Pronunciation

edit

is the final E in the name of the country pronounced or silent? Is the official pronunciation any different from what most English speakers would expect? Humphrey Tribble (talk) 06:59, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

The note seems to allow both pronunciations of Leone? Do the people use both? Humphrey Tribble (talk) 21:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I do not know anyone inside or outside the country that would pronounce the E. Davidbstanley (talk) 08:06, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Official Language

edit

Does the govt of Sierra Leone recognising "Bengali"as official language of their country ? Rabindra iop (talk) 13:19, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Rabindra iop: No. This has been discussed extensively in this talk page's archive and at Talk:Bengali language. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:51, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Verdict: False. Bengali/Bangla, spoken in Bangladesh, has never been declared Sierra Leone’s official language. It is neither recognised nor spoken anywhere in the country, as claimed by the referenced media organisations. I found on some websites. Rabindra iop (talk) 17:14, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

FWIW: once again, an IP editor has tried to add Bengali as an offical language of Sierra Leone in the infobox, citing the web site of the embassy of Sierra Leone[1] as "an official Sierra Leone government source". As already has been observed by User:WorldbruceinTalk:Sierra_Leone/Archive_1#Bangla_language, the embassy page is an unattributed word-for-word copy of the Wikipedia article from 2010 (Special:Permalink/358833575, complete with the outdated population estimate of 6.4 million), thus not reliable as an instance of WP:CIRCULAR referencing. Obviously, the Information Attaché did a lazy plagiarism job. –Austronesier (talk) 20:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sierra Leone is not Arab?

edit

I’m from Sierra Leone, and I am Arabian. I am Muslim, and I speak Arabic. I’m sure some other people from Sierra Leone are Arab too, why is it not considered Arab? 76.214.106.131 (talk) 04:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
