Source MW: "By permission. From Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary. Third Edition cop. 1997 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated."
There are some linguistic problems in choosing a better way of spelling Arabic place names.
Dashes above vowels as diactritic marks are not correctly shown, they are poorly replaced by accent circumflex. Points or commas under consonants are not placed at all.
The articles like "Al" do influence the alphabetical order of the names in some sources.
No cross references have been made for variants of place names dating from ancient times.
Included are cities with over 10,000 inhabitants in 1956 as mentioned in source LB; or cities with over 20,000 inhabitants in 1984 according to source PG.
Source indicated by "PE" means: "Populations of the Middle East"; therefore in some cases the province code given is not the one according to the recent division
