message: So why is Arabic "official as minority language" in Oman and the UAE? The coloring of the map is incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.176.28 (talk) 10:59, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Good evening
The so-called "Sahrawi Arab Republic" is not a state and has no sovereignty because these people live in Tindouf camps in Algeria.
You call it the "Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic". So why does it not a member of the Arab League ? And you wrote that its population is more than 500,000. 
"What statistic did you adopt?
You should know that two-thirds of the African countries do not recognize this entity, and are not recognized by the League of Arab States, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the European Union, and of course the United Nations.
 The Polisario, which auto proclaimed this alleged republic, was not present during the Spanish colonial period. This front is not internationally recognized as an "liberation movement", so how can it be representative of the Sahrawis? Consequently, the Polisario does not have any legal or popular basis, or even democratic legitimacy, to represent the population of Saharawi origin.
In summary, giving the so-called SADR the status of a "state" along with the Arab states in your statistics (although this entity is not recognized by the United Nations : the only body authorized to recognize the states) is completely wrong and inappropriate. 
 Please delete it from the list as soon as possible and thank you in advance .  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A03F:18EC:A600:44CB:A382:A32E:B5CF (talk) 23:18, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead indicates that the entries in this list should be "sovereign states and territories". One of the entries is Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic which is a partially recognized state. Either the lead should be modified to indicate that partially recognize states in addition to sovereign states are permitted or the entry should be removed.--S Philbrick(Talk) 20:52, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

message: "In the history" is strange wording in English. I've started to change appearances of that phrase to "historically" but "in the history" appears so often, I want to check if there's a reason for that expression before changing the table headers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:1101:BCE0:4414:1869:7205:42B1 (talk) 18:17, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I have a feeling a lot of the numbers under '% of Arabic Speakers' and 'No. of Arabic Speakers' are wrong. Like why is Jordan only 76.38? Why is Libya only 72.09? How is Yemen how 54.68? What else are they speaking in Yemen other than Arabic? I feel like a lot of these numbers should be a lot high than what they are stated as. I think it might be for the best to update these columns or delete them. -- Toby Mitches (talk) 10:19, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I will delete the columns around the 30th of June if the columns aren't updated to believable numbers, this is a warning to anyone who cares -- Toby Mitches (talk) 05:13, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
