GB/T 17693.61999
Standardization of the Chinese translation of Arabic place names is an important part of place name standardization. This standard is formulated to achieve the unification and standardization of the Chinese translation of place names and promote the exchange of science and culture at home and abroad. This standard is revised on the basis of the "Rules for the Chinese Translation of Arabic Place Names" formulated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the State Administration of Surveying and Mapping. The series of national standards for the "Guidelines for the Chinese Translation of Foreign Place Names" include the following parts: Part 1: English;
Part 2: French;
Part 3: German;
Part 4: Russian;
Part 5: Spanish;
Part 6: Arabic;
This standard is Part 6: Arabic.
Appendix A, Appendix B and Appendix C of this standard are all appendices to the standard. From the date of implementation of this standard, the original "Rules for the Chinese Translation of Arabic Place Names" will be automatically abolished. This standard is proposed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China. This standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee for the Standardization of Geographical Names. This standard was drafted by the Institute of Geographical Names of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Institute of Geographical Names of the State Administration of Surveying and Mapping, China Cartographic Publishing House, Xinhua News Agency Reference News Editorial Department, and the General Staff Mapping Bureau participated in the drafting. The main drafters of this standard are Xing Weilin, Li Chun, Wang Ke, Li Chongling, Bai Wenxiang, Fan Guiying, and Chen Youming.

For specific transliteration schemes, see Appendix C. 5.4 The Chinese characters at the intersection of the vertical row of consonants and the horizontal row of vowels in Table 1 are the transliterated Chinese characters of the pronunciation of the consonants and vowels. When the vowels form a syllable by themselves, they are transliterated with the Chinese characters in the vowel zero row in Table 1; and when the consonants other than ~ are pronounced alone, they are transliterated with the Chinese characters in the consonant zero row in the transliteration table. 5.5 If the Chinese character translation produces a phenomenon of literal meaning, the homophonic rising character of the syllable should be used for translation. For example, when "东", "南" and "西" appear at the beginning of a place name, they are transliterated with "栋", "楠" and " "; when "海" appears at the end of a place name, it is transliterated with "亥". 5.6 The Chinese characters "雅", "玛", "娜", "莉", "丽", "莎", "蒂" and "妮" in Table 1 are used for place names named after female names. 5.7 In Table 1, "弗\" is used for the initial part of the translated name; "夫" is used for the middle and final part of the translated name. 429 Each is GB/T 17693.6--1999.
