Talk:Barqah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newly created page with text brought from the original page Barka which used to include info on both a region in Libya PLUS a town in Oman (two topics oddly sharing one page). The names of the twon and region spell and mean differently in Arabic. "Barka" was supposed to be a transliteration for both. But because the transliteration spelling is right for the Omani twon ( بركاء ) and not so right for the Libyan region ( برقه ), I created a new Barqah page for the Libyan region with a most accurate transliteration spelling (Barqah). Now the page Barka includes only info about the Omani twon. Remarks on top of the page Barka and Barka (disambiguation) can be introduced, so as to give a link to this newly created page for whoever is looking for the Libyan region using the old wrong spelling (Barka). For easy-reference purposes, I intentionally kept the first version of this article identical to the original relevant text taken from "Barka", making my changes immediately after that in the 2nd version.
