oomis: I agree with you that both havaros are acceptable, in fact you are the one accusing Ashkenazi havara of being less authentic. However it is simply not true that Sefardi havara is the pure form of Lashon HaKodesh spoken by the Avos, it was certainly influenced by the local Arabic just as Ashkenazic havara was influenced by German, Hungarian, Russian etc. Also your comparison to English is inaccurate. Ashkenazim did not split off of Sefardim, both diverged from eachother.
