Talk:Judeo-Arabic dialects

message: This article needs to clearly tell: does or does not each Arab country have it's own dialect of Judeo-Arabic? Each Arab country has it's own dialect of "regular" Arabic.
:The Judeo-Arabic dialects predate the modern countries and did not stick to modern country boundaries.  I don't think the issue is relevant today, since there are few, if any, native speakers left. Jayjg  | (Talk) 17:26, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: dialects of judeo-arabic

message: I linked to Jews of West Africa.
Is it not appropriate, for an article on Judeo-Arabic languages,
to link with the sub-culture (Jews of West Africa) that would be speaking these languages.
Is not this deletion an exercise of POV, and a violation of NPOV.
In sum, please give a rationale for the deletion.  Dogru144 18:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: First of all, check the Ethnologue and you will see there are indeed regional variations of Judeo-Arabic. Secondly, Judeo-Arabic is a much older phenomenon. What is described here is only the modern stage of Judeo-Arabic, yet Judeo-Arabic was employed by the Jewish population of Egypt (see Shlomo Dov Goitein's "The Mediterranean Society") as early as the 10th century (see also the Geniza documents|, by the Jewish population of the Maghreb in 15th century and in print by Jews in Iraq. There is a growing body of work on the Judeo-Arabic language, the most important being Joshua Blau's "The Emergence and linguistic background of Judaeo-Arabic" (last edition 1999). My research bibliography includes over 200 monographs and 300 scholarly papers on the subject by such scholars as Haim Blanc, Joshua Blau, Benjamin Hary, Joshua Fishman and Otto Jastrow - to name but a few. There are also audio materials available on the Semarch semitic languages archive website. Gentlemen, please check your sources before contributing.
I have been planning to write an entry on the Judeo-Arabic language for some time. Who should I coordinate my work with? Anybody who can help me, feel free to contact me.

thread_title:  Judeo-Arabic is a much more complex subject 

message: That's a severe mistake. I am a native alexandrian and our dialect is as far away from the Maghribi dialects as the Cairene one are. Perhaps in the past (1500-1600?) this was the case, but certainly not in our days. 93.160.123.238 (talk) 13:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Maghrebi Dialect of Alexandria?

message: The sidebar says Arabic script but the image and the article state Hebrew script. I suspect the sidebar is wrong. — Hippietrail (talk) 13:03, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Which is why, in addition to/instead of the Arabic/Hebrew translation in the opening line, it might be nice to include ערביה יהודיה (I think that's how 3arabiya yahudiya usually written). Better still would be an overview of how Arabic with Hebrew characters differs from standard orthography. —Wiki Wikardo 08:31, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Why is the term used in the article's title "languages" and not dialects? 
The rest of the page correctly treats these so-called "languages" as dialects. The articles about the specific varieites call them varieties. They are very similar to other local varieties. None of the titles of the sources listed in this article and in the articles of the specific dialects call the dialects languages, they all use the terms variety or dialect.
Furthermore, the speakers of these dialects these days usually call them Arabic or (insert location) Arabic, or sometimes, and this is quite rare, Jewish or Jewish Arabic, and treat them as another dialect of Arabic.
I see absolutely no reason for the title to be different from all of the listed above. Eladabudi (talk) 08:17, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I also want to add that both the Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia pages call the dialects dialects. Eladabudi (talk) 08:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Judeo-Arabic languages →  – Only the title of this particular page treats Judeo-Arabic dialects as languages. The rest of the article treats the subject as varieties/dialects. The articles on the specific varieties/dialects use the terms "variety" and "dialect", not "language". None of the titles of the cited sources in this page and in related pages (specific varieties) use the term language/s, they all treat them as dialects. Eladabudi (talk) 09:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
