This article was nominated for merging with English language in Lebanon on 20:25, 4 September 2023 (UTC). The result of the discussion (permanent link) was do not merge.

Proposed merge with Lebanese French[edit]

It is unlikely that the article will evolve into something of encyclopedic value but the other article could be improved with examples of pronunciation and specific phrases. Domdeparis (talk) 16:25, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

Hi, I've noticed there's overlap between this article and English in Lebanon, and I think we can and should merge this page and English in Lebanon into Languages in Lebanon, where we can also talk about other languages (Standard Arabic, Armenian and Levantine).

Possibly interested editors: @Keepcalmandchill, @Kcluedluigi, and @Gabbe.

Per the title-consistency policy, the Languages of Lebanon would be the title. FunLater (talk) 01:11, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I started a draft: Draft:Languages of Lebanon. I think the page I started is important regardless of whether this discussion's consensus is to delete, because of overlapping content, or to keep. FunLater (talk) 23:14, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

French has has a notable presence in France, I think its worthwhile to keep a separate article. Homerethegreat (talk) 17:00, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree with merger of all languages into one page (one page can exist as a framework for the entire situation of languages in Lebanon). Lebanon is a member of La Francophonie and preserves a high level of French speaking even after the mandate ended. This is different to English, which has no historic link to the country and is spoken by educated/online everywhere. The level to which languages of European powers remain spoken in former colonies is of encyclopedic and sociological interest as for many reasons it can be very high (Latin America) or very low (Indonesia).
