Hindi but with a Pakistani bias? IIRC, Persian also uses the Arabic script.
(But I'm no scholar, and don't have any experience there.) Strange to me that those seem to be written right-to-left (as does Yiddish, why write a Germanic language backwards?? I guess old habits die hard).

FYI, Latin-3 (aka, ISO 8859-3) supports Turkish (and E-o, my fav). Oh, it also supports Maltese (only Semitic language written with Roman alphabet, apparently). FreeDOS has its own incompatible variant in cp853/EGA.CPX (also supported by DR-DOS 7.03, undocumented, with one minor glyph error), but you might prefer (third-party) cp913 as more quasi-official. Then again, I've read that Turkish prefers Latin-5 (ISO 8859-9) for whatever reason. But of course Unicode (UTF-8 or whatever) is more much popular these days.
