Libyan placenames
[edit]I'm working on a standard (and official) system to transliterate (and retrotransliterate) Arabic script into my native language (applyable also for Spanish and Portuguese with some changes) and I'm nowadays trying to apply it in toponimic names for a publication, so I've chosen Libyan names first. The system has already been published and can be seen here, section 5.2. I've seen some inconsistencies in the name (transliteration) of some shabiyas of Libya (some articles give one transcription, some others give one different) in the articles of Wikipedia and its sources (mainly articles Districts of Libya and List of FIPS region codes (J-L)#LY: Libya, and sources for ISO 3166-2:LY here and here and statoids.com; if needed I can provide the differences in sources leading to confusion), and ask for help from a native speaker of Arabic to clear some doubts. Can you help me?
Problems are mainly concerning the unmarked harakaat for long vowels in the Standard Arabic version of the placename, and are the following:
| 1 | الجفارة | 'al-jifaaraº | 'al-jafaaraº | vowel of first syllable after article (or none?) | Al Jfara |
| 2 | النقاط الخمس | 'al-nuqaat. 'al-Hams | 'al-niqaat. 'al-Hams | vowel of first syllable after article | An Nuqat al Khams |
| 3 | سرت | sirt | surt | vowel of first syllable | Surt |
| 4 | ترهونة و مسلاته | msalaataº | masallaataº | vowel of first syllable (of third word) | Tarhuna Wa Msalata |
| 5 | المرقب | 'al-murqub | 'al-marqab | vowel of first and second syllables | Al Murgub |
| 6 | مرزق | murSuq | marSuq / murSaq | vowel of first and second syllables | Murzuq |
| 7 | يفرن | yafran | yifrin | vowel of first and second syllables | Yafran |
| 8 | غريان | Rarii'aan | Rarii'aan / Rariyaan / Raryaan | vowels of second and third syllables | Gharyan |
| 9 | سوفاجين | sawfaajjiin | sawfajjiin | length of vowel for consonant "f" | Sawfajjin |
| 10 | زلتان | Slitan | Slitaan | length of vowel for consonant "t" | Zlitan |
| 11 | القبة | 'al-qubaº | 'al-qubbaº | gemination (shadda) of "b" or not? | Al Qubah |
| 12 | الواحات | 'al-waaKhaaº | 'al-waaKhaat | last consonant: h, t or ta marbutah? | Al Wahat |
| 13 | مرادة | marad | maradah | structure of third syllable: ta marbutah? | Maradah |
| 14 | مصراتة | mis.(u)raatah | mus.(u)raatah | vowel of first syllable after article and last consonant: h, t or ta marbutah? | Misratah |
I am committed to upload the publication of the final article, if released, the same way I did with the previous one. Please check in my talk page if this is already answered.
