Description

Moroccan Arabic (ary) could be written in Latin or Arabic alphabet.

Currently, the code is used as is, showing a real split use of the two alphabets:

MediaWiki messages translation	latin
Commons media files description	arabic
Incubator Wikipedia project	both
ULS	latin

https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/latest/supplemental/scripts_and_languages.html notes the script as arabic.

This tracking bug will track issues we have to take to offer ary speakers the possibility to use the two alphabets.

In the meantime, there is Moroccan Arabic Wikipedia which doesn't seem to be in Latin script.

If ary-latn is needed, maybe new request(s) with relevant samples should be made.

A little unsure:

Only saw the Latin script mentioned on translatewiki.net Portal:ary

Only saw Arabic on MediaWiki messages translation

Saw Arabic on ULS

Only saw Arabic on Wikipedia-en

Only saw Arabic on CLDR charts

Is it used in Wikidata (e.g., Lexemes)?
