Mustafaa changes the official and legal name of the Persian Gulf to a fake and illigal thing "Gulf" (which Gulf???) and thinks it is OK?!!! What about ommiting all the names and call everything "Sea", "Land", "Lake" instead of using their names? Come on! What do you people have against things Persian? What is this?? --Mani1 20:20, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
What do you have against things Arabian? How many speakers of Gulf Arabic do you think will call it Persian Gulf Arabic? The name this language is best known by is Gulf Arabic ([1][2][3][4][5]). Get used to it. - Mustafaa 00:35, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Yeah its true damn right I am with Mustafaa. I lived in gulf more than 4 years and no one call it persian Gulf. Semitic
Without the nationalist rhetoric, the name of this language is universally accepted as "Gulf Arabic". All linguistic literature in English calls it "Gulf Arabic". It doesn't matter what it is called in Persian, this is the ENGLISH Wikipedia and in English the language is universally known among linguists as "Gulf". ISO 639-3 uses "Gulf", Ethnologue uses "Gulf", all the grammars and dictionaries in English use "Gulf". Case closed. I will automatically undo all attempts to change this to "Persian Gulf Arabic".
