The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 18:00, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Sindhi language → Sindhi – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. No other articles use the word "Sindhi" except for the disambiguation page. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 16:01, 23 July 2015 (UTC) Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 02:09, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• Comment that's why there's a disambiguation page. Because every entry on the disambiguation page is a use of "Sindhi". Therefore, you have an invalid rationale. You have given no proof of primary topic-ness. Sindhi (language) works under COMMONNAME, but under WP:NATURALDAB the current title is preferred. -- 67.70.32.20 (talk) 04:36, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
  • procedural objection no proof given the language is primary. Sindhis is residing at the plural form of "Sindhi" so it must be shown that the language is the primary topic. -- 67.70.32.20 (talk) 04:40, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose ambiguous title. "Sindhi" also means Sindhis. Khestwol (talk) 09:22, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
• This is an adjective. It doesn't just refer to the language. RGloucester — ☎ 21:00, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Incubator

Please contribute to the incubator version of Sindhi language in Devanagari script for the wiki to be created and be a success.

• Link - incubator:Wp/snd

Please contribute and create articles if you know Sindhi and Devanagari script. Please I beg I am alone in this please contribute. Hoping many Sindhis contribute, 86.97.128.242 (talk) 13:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

For the time being I have cleared the test project to start at Incubator. However, I have reverted recent changes to this article at enwiki, as they do not accurately reflect the official language codes. Doing things like that is the best way to get the Language Committee to turn down your request. StevenJ81 (talk) 20:53, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Sindhi image logo should be in Naksh not in Nastaliq

Sindhi logo currently displayed on left side is in Nastaliq, even though Nastaliq might have some good aesthetic components to it and looks beautiful. But that is not the preferred way of writing Sindhi. Sindhi prefers the Naksh style just like Arabic does. So, I would suggest changing the logo image to same Sindhi word written in Naqsh style. aamirabro (talk) 22:45, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I've restored the Naskh-style version of the image, which was the one used until 2015, when an editor changed it for consistency with other languages of Pakistan. – Uanfala (talk) 23:26, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Uanfala but Image looks still more Nastaliq then Naskh to me this is an image is how "Sindhi" would b written in Sindhi. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Word_Sindhi_in_Perso-Arabic.svg/80px-Word_Sindhi_in_Perso-Arabic.svg.png aamirabro (talk) 09:26, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

If you're still seeing the Nastaliq variant it might be that your browser is displaying the old image from its cache, mine was certainly doing so for some time. The image actually present in the article is this one. It's the correct one, isn't it? If it's not, or if you prefer the slightly different styling of the other image, then feel free to replace it in the infobox. – Uanfala (talk) 22:10, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Example extracts

I have noticed something which is that the examples for scripts script differ.

For example in the Arabic script it is written:
جنھن تي عربي ٻوليءَ جو بہ تمام وڏو اثر آهي
जंहिं ते अरबी बो॒लीअ जो बि तमामु वॾो असर आहे
“Jinhein te/ti arbi boli a jo be tmaam vdo asr ahe/ahi”*
“Which has a major influence on the Arabic language”**

Where the example in the Devanagari script:
जंहिन ते कुझ द्राविड़ी उहुञाण पण मौजूद आहिनि
جنھن تي ڪجه دراوڙي اھڃاڻ پڻ موجود آھن
“Jinhein te/ti kuj dravri uhyan pn mojod ahin”*
“Which also has some Dravidian features”**

I’m not sure what to make of it, but I would like other’s opinions on this as to what it should be changed to or if it needs to be changed at all.

“*”(transliteration might not be exact/precise as I don’t speak Sindhi)
“**”(using Google translate)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Aurat (word)

The terms "Aurat", "Arvad", "Avret", and "Awrath" may refer to: Women of Asian religious or cultural descent and identity.

Self nomination for AFD since article copy pasted to Draft:Aurat for incubation because IMHO current article title Aurat (word) is misleading and confusing leading to western systemic bias and stifling the article growth. Please find Detail reason at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Aurat (word)

I invite project members to review current and potential sourcing and weigh in on the AfD discussion. Thanks!
