Talk:Shawiya language

Untitled
And, of course, another reason for the threat to the continued existence of the Chaoui/ta-Chawit language might be that in 1998 French & 'Berber' (what did that mean?) were banned as official languages, leaving only Arabic. Presumably in effort to unite Algerians of Arab, Berber & European descent.

(Do people of Catalan, Basque, Welsh, Quebecois, Acadien/Cajun, Aymara, Quecha, Guarani, Mapuche descent have any view on this?).

Shawia language → Chaoui language — As per WP:COMMONNAME. The name of the language and people is Chaoui. A quick google search of Chaoui returns 1.94 million hits while a Google search for Shawia returns 29,900 hits and I'm sure most are due to the article currently entitled using Shawia.

Lack of discussion, conflicting evidence
There was no discussion above. A quick check on GBooks will come to the opposite conclusion: if LLC (a WP republisher) is excluded from the search, and searches are restricted to post-2000, "Chaoui Berber" has 56 hits, of which 36 display, whereas "Shawiya Berber" has 414 hits, of which 173 display. The millions of hits above are mostly people's names and geographical. — kwami (talk) 15:21, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
