File talk:Arab World-Large.PNG

This map is partly the product of mere phantasy! For exapmle it schows arab dialects in regions, where there are no autochthone arabic spaekers like in southern Sudan or in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. For ather regions, like for example central Arabia, there are no scientific data about the dialects. The map looks very impressive, but in my opinion it's a mere fabricication! --(Metron (talk) 13:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC))

Not only that, but it excludes the admittedly mobile and mixed Israeli Arabic-speaking population (this area should be, at the very least, hashed, and probably solid especially in the south), in a country where Arabic is an official language, and utterly ignores the much less mobile (outside its home region) and more homogeneous Arabic-speaking population of western and especially southwestern modern Iran. 71.82.157.201 (talk) 06:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

This map has no source, merely the perception of its author. Very misleading, lots of inaccuraciesTachfin (talk) 12:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Agreed with all of the above. The map is original research and contains a lot of inaccuracies, to boot. Middayexpress (talk) 18:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

I said the same earlier, but my remarks were deleted. The map falsely claims that areas speaking Berber languages and Modern South Arabian are Arabic-speaking. Arabic might be spoken in those areas as a second language, but the same applies to the whole world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.109.117 (talk) 15:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Somali

Somali and Afar are put down as Arabic dialects, oddly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.96.47 (talk) 11:56, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
