[1] I wonder, what is wrong with redirecting to the general IPA page, rather than the MSA/Classical Arabic specific IPA page? The general page of IPA covers all sounds of Egyptian. IPA for Arabic doesn't. Kwamikagami, do you speak Egyptian? You should know that MSA language and pronunciation isn't pronounced natively by any society in the world. It must be learned. Even after learning it, you see some regional differences in pronunciation for MSA.
What is known as Egyptian Arabic isn't just MSA with Egyptian pronunciation. It is a different grammar with different phonology. It is not as the case of American English which is actually pronounced by some English language speakers compared with English English. Not to mention the difference of grammar between Classical Arabic and all the modern languages spoken in North Africa and West Asia. The template shouldn't redirect to WP:IPA for Arabic. Redirecting Egyptian to MSA, is as redirecting French to Latin. I hope you understood me now. Thanks. -- Mahmudmasri ( talk) 04:34, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
