message: It is my understanding that the actual transliteration of the town's name جِسْر الزَّرْقَاء is Jisr Al-Zarka, NOT az-Zarka.
I see that the original name of the town in the article (Jisr al-Zarka) was changed to az-Zarka back in 2006 and it remained unchallenged for over a decade. Now even if L is silent, it would be Jisr a-Zarka. Any experienced Arabic speakers care to weigh in on this?

replies: text: The answer to your question is indicated in the third paragraph of Arabic definite article: "when followed by a sun letter such as t, d, r, s, n and a few others, it is replaced by the sound of the initial consonant of the following noun, thus doubling it."  The letter "z" is not mentioned there (the article should give a complete list) but from other places like here you can see that "z" is included in the "few others". (Disclaimer: I'm not an Arabic speaker; I've just met this issue lots of times.) Zerotalk 02:43, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jisr az-Zarka? Transliteration from Arabic is Jisr Al-Zarka, isn't it? 

message: Isn't this  Guwarnet ez Zerka, mentioned in Schumacher, 1888, p.   181?? Note, that that is in district Haifa. From what SWP says about Jisr az-Zarqa, I think it is the same place, Any objections to putting the 1887 data from Schumacher into the article? Huldra (talk) 20:43, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
