@Benwing I reckon language names, demonyms (nationalities) should be common nouns, not proper nouns in Arabic. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:01, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going by the fact that language names are specified as proper nouns in English. Demonyms should be common nouns but that might be different. Benwing (talk) 23:07, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think language names should be treated as common nouns, like in most languages. English and a small number of others are exceptions. Same with month, weekday names, no need to follow English on this. Language names don't have to be preceded by ال, colloquially - just adjectives are language names. --Anatoli T.

If you wish, go ahead and change it. Benwing (talk) 03:22, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That was a suggestion only for a general approach to languages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
