Talk:Arbayistan

Name

@Mugsalot: I added "not in source" after the Arabic version of the name, because the name is not an Arabic word at all, and was probably invented by User:Kingesh, it looks to be just a modern rendering of the Parthian name Arbāyistān in Arabic script. Moreover, there is no recorded text from Arabs of Persian Mesopotamia; the common language (at least the one used for writing) in the region was Classical Syriac back then. "Zoroastrian Middle Persian" is a well-stablished name used to refer to the late form of the Middle Persian language used to write Zoroastrian religious texts after Islam. --Z 12:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I looked through the page history and it was added without source by a non-registered user, so I'm not opposed to removing the Arabic version.

Also, I was unaware of the term "Zoroastrian Middle Persian", so I apologise. Mugsalot (talk) 13:26, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

@ZxxZxxZ: Kingesh is a CU blocked sockpuppet of User:Ehsan iq. Feel free to remove it, per WP:EVASION, WP:DENY and WP:VER. - LouisAragon (talk) 21:48, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I removed it. I also improved wikilink for "Zoroastrian Middle Persian". --Z 08:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Etymology?

Hello, may i know why there is no explanation of the term "Arbayistan"? For example Asōristān has a whole name section. Waiting for a response... MWahaiibii (talk) 19:23, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

There isn't an etymology section as no one has written one. Feel free to do so when you have the appropriate sources. Mugsalot (talk) 23:01, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

im not much of a writer, but i added new section "Name" same as in the article Asōristān with the appropriate sources mentioned. I hope its not that bad. MWahaiibii (talk) 11:35, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
