ى
Hi, Karim. Please, don't rewrite the final ى to ي in Egyptian-related topics.

The final form as ى is the standard and common form used in Egypt in Literary Arabic and in print as well as handwritten forms. Read more at aleph and yodh. Arabic is a pluricentric language, don't forget. Just like British-related topics use British spellings, Egyptian-related topics use Egyptian spellings. --Esperfulmo (talk) 22:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Esperfulmo I don't see much difference. The used template is, not , as you see. Anyway, is this the official name? -- Karim talk to me :)..! 23:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Literary Arabic, also called Modern Standard Arabic, and Classical Arabic, uses the template lang-ar.
 * The way Egyptians spell with the undotted ى is standard practice in Egypt and it's actually the original way to spell the letter finally.
 * The dotted final form ي was a Levantine novelty that just started to get popular in other countries after Arabizing computers after the eighties.
 * The undotted form is used even in printed Koran books. Nothing is less right about it. --Esperfulmo (talk) 23:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * What is in the template should be as Manual of Style/Arabic. Are the edits you reverted as written officially? -- Karim  talk to me :)..! 23:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
