[edit] Personal essay

I have removed a lengthy personal essay that was posted on the talk page some time ago. Wikipedia is not the place for it. See what Wikipedia is not. — mark 07:11, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recent additions by Osheik Adam Ali

The recent addition of the Beja profile has been commented out because no sources are cited. I have asked Osheik Adam Ali to weigh in here. — mark 07:11, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tigrinya?

The article states that a number speak tigrinya, but I've never heard this. I know that a significant number speak Tigre (which, using the -inya/igna suffix meaning "language of" would be Tigrinya), but [[Tigrinya is a different language spoken by the Tigray-Tigrinya people, who are by and large christian (which would make the Beja unlikely to adopt their language). I will change it, but feel free to rv it if I am wrong.
