change in Arabic querty keyboard

Hey everyone, I've been using the same Arabic querty keyboard on my Mac for over 15 years. I bought a new MacBook Air (still running Sonoma) and the Arabic keyboard is now COMPLETELY different. Not only that, the old one made perfect sense and this new one is completely random. Does anyone know how I can find and download the old Arabic keyboard? The new one, that some "genius" decided to randomize, is completely useless.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.1

If you go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > all input sources and click on the + button at the bottom and then select Arabic, you should see 5 you can choose from. Add the qwerty option and use the minus button to remove whatever you have currently active.


If Apple's current qwerty option is not what you used to, please give details about exactly what is different and we can try to help fix the problem.
