Thanks for the list. I was trying to find it as well. Serious question: what would sway one to register and use one of the above extensions compared to what's already out there? Other than localized content, I can't imagine typing شبكة would be simple... Also, شبكة is also relevant in Farsi (Persian).

"Other than localized content...." I have a hard time comprehending your question. They've added a bunch of non-English TLDs which are clearly for use by non-English sites, but when you ask why someone would use them, you exclude the obvious use-case out of hand. Aside from communicating with computers and other humans, what would anyone use the internet for?

Hmm. On my (US) Mac, switch input method to Arabic, hit af;m and get شبكة . So no harder to type than "info" really if you already have your machine set up to switch between Arabic and Roman/Latin keyboard layouts.
