What's the reasoning for using this strange letter instead of normal "f"? 90.186.170.69 22:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You know that there was an orthographic tradition to use  for /f/ and  for /q/, competing with for /f/ and  for /q/ right? Nobody writes that way of course, for good reason. The page creator Stephen G. Brown did have some outdated, not to say Medieval, ideas on how Arabic is written, that’s the reason, what I can tell. Fay Freak (talk) 22:27, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Whoever created this entry doesn't have a single clue about Arabic dialects. No one in Morocco uses when writing their dialect. Nowadays, its use is restricted to the writing in the  and some official documents from the Royal Palace. — Fenakhay ( حيطي · مساهماتي ) 22:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

 * The person who created the entry does have a clue about Arabic and Arabic dialects but back in 2009‎ the support for alt encodings may not be as good, let alone the knowledge about it or inputs available. Please give Stephen G. Brown a break - he was a great long-time contributor and we still don't know 100% what happened to him. Hope he's still alive and well. Delete the entry per nomination and per Fay Freak. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
