I got a spam in a language I don't recognize (other than suspecting it's from the India to SE Asia region.

Subject below the cut.

If anybody recognizes this, let me know, ok?

Looks like Arabic, but there are other languages that also look like Arabic.

Yeah, the script is Arabic, but I have no idea of the language. There are multiple languages using that script, but I can read none of them.

http://translation.babylon.com/Arabic/to-English/ only got one word: Crop. Same from translate.google.com. Since a lot of spam has intentional misspellings to thwart filters, I'm not terribly surprised that translation-bots don't work, but it was worth a try :-).

The three most likely languages for it to be, given that it's written in the Arabic script, are Arabic, Farsi (Persian), or Urdu (Pakistani). Letters with three dots below are rare in the Arabic script, and do not appear in Arabic itself (although letters with three dots ABOVE do). There are, however, such letters in both Farsi and Urdu. A closer inspection of WHICH letter it is, and comparison to the displayed scripts on Omniglot, leads to the conclusion that the language is most likely Farsi.
