Talk:Ajami script

Untitled

I set up this stub. The category was already referenced in one form or another in several other places. Needs back links to articles that link here, as well as some thinking about the overall arrangement of Arabic script and other Arabic-derived alphabets of Africa under different names, such as Sorabe and Wolofal. --A12n 19:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Berber

Do Arabic orthographies for Berber languages count as Ajami? Mo-Al (talk) 06:27, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Vowels /e/ and /e:/

The table shows the letter ت with two diacritics for the vowels /e/ and /e:/. It should show the diacritics without the letter ت. I'm not going to edit this because I don't have a reference yet, and because I don't know where to get the unicode of that diacritic.3omarz (talk) 12:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

@3omarz: Looking on Graphemica, my understanding is that /e/ is U+065C ◌ٜ ARABIC VOWEL SIGN DOT BELOW and /eː/ is U+065C plus U+0670 ◌ٰ ARABIC LETTER SUPERSCRIPT ALEF (so ◌ٰٜ). That means the forms in the table are shown with tāʼ as تٜ and تٰٜ, yes? — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 19:09, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Ajami in Eurasia

I'm not sure where the author of this article came by the unsourced idea, which I removed from the text, that the term Ajami only applies to African languages. It is commonly used for Eurasian languages written in Arabic script as well. For instance, the word Aljamiado is simply a hispanicization of the Arabic word Ajami. In addition, scholars routinely use the word "Ajami" to refer to any non-Arab language written in Arabic script. O.M. Nash (talk) 16:12, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
