Talk:Egyptian Arabic

message: The term "Aamyyia" doesn't belong to one nation, and doesn't refer to a certain dialect. Aamyyia is the most spoken Arabic of every single Arabic speaking country. 156.214.62.148 (talk) 12:19, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, it doesn't, yet within Egypt, the term is used to differentiate the local vernacular from the standard register of Arabic. However, this is sufficiently discussed in the Name section. إيان (talk) 23:38, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Iow, they're wrong. It does refer to a certain dialect in this dialect. — LlywelynII 04:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

message: :I noticed some problems with the local name(s), i did my best to fix them myself, but can someone please check my work?
:1. the local name in the info box "nativename = اللهجه المصريه " (Egyptian dialect) and introduction  (colloquial Egyptian) didn't match.
::* i added the name from the info box to the introduction. 
::* i didn't add the name from the introduction to the info box because there seems to be only room for one?
::* but possibly we should discuss which name goes in the infobox? the name in the intro has multiple references but the name in the infobox has none? Looking around wiktionary a combined name seems to be an option "Egyptian colloquial dialect"? 
::* other than the different word, they also spell the adjective "Egyptian" differently, one ends in ha and the other in ta-mahbuta. Is one of these an error? It doesn't look consistent for the difference in adjective congugation for differently gendered nouns? Are they in different dialects, one in Masri and one in MSA? I thought the dotless ha ending might be Masri, but it uses the Arabic Ya before the Ha  which doesn't seem like Masri?
:2. the name that was originally in the introduction didn't have a pronunciation, i added it from wiktionary   but it was "some assembly required"…
:::  al-‘āmmiyya   +  al-  +   miṣriyya  
::* should the lam ل in the second al ال also have a sakkun لْ like the first one?
::* does combining the words change the pronunciation?
: since you seemed to know what you were talking about in the topic above.

replies: text: Hey , thanks for your efforts and for your consideration in asking my opinion. "اللهجه المصريه" is common orthography in Egypt, though it's considered non-standard or even "incorrect" by prescriptivists. The name (and how it's written) is a very political issue on which there is not much reliable literature. Even  miṣriyya   is pronounced  "miṣriyya" in vernacular Egyptian, though this could also be considered "incorrect." The sukūn exists on that ل but it's not necessary to write it. And speaking for myself, I'd say the intro is already quite hampered with naming. I'd vote keep the naming section where it is. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further specific question I can help with. إيان (talk) 21:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: IPA belongs at Wiktionary entries unless they're unavoidable. Even then, they should be left shunted to the #Name section if one exists instead of cluttering the WP:LEADSENTENCE this badly. The romanizations, meanwhile, need to be restored where they're missing for any non-Latin text. — LlywelynII 04:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

message: :These factors help to make it the most widely spoken and by far the most widely studied variety of Arabic.[10][11][12][13][14]
Apart from  and  both applying here, Rough Guide is not remotely a  for this claim. None of them are or could be since it's patent nonsense. MSA and, to the extent it applies to the Quran, classical Arabic are both far more extensively studied. There may be some form of some claim that could apply to Egyptian Arabic w/r/t students in the New York City metro area or w/r/t second dialects among native speakers of Arabic... but what the article currently says can't remotely be true unless Muslims are now generally assumed to not study their holy book. — LlywelynII 04:38, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Complete nonsense should be removed

message: Explanation to add to this article: exactly why the word ال is romanized "el" rather than "al" in Egyptian Arabic. Is it actually also pronounced "el" rather than "al"? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 18:15, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
