Indigenous
Dear Ehartz01, the word [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Languages_of_Egypt&type=revision&diff=885414613&oldid=885386860&diffmode=source "indigenous"] is anthropologically inappropriate, because the majority of Egypt's population didn't recently migrate, outnumbering the original population, like in the Americas and Australasia. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 23:38, 8 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Dear Mahmudmasri,
 * Thank you for your feedback. I don't believe the word "indigenous" necessitates the implication that it is used by a minority, or the presence of a "non-indigenous" majority, or whether that presence is a majority at all. It can simply mean originally from the land where they currently are found, regardless of the presence or non-presence of others. What constitutes "recent" migration is also up for debate. I believe "indigenous" was more appropriate a label than "other," quite literally otherizing the speakers of those languages. The current framing of the article listing them as "minority" languages is perhaps better and more politically neutral. Ehartz01 (talk) 22:53, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
