So I did a quick check online. The Arabic alphabet runs from A to Y after being transcripted to the Western alphabet. Z appears somewhere near the middle.

So then I found out KSM grew up in the Baluchistan region of Pakistan. A majority of this region are Pashtuns, so I'm assuming they follow the Pashto alphabet. I gotta admit, their letters are awful damn confusing to me..... but it looks like their consanants start with some kind of "ts" combination and their first vowel is a schwa ([?])

I don't know, anyone else think this is weird? It's supposed to be a transcript of his exact words, right?
Excellent catch, but someone already caught that on 911Blogger.com...
