I've had the page Bisharin tribe moved to Bishari tribe. In the reasons for the move, I gave the reason, & said I'd list contemporary academic sources that use either Bishari or the Beja spelling Bishaari. I have only listed sources in which "Bishari" or "Bishaari" occurs within English text: Not older grammars and dictionaries that note the autochthonous term. I have marked with an asterisk afterward works in which both "Bishari" and "Bishariyyin" appear.

There are, of course, many scholarly sources that use Bisharin. I believe that most of these are from the early 20th century or earlier, or are secondary sources working from those earlier materials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pathawi (talk • contribs) 16:09, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
