Hoi, At the time when the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia was created, there was a lot of blowback because "there is only one Arabic". There is not, it is why these are considered languages by linguists and not dialects.
In my personal opinion, all the Arabic languages may have their Wikipedia, they may certainly have recognition in Wikidata. Thanks, GerardM

Dear Mr., I thank you for your answer. All the Arabic dialects are not supported by MediaWiki but Egyptian Arabic (arz), Tunisian Arabic (aeb-arab), Algerian Arabic (arq), and Moroccan Arabic (ary). Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki

How many of those are supported by MediaWiki? Can you help find translators for the missing ones? https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translatewiki.net_languages

Dear Mr., I thank you for your answer. Of course, all the Arabic dialects have semantic distinctive features. That is why we would like them to be supported by Wikidata. Our idea is to add labels in all Arabic dialects to Wikidata entities and then use the final output in the Natural Language Processing of the Arabic dialects. We will use for that existing resources and the datasets we built. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki ________________________________ De : Wikidata wikidata-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org de la part de Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijssen@gmail.com Envoyé : dimanche 14 janvier 2018 10:41:42 À : Discussion list for the Wikidata project.
