Hi, Tunisian language which is called Tunisian Arabic has been always under discussions on which writing system should use, I would like language committee have a review on following this booklet https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pKoVKMCvE54L4j9eEo0wc0w9gap8dwInGWmRiaqUt6M.
Hoi, In the past we accepted Egyptian Arabic. After that we were told that Arabic will not be accepted.. So yes, we can read this article but as long as the board does not accept all the projects WE approve... Thanks, GerardM

Nobody spoke about the Board yet.
First there's the question of writing system, on which the Langcom has to agree.
I cannot support Latin until I see convincing sources that it's useful to the speakers of this language. בתאריך 27 באפר׳ 2015 18:48, "Gerard Meijssen" gerard.meijssen@gmail.com כתב:

It was four years ago and a lot has changed since then.
Again, the question of writing system is the first one that we need to tackle. בתאריך 27 באפר׳ 2015 19:19, "Gerard Meijssen" gerard.meijssen@gmail.com כתב:

The "booklet" runs in the same vein as the website https://sites.google.com/site/stundardtunsi/ which we looked at last year (it bears the same logo "STUNdard"). I herewith repeat the review of an independent Tunisian Arabic scholar which I elicited last year:
"[...] it looks, despite the claims made on the website ("this project is not against any language"), to be an almost anti-Arabic project, out of tune with the wider population in choice of script, and even then showing both inconsistencies in writing, and writing allophones according to how the sound would be written in French. Even the style of Latin script is not how Tunisians write when doing so in Latin script - there seems to be a nod to Maltese, and I, even with an awareness of how Maltese works, had difficulty in reading it in places. Also they seem to prefer technical terms from French than (even commonly used) ones from Standard Arabic. Chances of any of this being adopted... low. But thanks for the link!"
Consequently, I'm with Amir in rejecting Latin script for Tunisian Arabic.
Fwiw, Oliver

Hoi, For the record I am all in favour of more Wikipedias of a flavour of Arabic. Thanks, GerardM
