Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
This linguistic map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Arabic alphabet world distribution.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
?
The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: Tibet/Xinjiang is shown as a separate country, whereas it is not (according to most definition of what a country is)
Description This map, made by MaGioZal, shows the countries that use the Arabic alphabet. In dark green, the countries that use the Arabic as the sole official script; and in light green, the countries that assume the Arabic alphabet as a co-official script.

That could easily be wrong, but please provide sources if it is. Arabic is not official in Hong Kong or Taiwan. In China, it's regionally official in Xinjiang, but only Chinese is official at the national level. (Not sure about regio...
