Rename?[edit]

Shouldn't this be changed to something like "Grammarians of Jewish languages"? I hardly think that (for example) grammarians of English should be singled out by their ethnic or religious affiliation. - Jmabel| Talk 00:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seemed natural enough, to go with sister categories by occupation (eg Category:Jewish poets) within Category:Jews, but you may have a point. Certainly this is the only case where ethnic affiliation makes sense within Category:Grammarians, but that needn't necessarily necessitate its renaming. Could have Category:Grammarians of Hebrew to go with this one, though the contents would be identical?User|Neddyseagoon 12:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably they would not be identical: there are plenty of Jewish languages besides Hebrew, most prominently Yiddish and Ladino. See Jewish languages. - Jmabel| Talk 06:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also just noticed that Aaron ben Asher was added to this category. I think it should just be "Hebrew Grammarians" or best: "Grammarians of Hebrew". Scholars of different Jewish languages can have a separate category. Dovi 18:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hm, I also think this should be renamed to "Medieval Hebrew grammarians". Modern grammarians of Hebrew should go under Category:Hebraists. Grammarians of any sort who just happen to he Jewish, well, I'm not sure we need a category for these any more than "brown-haired grammarians" or "cat-owning grammarians" ones. --dab (𒁳) 17:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Separate categories for Grammarians of Yiddish / Hebrew[edit]

Have separated out Grammarians of Yiddish / Hebrew. Have left the Jewish grammarian category alone so some are double entered. Category seems a bit odd though In ictu oculi (talk) 17:42, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
