Yep. These docs are focused on both Arabic and Persian language use of the Arabic script. (We'd like to also work Arabic script used for languages like Uighur and Urdu, if we can find collaborators.)

You might also want to add the Thaana script (ISO 15924 code "Thaa") and the Maldivian language to the matrix.
