I don't have any problems with this, but would like to hear what @Amire80 and @MF-Warburg have to say just in case.

az-cyrl is OK.

For Arabic script we already have azb. Is az-arab any different?

@Nikki Can you answer this?

I have no idea because I can't find any resources which go into any detail about the differences, let alone that specify whether a word is North Azerbaijani, South Azerbaijani or both. Even all the Wiktionaries I checked do not distinguish North and South Azerbaijani and only list the script when giving the different forms (e.g. en, de).

Also, according to the English Wikipedia's Azerbaijani language page, the Arabic script was the only script used before 1929, so I would expect the Arabic script versions to be valid historical forms even in areas where the Arabic script is no longer used.

In the interest of not having this stalled indefinitely, I've removed the request for az-arab from this ticket.
