Discussing Islamic Terms for Wikipedija Malti

Merħba ToniSant,

I would like to discuss further when it comes to certain Islamic terms here, although maybe there are many more discussions already held on other articles on mt.wikipedia, but I would just like to reassure myself and to avoid giving difficulties to others if the terms I would use as the main article title could pose a problem. I also would run into issues where I ran out of resources to refer as my dictionary at times, prompting me at times to coin new terms. As of now, I think I want to address the Maltese terms for these: 1. salah/salat (the Islamic worshiping ritual) -> sala/Sala jew salat? 2. adhan/azan/azaan/adan (the call to salah) -> adan, l-adan 3. zakat/zaka (the almsgiving) -> żaka jew żakat? 4. Eid al-Fitr (this phrase is perfectly translatable/to be Malti-sised) -> Għid il-Fitr/Għid il-Fatar (jew bħala ortografija alternattiva biss?) 5. Eid al-Adha -> Għid l-Adħa 6. Names of certain Muslim/Arab figures (reason being in certain Arab countries they would write their own Romanisation of names such as in Tunisian: Muhammad -> Mhammed, Karim -> Krim, Al-Amin -> L-Emin, I figure out a Maltese Romanisation of names are also very suitable and is being used in certain names such as Muhammad -> Muħammed) And perhaps other more complex Islamic terms as well, as they are somehow involved in describing both Islamic and medieval history. And again, I am very sorry for my linguistics nerdiness :') Grazzi. ~~ ~~ SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid (talk) 14:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid - thank you very much for your note. I don't feel I'm the right person to respond to your request for discussion. However, if you don't mind me saying, I know enough to think some of your concerns come from the fact that Maltese is not a language in which you're proficient. No offense meant, of course! The main sources I'd refer you to would be anything written on the subject by either Edmund Teuma (for example, this) and/or Martin Zammit. They are the Maltese linguistic experts on Islamic and Arabic terms in Maltese. Sticking to them as sources is a guarantee that you're basing whatever you feel works best on years of research and scholarship on the subject matter.
Unfortunately, I don't know any Wikimedians who are very familiar with these essential sources, otherwise I'd gladly refer you to them. I don't feel competent enough to discuss this matter with you beyond referring to these sources. Perhaps you could post this on the Maltese Wikipedija Pjazza and/or the Wikimedia Community Malta Facebook page and/or group. Ir-risq! -- ToniSant (talk) 16:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply @ToniSant! Yes I've read some of Martin Zammit's writings before, most in English and some in Maltese especially when it comes to the relationship between Maltese and Arabic. Those writings really somehow helped me in my Maltese and at approximating Arabic terms into Maltese (which surprisingly boosts my proficiency in estimating the Maltese verbs and plurals :D). With that, said I'll consider your suggestions in the future and I am still trying my best to be extra proficient with Maltese ;). Madankollu niżżik ħajr u r-risq għalik wkoll! SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid (talk) 05:08, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
@SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid please don't be disheartened! And keep up the great work, it's all good and essential in the end. I'm happy to say that your Maltese is probably better than that of some native speakers, who find it harder than you to write this language. :) -- ToniSant (talk) 09:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
@ToniSant thanks for that, at least I'm glad to know my current progress with Maltese by a native Maltese speaker :D although I might still have problems when it comes to speaking since I don't really have a chance to speak with anyone that speaks Maltese XD. SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid (talk) 22:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Wikimedia Community Malta is organizing an edit-a-thon in collaboration with Wikimedia Morocco in the coming days. I'll make sure you're invited to that as it may give you an opportunity to meet some of the active community members, @SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid. How's that? I see that you've already attracted some community interest on il-Pjazza! Please consider yourself one of us, we're all learners here.  :-) -- ToniSant (talk) 10:01, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
@ToniSant Ow wow that's wonderful :D Thanks so much for that! - SidAlmoħadMuwaħħid (talk) 10:33, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
