I think it's a combonation of factors that you mentioned. First being more formal, and second since Indy "left just when he was getting interesting", I don't think Sallah ever had the opportunity to meet Henry Sr. Also, if Henry and Indy were on non-speaking terms, I don't think Indy would've brought his father up in conversations with Sallah.

And it may also be the fact that Henry Sr. wasn't even a concept before Last Crusade. ;)

: I received this message from Joey:

: > In the Last Crusade when Indy is on the tank with his dad. Sallah comes
: > along on a horse and shouts to Henry "Jump to me, FATHER OF INDY".
: > Why does he call Henry Jones "Father of Indy" when hes known the Jones
: > family for ages???

: I have a couple theories, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

: 1. Non-native English speakers tend to use more formal grammar than native speakers.

: 2. Sallah may not even know Indy's full name, and I'm not sure if the question is correct that Sallah has known Henry Jones, Sr. before this adventure.

: 3. In times of crisis, people say odd things.

: Your thoughts?
