.شبكة domain name - Generic

شبكة. is the internationalised domain name (IDN) extension supporting the Arabic language only. Written in English as .SHABAKA, it roughly translates as Internet and was the first generic domain extension written entirely in Arabic, the fifth most common language in the world. With the potential to connect nearly 400 million Arabic speakers in the Middle East and North Africa alone, this new IDN will allow users to access to email addresses and websites in their own language. Why should the Internet be limited to only Latin-based languages? With the introduction of the شبكة. domain extension, along with over 100 other new IDNs, the Internet is opening up to the entire world. The punycode for this domain is .xn--ngbc5azd.
