I felt article Islamic_literature is in bit of neglect so I added my note on talk page there, requesting to take note of Talk:Islamic_literature#Article_review. If possible requesting copy edit support. Suggestions for suitable reference sources at Talk:Islamic_literature is also welcome.
Posting message here too for neutrality sake
Thanks and greetings

The terms "Aurat", "Arvad", "Avret", and "Awrath" may refer to: Women of Asian religious or cultural descent and identity.
Self nomination for AFD since article copy pasted to Draft:Aurat for incubation because IMHO current article title Aurat (word) is misleading and confusing leading to western systemic bias and stifling the article growth. Please find Detail reason at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aurat (word)
I invite project members to review current and potential sourcing and weigh in on the AfD discussion. Thanks!

@ Za-ari-masen: While there are several sources repeating the claim that Bengali is an "honorary offcial" language of Sierra Leone, this source in the Bangladeshi newspaper The Independent explicitly debunks the myth. This means we have conflicting information from sources of an equal degree of reliabilty (newspapers). But NB, we do not have sources from offical Sierra Leone government sites which confirm the official status of Bengali in Sierra Leone. And this is the kind of source we need to back up the statement per WP:V. – Austronesier ( talk) 11:01, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
However, the inhabitants of the nation do not use the Bengali language in their daily life, as it is just an honorary status for the Bengali language in Sierra Leone. Therefore, it is not true that the Bengali language is declared as an official language in Sierra LeoneIt just opposes the claim of official language and states Bengali doesn't have any daily use, but the claim of honorary status is re-established by your source. Za-ari-masen ( talk) 09:12, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
We still should find a consensus version of the text that mentions the Sierra Leone events of 2002 in the main part of the article.
As for the recent addition of Chicago, a cross check does not confirm the "official status". Luckily, no-one can say that sources about the US are "hard to come by". The report is based this brochure by the Cook county treasurer. I can't read here that Bengali is an official languages (or any other of the 103 languages mentioned there). – Austronesier ( talk) 14:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
The current citation ( [2]) is extremely poor. This reference has no information at all about what the form of the language was. Probal Dasguta mentions here that the language in the "early" phase has not been worked out completely. Should we keep this hanging here? Chaipau ( talk) 12:37, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
No edit war please. Some people want the mention of Indo-Aryan as it is the overarching category and contributes to the feeling of unity with the rest of India while others want to be more specific and want it to be Eastern Indo-Aryan and also because mentioning Indo-Aryan and Bengali-Assamese without mentioning the intermediate category makes the introduction look inconsistent. I have an idea. Lets keep both so everyone is happy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.147.206.115 ( talk) 21:47, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
At the top of the "sadhu bhasha article it says: "For the Standard register of the language, known as Shuddho bhasha, see Bengali language." But here in this page, it only mentions Cholitobhasha, not Shuddho bhasha. Some clarification on that would be nice ? I also recently corrected the "Bengali dialects" page which conflated (or mistranslated) sadhu/shuddho in one place. Shahin911 ( talk) 07:18, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
