how to add language support to android [closed]

i hope someone put me on the right direction with my problem

i want to work on supporting my language, specially the writing on android

we use Arabic characters with little modification ( like parsi, urdu etc)..

i was hoping android has fully supported Arabic , then i would make changes to work with my language. but even 2.2 dosn't support Arabic . it just show Arabic characters and it is not connected. that is "عربية " is displayed "ع ر ب ي ة".

some individuals have made Arabic support on CyanogenMod ROM's for some HTC phones, but they would not tell how they made it. I'v got the android source code, i want to know where to start, where to make changes , what is the library that handle fonts , shaping engine etc ..

ps : android.com and other android related google groups are blocked in my country.

Anymemo is an open-source Android application that has support for Arabic. You can easily check it out with git and take a look at how they solved it.
