Based on [[Iranica]] and some other important references, Bakhtiari and Lurish people are third most popular ethnicity of Ahvaz . when you add Khozestani arabic you must add other popular native langs . unless you only suffice it to add only Official language of the country (Persian) and most popular native of the city.

Ahwaz
Please stop adding that. "Al-Ahwaz" is a wrong name. Alefbe is right. --Wayiran (talk) 05:22, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
No, you are wrong. sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. and it Pronounced as أحواز and also أهواز. Mussav (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- www.alahwaz.org is run by a militant ultra-nationalist group which uses the term al-ahwaz to refer to Khuzestan. Here, we talk about the city, not about the Khuzestan province. Alefbe (talk) 20:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- So you are saying they call their province by the Arabic name أحواز and call their capital city by the Persian one? you don't make any sense. Mussav (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm from Ahwaz and live in Ahwaz. It's Ahwaz(Ahvaz) اهواز city and Khuzestan خوزستان province. I don't know Arabic but I have never heard Al-Ahwaz here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.144.142.89 (talk) 14:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC) I am from Ahwaz: Why in the wrticle it's all written Ahvaz? Ahwaz is the pleural form of Al-huz and is pronounced and should be written "Ahwaz" not "Ahvaz". There are many examples of such pleural forms like: Walad: Awlad (ولد: أولاد ) Wazn: Awzan (وزن : أوزان); Waraq: Awraq ( ورق : أوراق ); Watan: Awtan (وطن: أوطان ). This is how the original Arab Ahwazis are writing and pronouncing it. Faraghati (talk) 11:11, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Siavash Ghomeyshi
Why is Siavash Ghomeyshi listed under a notable Ahvazi? His wikipedia page clearly indicates that he comes from Dezful, not Ahvaz. I am going to remove him from the list. Bozium (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Ahwaz / Ahvaz
On September 30th, seeing that the majority of Ahvaz's inhabitants are Arabic speakers and that they had their own name (الأحواز)(romanized as al-ʾAḥwāz) for the city, I supplemented the article Ahvaz with the Arabic version as well as its Romanization. Note that this was a supplement, and not a substitution.
A few hours later an editor (Kathovo) undid my addition and referred to my contribution as "vandalism".
Many Israeli cities are found in Wikipedia which list both the Hebrew as well as the Arabic names of those cities (e.g. Nazareth, Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Ashdod, Beersheba, Ashkelon, etc), presumably on the basis that the Arabic names are used by the Arabic speaking population of those officially Hebrew speaking cities.
I doubt that the addition of those Arabic versions of the names is the work of "vandals".
The situation with Ahwaz is the same. Although Ahwaz is undoubtedly controlled by Iran and currently falls within its borders, nevertheless its population is mainly Arabic speaking and there is an Arabic name for the city.
In light of this, how can Kathovo justify calling my contribution, which consisted only of adding further accurate information to the article, "vandalism"?
P.S. Even distinguished Persian writer Abbas Mīlānī, writing as recently as 2008 in his Eminent Persians : the men and women who made modern Iran, 1941 - 1979 Vol. 1 refers to the city by the romanization of its Arabic name.
Why is supplementary information which is permissible in articles about Israeli cities being excluded in an article about an Iranian city?
Thank you for your feedback and your consideration. --أخوها (talk) 17:48, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
- Kathovo has given permission to re-add the Arabic name of al-Ahwaz to the article.--أخوها (talk) 20:36, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Population
Would someone please confirm the population of this city? How can it have 3 million people when its population in the list is nowhere NEAR that? I think this is wrong. I estimate the population based on size of its area and my knowledge to look like more like 1.1-1.3 million. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.170.94 (talk) 05:50, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Bakhtiari Lurish language
Based on Iranica and some other important references, Bakhtiari and Lurish people are third most popular ethnicity of Ahvaz . when you add Khozestani arabic you must add other popular native langs . unless you only suffice it to add only Official language of the country (Persian) and most popular native of the city.
