Dashes above vowels as diactritic marks are not correctly shown, they are poorly replaced by accent acute. Points under consonants are not placed at all.
The articles like "Ad", "Al", "Ar" and "Az" have no influence on the alphabetical order of the names; they have been ignored, but "see"-references are made.
There are no reliable figures before 1950. In all sources used there are only rough estimates that differ too much from each other.
The estimated figures of the year 1993 - source CG - could well be for agglomerations, or in some cases oasis included. In this column the figure for Riyâdh is the estimated population in 1997.
