Arabic is "ar", IIRC. For groups of languages like cjk or indic it might
make sense to split the packages further, or, if that's not feasible,
use e.g. texlive-cjk-lang (but make sure the abbreviation is not ISO-style
two-character).

Probably texlive-extra and texlive-fontutils then? In any case, there's
not much need to search for executables only packages.
