Talk:Languages of Muslim countries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isn't Hausa the language of Nigerian muslms? Not Ibo or Yoruba which are mostly spoken in the south. Eclecticology
Removed this bit:
- Bible translations in several Arabic dialects/languages are in progress. This may eventually help decide the dialect/language matter.
The first sentence is vaguely interesting but not really relevant, and the second sentence is meaningless. --Brion VIBBER 20:08 Jul 29, 2002 (PDT)
[edit] I don't get it.
What is the purpose of this article? There are loads of muslims, and maybe you should list languages that are NOT spoken by muslims. Start with Inuit language. But wait, I would be surprised if there was not a single muslim in the world who can speak a little inuit. -- 790 20:47, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I completely agree... I think Languages of Muslim countries might be better... this is very POV and much like orientalism... "those Muslims over there speak X languages". I highly recommend a rewrite or something to fix this. gren 07:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I think this should be Muslim languages. There's an article on Jewish languages, and I don't really see the distinction.
For Afghanistan, Hindko is NOT one of the major languages of Afghanistan; in fact, its not spoken at all there. Source: Ethnologue entry on Afghanistan - http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=AF

The 13 Muslim groups around the Philippines use different languages. The name of a particular group is also the name of its specific language. Some of those who have been privileged to accomplish further studies know and use Arabic for religious purposes.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.1.53.45 (talk)
