Should this be spelled with an "e" as in the title, or "Khwarazmian" as in the body of the article? -Uyanga 01:22, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There are many different Romanizations of this name -- check all the redirects to Khwarezmia -- so I don't think the spelling matters, as long as it's internally consistent. --67.71.78.115 01:29, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

About ideograms in Khwarezmian ( from http://www.iranianlanguages.com ): "Heterograms (ideograms) - The written Aramaic language of the Achamaenid period evolved into local Iranian, and the scribes began to insert Iranian words into their texts. The text language therefore turned into a "mixed" or "bastardized" Aramaic, but eventually the entire language was Iranian. However, Aramaic words were still written, but they became mere symbols for the corresponding Iranian words. These so-called "Semitic masks" are called "ideograms" or more recently called heterograms."

I am going to delete this confusing reference to ideograms and replace with heterograms. 152.135.235.188 21:48, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
