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

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

Egyptian Arabic (arz), Tunisian Arabic (aeb-arab), Algerian Arabic (arq), and Moroccan

How many of those are supported by MediaWiki? Can you help find
translators for the missing ones?
