ܐܪܡܝܐ

[edit]

@Kristian LahdoWhy was the edit reverted? ܐܵܪܵܡܵܝܵܐ did not just refer to Arameans in the same way as English does. In English it refers to the early ethnic Arameans, but it’s clear that in actual Syriac and other Aramaic dialects’ usage it was also used to refer to any community who spoke the Aramaic language. Such as Nabatean Arabs, Jews, and Assyrians. Adding “Aramaic speaker” as a definition alongside Aramaic makes that more clear. Shuraya (talk) 15:49, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Its the Same reason why English doesn't mean Indian or Pakistani sure both countries spoke English at a period of time, most of them still do but English mean a Speaker of English and not Indian and Pakistan. The same reason Why it doesn't make sense to just put Assyrian into the Aramean page. If thats the case why not out Chaldean, Arab, Persian, Sogdian etc. They all spoke Aramaic at a Period of Time the Claim that ܐܪܡܝܐ means Assyrian is just pathetic and lacks evidence Kristian Lahdo (talk) 01:38, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
