Languages of the Middle East

This subcat should be reserved to sites discussing languages belonging to more than one family that are spoken, or used to be spoken, in the Middle East (today's Iran, and all parts of Asia to the west and/or southwest of Iran, including Anatolia and adjacent islands) as well as in Egypt and other parts of the Nile valley. If the languages discussed extend to Central Asia, the Caucasus or parts of Africa outside the Nile valley, this subcat should no longer be considered appropriate.
