I got this shirt and every time i wear it to school, the #1 question I get is, "What does that say"? and i can never answer this and even teachers are asking me and i want to finally give the right answers. Its the arabic (I think) near the bottom. Anybody? Thanks.

About 10 years ago I could have gotten the answer. Yea its arabic down there. I worked with a few arabic guys who were really cool. They taught me the "cool" things in arabic but I certainly cant read it. I would guess it is a name.

That would be my guess as well, it says the exact same thing in both languages. My Hebrew stuff is that way.

I don't know if this is of any help but the string of words (diamond diamonds buy sell trade) in Arabic looks like this:
????? ????? ???? ???? ???????
Since their writing is right to left (or am I mistaking? EDIT: no, you can clearly see that the last two are the same- ie diamond vs diamonds) the string would actually be (trade sell buy diamonds diamond). Anyway, none of these looks like the above to me.

Why on earth would you wear something without having any idea what it says? It might say f the USA for all you know!

It says "diamund" in arabic. It is spelled phonetically to pronounce the english word "diamond". no crazy terrorist quotes or anything like that... so lets not be ignorant (in reference to one reply about the shirt), after all people are people, no matter what language. but yea you should know what you are wearing.

it says transliteration of diamond in arabic, meaning it doesnt say what diamond in arabic is but it says what it would be if diamond would be a word in arabic

LOL...I must agree, why wear anything you don't undestand what it says. To help you in the future. Anyhing written in English and another language USUALLY means the same thing, they translate each other.
