- 16 msg. [Theophilus Habarakhe] asked for comments on Muslim place
names in America and Australasia for his "FI" conworld. As a result,
ppl started discussing various related things:
- what Muslim states were Shi`i in OTL ("our timeline")?
- lexical differences between various Arabic dialects;
- Islamic Spain, and [Yitzik]'s ~Ajami~ - a conlang for an ATL
("alternative timeline") where Iberian Peninsula had no
Reconquista - a kind of Mozarabic survived and flourishing till
nowadays; Latin translit scheme for Ajami;
- religion in Europe in Ajami TL;
- types of Arabic personal names.

-----------------
I see a steady trend for losing activity. I was expecting that the
main List limits would provoke burst of activity in the workshops.
Does conlanging become tedious?
Anyway, that's all for now,
Peace and grace upon you all,
    -- Isaac Penzev (aka Yitzik)
