Air Miss ⇆ Анатолий[edit]

Или Air Miss и عربية \ فارسی: спасибо, Анатолий!

I'd like to take a greater part, but I don't have a great share of time. I'll do what I can with Arabic and, I insist, with Hebrew: My father is a muslim (partly a Crimean Tatar), he taught Coranic Ararbic, he speaks fluently the Egyptian dialect and Standard Arabic; my boyfriend is an Israeli. I learn both languages and don't want to listen to any sectarism of any sort.

Here's a non-abrasive LOL — from a snail — for you and your advice, Anatoliy...

Hi, Air Miss.
Well, sectarianism is irrelevant here, as ALL languages are welcome. For Hebrew, you can talk to User:Ruakh, check WT:AHE.
A similar page for Arabic is WT:AAR and for Persian transliteration is WT:FA TR and some other rules are here WT:AFA.
We haven't agreed on some rules for Arabic transliteration but still, please be consistent. Knowing a language is very important but having correct entries/translations is equally important. You can learn by observing, looking at existing entries. When you learn, Ric Laurent will be able to help as he has created some great templates for Arabic verbs, which need to be used for new entries.
Note that we transliterate the pausal form of Arabic noun, e.g. ملك is "málik", not "málikun" and we use the lemma or dictionary form of verbs (perfective - ماضي), e.g. كتب "kátaba", not يكتب "yaktubu" in translations and entries. We do separate MSA and dialects. For standard, classical or generic (colloquial but for Arabic dialects) Arabic we use "ar" language code but for Egyptian we use "arz". --Anatoli (обсудить) 00:36, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
