Not making any sense[edit]
For Wikipedia there should be reputable and sourced supporting documents. It would be useful to have academic references to a/ That the Lawati are Arab b/ that Ibn al-'As had Lawatis in his Army rather than the use of ‘oral tradition’ ‘it is said’ ‘Verbal history’ ‘estimated to be approximately’ and that will mean that both 'sides' can have the use of reputable and sourced supporting documents which can benefit research. I found it very frustrating not to have any usable references. Esp when other sources place them as Persian via India http://www.ethnologue.com/language/luv.

Someone keeps on editing the article to say that Lawatis are an Arab "tribe" that originates from Oman although their religion and language are both signs that they originated from Hyderabad in India...!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.178.77.12 (talk) 12:46, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
There are two sides for the story, hope you respect both of them.
