterated it by the sound of the letters  =)

The "Z" and "M" thing completely bothers me as a (learned) Arabic Speaker just as the fact that ص (a sound most European languages don't know) is X. (even though I can kinda get behind that). The G/Q thing makes sense from a dialectal point of view, as ق can often be pronounced G, but Q would be more correct. So probs to the Lexus owner for getting it right  :D

Indeed, how can ص be X and م be Z? They sound way different. It kinda irritates me. Lexus guy did the right thing  :cool:

I was going to ask what's a $10K Lexus from Saudia is doing there but then i noticed this photo was taken around when i was a 2nd grade student.

It still bothers me to this day. I guess they were trying to avoid confusion when they revised the format in 2007 but then again, they use two different "Alif" in Arabic so
