In that case you need to change how you spell your name in English then, it isn't acccurate.

More like 15-20%, atcherley -- the bulk of them in the earlier stages of ESL. More people speak Mandarin (and a lot more people read Chinese than English).

How many Chinese speak some English? I would suggest it runs to Millions. And there are 1.1 Billion Indians for whom English is one of the Official Languages. Virtually every European has some English. Nigeria is the largest country in Africa (By population) and it speaks English. As do Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana etc. There are at least 1.5 Billion speakers of English, rather more than the 1.02 Billion speakers of Mandarin. Of the about 200 countries in the world, one third speak English as an official language.

Just because you want it to be so don't make it so[^]. -- If you include people who speak "some" of a language, the figures are even worse. -- If you include people who read Chinese, they're off the charts (there are several spoken Chinese languages, other than Mandarin, but only two written Chinese languages, which are readable by all). -- The figures for English include the population of the USA, who have their own language, which is in some ways more different from English than Cantonese is from Mandarin.

Only an accountant could typo a fifth as a third. And let's not bother to mention that most of that fifth are countries so small that you can drive through them in a day (or could, if they had roads).

If you take this[^] as the canonical form, then the closest English transliteration is Muhammad or possibly Mohammad, depending on whether you take the Dammah as an u or an o. In either case, the transliteration you use doesn't represent the shadda in the name, so not giving the middle meem the correct length.

That is what I used: Mohammad but it took 2 lines space so I shifted to Arabic to save space at CodeProject.
