How can you be pro-lingusitic diversity AND call them vanity TLDs:

The four strings delegated are:

شبكة (xn--ngbc5azd) – Arabic for "web/network"
Registry: International Domain Registry Pty. Ltd.
онлайн (xn--80asehdb) – Cyrillic for "online"
Registry: CORE Association
сайт (xn--80aswg) – Cyrillic for "site"
Registry: CORE Association
游戏(xn--unup4y) – Chinese for "game(s)"
Registry: Spring Fields, LLC
