Adam's Genealogy : A handbook

The differences in opinion in the genealogy for some references are to the manner in which the information was presented orally prior to its writing. It is interesting that the version presented by the Islamic sources is far more data-oriented when compared to the views of Orientalists like Cornelli...

This is because even though it shows differences in pronunciation or writing, these changes simply represent the evolution of the language itself without changing the original identity and grammar of the language. This is because the most significant aspect of Arab identity is the language even though it came in different dialects. Thus, the basic nature of a certain language must come from the same parent language; even though it has gone through many centuries of evolutionary processes, or even if it came from different places but is still within the framework of the original land, it will still belong to the same language family.
