I've been redoing the Arabic names and terms in this article to conform with Arabic and Wolof transliteration conventions, which probably look really bizarre to anyone reading traditional Western literature on the subject. Maybe I'm being too sweeping in my changes. I've also been considering renaming this article "Tijani" or (preferably) "Tijaniyya" (or "Tijāniyya", but that would be hard to look up) in accordance with these conventions. (If "Tidjani" were well established in English as this group's name I might hesitate more, but "Tijaniyya" is probably more commonly used in the English-speaking world French-inspired "Tidjani".) Any thoughts, objections?

- Generally the WP convention is to pick the most commonly used English language version, unless there is no common English language way to write it, and then we use whatever seems most correct. Tijaniyya sounds fine to me! --Dvyost 13:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
