Talk:Soqotri language

message: The affinities of the Arabic dialect on Soqotra ought to be mentioned.
I should imagine it has links with the Yemeni-Omani-Hadhrami dialect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.4.21 (talk) 08:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

message: There is no Yemeni-Omani-Hadhrami dialect.. because there are many big Yemeni Arabic dialects in Yemen "shimaalan wa ganuuban" (Sana'ani, Adeni-Ta'izzi, Dathina and Hadhrami - and these are not all of them), as well as there is an Arabic dialect of Oman. The local population in Mahra speaks several MSA languages as well as the population of the Soqotra archipelago (Yemen) and of Dhofar province of Oman. The Soqotrans are speaking Arabic dialect well but it seams to have Gulf Arabic features for favorite Soqotran emigration to UAE for decades. Mutargim (talk) 03:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soqotri is a MSA language 

message: One thing that became clear with the question on the "Confusion" section above is that the first paragraph was a mess.  The reference to the travelogue just to justify the alternate spelling "Socotri" was totally unnecessary.  An overall reference to Ethnologue is quite sufficient to reference alternate spellings.  The second part of that first paragraph was a clutter of references to Militarev and was not correct even when talking about his conclusions.  I cleaned that all up to clarify it.  However, I think that the entire final sentence of that first paragraph is not appropriate here, but is appropriate at the MSAL article.  This article isn't about where the MSAL fit into a Semitic framework, but about Soqotri only.  I moved it there.  (Taivo (talk) 13:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
