Arabic transliteration (including dialects)
Hi,

Could you please use the symbols ʿ for ع and ʾ for hamza as in WT:AAR? E.g. (not "rabʕa") and  (not "ʔāḵur"). Also asking. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 21:51, 18 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, @Fenakhay told me to use these symbols: ʕ and ʔ instead of ʿ and ʾ. Also, it is better to see the difference between those symbols. But thanks. --93.132.166.51 21:54, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Please no., sorry but WT:AAR should be considered our language policy, if you disagree with it, please propose to change it, rather than just doing your preferred way. The consistency in a dictionary is very important. No transliteration is perfect, the current one is based on Hans Wehr dictionary and nobody complains. . --Anatoli T.

 * Also, خ is "ḵ", not "kh" or "x". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:12, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, I corrected this. I was to lazy to replace this --93.132.166.51 23:42, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll have to replace your non-standard symbols later when you're done. Someone else may do that still. This is what happens when a method is used the majority doesn't agree with :) Thanks for your understanding and for your contribution! --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don’t think the different symbols cause confusion, there are always editing styles that cause pages in such a project look differently, WT:HE TR also admits differences, and I consider your time too valuable for this trifle, maybe it’s a bot job. Fenakhay has a point; though I do not agree with his deviation, it apparently makes him happy and I am not him who therewith sets an incentive against his work here – I think he really writes ʕ and ʔ because the using the others manually is error-prone because one does not distinguish them well by the eye, so I have sometimes missed the right one in transcriptions –, and I do not strife because of such an issue more marginal than a fraction of the . In my view we should use for the voiced pharyngeal fricative the free letter с and for the glottal stop as its counterpart the ↄ all over Semitic – Aramaic currently is also mixed because we do not go the full hog.

 * I disagree with your lightnerss or carelessness about standards. Of course, we are not going to discourage users from editing if they don't follow standards but it's wrong to insist on using them knowingly. There's always a way to change the standard by suggesting, discussing and voting and sticking to the agreed standard. No strife here, just a request to do the right thing. This would also save time, if everybody cooperates. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:01, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
