Actually, Arabic keyboards are no more expensive at
all. Perhaps in a country where there is a low demand
and they need to be imported specially. However, I
easily picked up a cheap made-in-China Arabic/French
keyboard in Morocco for as little as the cheap
made-in-
China English keyboards in Australia: about $10 USD
Calling a standard keyboard "QWERTY" isn't really
helpful since it's only the keycaps which change, the
most minor element of the hardware. There is no other
part of the keyboard which "knows" its layout.
"Standard n-key keyboard" is a bit more helpful except
that some people might want to get fussy about values
of n.
