Talk:Academy of the Arabic Language in Cairo

A lexicon
Dear I was trying to tell you what you missed, the definition of the word [//www.dictionary.com/browse/dictionary lexicon] that it is the appropriate word, not [//www.dictionary.com/browse/dictionary dictionary]. I was explaining in the summary why your allegation was very obviously unfounded. I don't need references explaining to you the difference between both English words, but I did, however.

Second, you don't need to add transliteration for the institution as it is not an ancient, Islamic, or a grammatical topic. Refer to the Manual of Style/Arabic for more. Thanks, and please be mindful of your allegations. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 01:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The word "dictionary" is the common name used in the reliable sources.
 * Additionally, the word معجم, defined as follows:
 * المُعْجَمُ : (العلوم اللغوية) قاموس، كتاب يضمُّ مفرداتٍ لغويَّةً مرتَّبة ترتيبًا معيَّنًا وشرحًا لهذهِ المفردات أو ذكر ما يقابلها بلغة أخرى
 * aligns with the definition you provided for "dictionary":
 * a book, optical disc, mobile device, or online lexical resource (such as Dictionary.com) containing a selection of the words of a language, giving information about their meanings, pronunciations, etymologies, inflected forms, derived forms, etc., expressed in either the same or another language
 * If you want to add a section that goes into detail on the nature of Al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and Al-Mu'jam al-Wasīt and whether they are dictionaries or lexicons, feel free to do so with reliable sources. Otherwise it's wp:or and it will be removed. إيان (talk) 14:45, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It is your personal preference to maintain the imprecise translation for the book titles, since no source at all gives your English names for the mentioned books! In your [//www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/معجم/ same source] you wrote in the discussion, many words are given for معجم, including "lexicon".
 * It seems that you are unfamiliar with how native Arabic speakers use both words, معجم vs. قاموس and you came up with your incompetent interpretation and projected it on me.
 * You are very insistent, unaware of your wording, and [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Academy_of_the_Arabic_Language_in_Cairo&diff=next&oldid=1079199361 removed the template], without editing out your translation errors, again interpreting its addition according to your desires. I understand why the article has been once deleted, apparently due to bad editing.
 * Last, you added a transliteration for the article's title when it is totally unneeded and I already wrote to you why: you don't need to add transliteration for the institution as it is not an ancient, Islamic, or a grammatical topic. Refer to the Manual of Style/Arabic for more.
 * Recreating or initiating an article does't give you the right to dictate how it should be, despite shown your mistakes. Thank you! --Mahmudmasri (talk) 22:43, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Helping
I wish I could help you with some wrong transliterations, better English names, and proper redirects, but I feel discouraged by your behavior: Thanks again. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 23:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * قبطية has an initial high vowel, i.e qibṭiyya, not as you wrote Qabtiya
 * "Mansur Fahmi" is spelled Mansour Fahmy, in line with how Egyptians commonly spell their names, and there is a French article with this spelling about him.
 * "Al-Ahram press" could simply be redirected to the article of the newspaper, Al-Ahram since it is the most prominent piece it publishes, or simply avoid the too many red wikilinks you added.
