    Hello,

    Many thanks to all who responded to my query on where to find Arabic name
    lists. Several people have expressed interest in seeing the results.
    Below is a summary:

    From one of our annotators here at BBN:

    The UN Food and Agriculture Organization website includes a list of all
    countries that are members of the FAO or have been mentioned in FAO
    reports.

    http://www.fao.org/faoterm/nocs/html/Default-e.htm . It also provides
    capital cities, languages, and Nationalities for each country.

    Also for Arabic first names first names (men):

    The Perl one-liner for extracting proper names:
       perl -ne 'print if /\tN.+?\t[A-Z]/' < dictStems

    Thanks again!
