A fact from Mandaeans appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 June 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the number of Mandaeans in Iraq has fallen by more than 90% since the 2003 invasion due to religious persecution?
The current version of the Mandaeans article states that Mandaic has no discernible influence from Western Aramaic and cites publications from 2012 or older. It also links the origin of the Mandaeans with the Babylonians, based on this interpretation of the language. This contradicts the remainder of the section on Mandaean origins. It also contradicts the previous version of the wording on the Mandaic language in the Mandaeans article (below), which cited more recent publications from 2021 that do clearly show Western linguistic influences.
"The Mandaic language is a dialect of southeastern Aramaic with Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Samaritan Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, as well as Akkadian and Parthian influences and is closely related to Syriac and especially Jewish Babylonian Aramaic. Mandaic is mainly preserved as a liturgical language." 82.45.163.33 (talk) 12:06, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
