Abstract
In this chapter, we present a brief description of MSA phonology and related concepts. This is followed by a description of how Arabic orthography, i.e., its spelling standard, is used to map phonology to/from the Arabic script. Then, we present four related computational tasks: proper name transliteration, spelling correction, speech recognition and speech synthesis.
