Copied from en:Talk:Main_Page I have noticed that while the list of languages (on many wikipedia opening pages) refer to the Arabic Wikipedia as "(Araby)" or something like that, the Arabic script reads at best al-Arabiya (العربية)... and last I checked, we refer to languages rather than regions or countries (also according to the "Araby" transscript mentioned earlier). Am I correct - Arabic readers please comment and correct - that it would be more appropriate to call this عربي instead? -- Ralesk 18:01, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC) PS: the bidi support of Mozilla is terrible :-( PPS: as a matter of fact, Ericsson mobile phones that support Arabic interface language also write عربي. | I think I agree, although I don't actually speak Arabic, so I'm | basing my opinion on a Google search.
