I'd be tempted by this T-shirt if it wasn't for the fact I think there's a mistake in it: shouldn't it be أهلي لا علموني عربي? (Disclaimer: I don't speak Arabic, but I know a little about the Semitic languages, and Google Translate seems to agree with me.) seilduksgata?

I could need a shirt saying 'my mother never taught me Persian' written in Persian with modified Arabic letters.

After all this time, it suddenly occurred to me that the mistake is probably intentional. Yes, I'm slow. I know that.

Aaargh—because I'm even slower!

Though I did get a comment (http://www.facebook.com/notes/michael-grant/i-dont-speak-arabic-but/300659219989) on Facebook's automatic importation of this post saying "Sounds right in Egyptian arabic."
