Thanks, @gounaman. I always enjoy talking shop about impacts of colonialism on naming things in the Middle East and North Africa, but if anything I'd like to narrow down this conversation on terminology and misnomers to a focused suggestion that could be cross-checked with (preferably) book sources and other experts and be applied to the document if needed. So far I've failed at that. I invite all on the thread to review [the terminology section](https://www.w3.org/TR/alreq/#h_preferred_terminology) of the document and keep the comments focused on what's reflected there and what are the editors recommendations and whether those recommendations are problematic. To summarize the document (and not the screenshots or sources mentioned in this issue) is using three distinct terms: - ASCII Numerals - Arabic-Indic Numerals - Eastern Arabic-Indic Numerals Personally I reckon that when talking in terms of Bilad El Arab or Umma, "Western" is anything to the west of Constantinople or Cairo and eastern anything east of those ancient cities. -- GitHub Notification of comment by shervinafshar Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/131#issuecomment-867207151 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
