Talk:Afar

Should this article and Afar language be merged together? Also posted at Talk:Afar language. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:56, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Can we find a map that is not Ethipia specific? Trollderella 16:04, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the same article is about both the Afar people and the Afar Region. All the Ethiopian Region articles include a map, along with the template at the bottom. Mark's comments above at Talk:Afar language are correct, this really should be split into "Afar (ethnicity)" and "Afar Region." (For that matter, is there an Afar Region or Province in Eritrea? That's another article.) So yes, for the purposes of an "Afar (ethnicity)" article, it would be great to use a map showing their distribution in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti (though I've seen them much further away from the Afar Region, in Sodere). -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 16:27, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Aha, so we should split this into Afar (region) and Afar (ethnicity)? Trollderella 16:58, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes we should :) &mdash; mark &#9998; 17:29, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Done, although they could both now do with a bit of copyediting, and I would love some help fixing some of the 'what links here'! Trollderella 17:59, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
