• Any examples on the /t͡ʃ/ in Saidi Arabic? As far as I know, it doesn't exist in it. Or, does it exist in limited and unpopular areas?
• What about the pharyngealized consonants? Does Saidi Arabic really lack them all together or were they just forgotten to be written in the article? --

Actually, both are used. Our article was wrong -- the Wehr dictionary uses the symbol I did (which is probably where I got it from), as does (according to the UNGEGN report) the Survey of Egypt System. So we'd probably want to decide which to use for Wikipedia. Personally, I'd prefer we didn't conflate 'ayn and 'okina, since 'okina is basically a hamza. — kwami (talk) 09:35, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear

The article uses many different spellings of Saʽidi. Is there a reason for this? Can I change them all to match the spelling in the title? Dicklyon (talk) 05:34, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
