Ich kann Dich leider bei Deinem Projekt unterstützen, da ich selbst kein Saterfriesisch spreche. Ich halte das Projekt an sich auch für keine gute Idee: #Es gibt ungefähr 2000 Sprecher. Wie viele von ihnen sind Internet-Nutzer? Wie viele von ihnen verwenden die Sprache schriftlich? Wie viele von ihnen würden überhaupt Beiträge leisten? Eine Enzyklopädie ist ein Mammut-Projekt. #Sprachliche Minderheiten reagieren oft empfindlich, wenn ihnen Projekte zur Rettung/Förderung ihrer Sprache von außerhalb vorgesetzt werden - eine solche Initiative sollte von der Sprechergemeinschaft selbst ausgehen. Nur dann können wir sicher sein, dass es genug Interesse und Unterstützung dafür gibt. Dies ist u.a. der Grund, warum es immer noch keine Wikipedia auf Sorbisch gibt. #Ich weiß nicht einmal, ob es überhaupt eine schriftliche Form (standardisierte Orthographie usw.) des Saterfriesischen gibt. #Zur Unterstützung der Sprache wäre es vielleicht angebrachter, ein Wörterbuch oder ein Lehrbuch zu schreiben, oder an einer standardisierten Grammatik und Rechtschreibung zu arbeiten (Wikibooks?). Wenn Du Leute finden willst, wende Dich am besten an den Interfriesischen Rat, sie haben auch eine Sektion und Kontaktperson für das Saterfriesische.

[[User:Bhumiya|Bhumiya]] 10:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC) == Slang lists == I came across your subpage of toilet slang by accident using Google. I found it very amusing. It caught my attention because it suffered the same fate as two other slang lists which got axed or buried recently. List of body parts slang and [[List of sexual slang]]. The latter survived 2 AfDs, but then the sysadmin who had nominated it for deletion moved it without consensus and "cleaned it up" by blanking the list from the article. After a brief reversion war, the sysadmin protected the article. But the complete list still exists in the history (look for "revert blanking") and the source can be cut and pasted. As for the List of body parts slang, I saved a copy to disk. If you are interested in acquiring it, let me know. I saw how you defended the toilet slang list on AfD, and on your subpage, so I thought you might be interested in news about the other lists. Cheers. [[User:Go for it!|Go for it!]] 14:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC) :Thanks for your information. Glad to see my subpage still serves a kind of a goal :-).

[[User:Dougg|Dougg]] 11:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC) :It is beleived to be extinct, as the text says, and I don't challenge that. But the language box entry for "language extinction" requires a moment in history when the language actually died out. Since it seems unknown when the last native speaker died, I changed the "no native speakers" message to "no known". [[User:Caesarion|Caesarion]] 11:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC) Okay, thanks, I wasn't aware that the language box entry was to be used in that way. I guess I'll put in a date, then. I don't see where the text says it's believed to be extinct, unless you're talking about the Ethnologue entry (don't trust Ethnologue too much), but perhaps I should add something to that effect. [[User:Dougg|Dougg]] 04:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC) == Ancient greek consecutio modorum == Hi and thanks for dropping by, well, h0nstly i don't understand what is complicated about it, understood that the last version i worte was a bit.... well not english word order i might say, but now i think it is ok.Please say what i should change or improve in order to augment understandability of that text. --[[User:Philx|Philx]] 23:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC) == Userboxes == Hi! I saw your vote on the anti-fasc. Userbox debate, "Delete all user boxes except for very few." I totally agree with you. I think people are fighting too much about the boxes, and I think other than the Language boxes, and maybe Location boxes, they should be eliminated. I have a suggestion for a replacement - [[User:Nhprman/Userinterestlist|User Interest Lists]]. They are easy to make and you can certainly still use Language-related Userboxes, by placing them on top of, or below, the lists. I would value your opinion on them, and if you used the idea, I'd be very flattered! Also, I like your idea for language reform. I was able to read it PERFECTLY. Some people say Frisian has similiarites to Old English and I notice you participate in that Wiki, too. Does Frisian have any resemblance to modern English? [[User:Nhprman|Nhprman]] 04:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC) :Hi Nhprman, thanks for your message. Nice to find someone holding the same opinion towards those user boxes. On the Dutch Wikipedia, we have a single user box template which can be filled ad random by the user who places it on his page. Now about (West) Frisian. I'm afraid that 1300 years of separation have made it better mutually intelligible with Dutch than with modern English. CLoser inspection however still betrays the common linguistic heritage. Compare Fri. ''swiet'' with English ''sweet'' and Dutch ''zoet''. Likewise, a key is called a ''kaai'' in Frisian and a ''sleutel'' (cf. German ''Schlüßel'') in Dutch. The plural of ''ko'' ("cow") is ''kij'', which is similar to the archaic English ''kine''. However, the resemblance between modern English and modern West Frisian ends about here: some comparable sound shifts, some lexical similarity and a (very) few morphological correspondences. [[User:Caesarion|Caesarion]] 12:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC) ::Thank you for this explanation on Frisian! How interesting that these similiarties existed. I wish you luck on the alternative English language project. Others have certainly tried to make it easier to write and more logical, but have failed, maybe because the words simply look too strange to the modern eye. [[User:Nhprman|Nhprman]] 02:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC) ==Not in Europe?== Of course, you're right - I had added some placenames incorrectly - mea culpa. However, your global deletion removed legitimate entries which now need to be restored. I had also added a note to the talk page acknowledging the error and asking for info before I did the correct deletions.

Most Dravidian languages were influenced by the Indic languages, and some of them quite deeply. However, that doesn't permit us to distinguish a seperate group within this language family. The classification is usually done in a family tree-like way, that is, languages beleived to have the same ancestor are grouped together. Sanskrit, however deep its influence may have been, can't be seen as an ancestor of Malayalam, and therefore "Sanskrit-influenced Dravidian languages" are no valid grouping in ''traditional'' classification.

Some stupid guy has given this stupid names to this languages, but it doesn't mean that they are two dialects of one language. They are different languages. It's impossible for a Western Lombard speaker to understand an Eastern Lombard speaking. In France two major languages are spoken: Occitan and Langue d'oil. If you list the Occitan dialects in parenthesis, why not so for Langue d'oil dialects? :Hi. First of all, why have this discussion on my talk page and not on the talk page of the Romance languages template? Then: the above is just your opinion. It will certainly be based on well-considered arguments in concord with your own observation, but someone who says otherwise is not automatically stupid. As you know, traditionally, the Lombard dialects are simply considered dialects of Italian just because they use Standard Italian as their prestige language. Now we are trying to describe Romance languages in a more linguistic way. The problem is that there is no fixed criterion for what is a language and what is not. You may find it absurd to consider Lombard one language, but you have no problem whatsoever in considering all oïl variants one language. Though some oïl variants, especially Walloon, are utterly untelligible with standard French. Just see the [[:wa:|Walloon Wikipedia]], you'll have a really hard time reading it, no matter how good your French may be. So if anything, in the template we should follow the consensus among linguists, and if most of them do not consider Western and Eastern Lombard separate languages, why should we suggest otherwise?

''pedagogical'' does not mean "education for children" as you suggested on the Navajo page. It's a more general term covering education to any kind of student. English words borrowed from other languages are not always semantically decompositional in the same way as in the loaning language if it is decompositional at all. So, whatever the roots meant in Latin is irrelevant to the meaning in English. And for this word I doubt that most native speakers can segment this word in to the Latin roots using their internal linguistic knowledge (of course they can if they have historical knowledge, but this is a different type of knowledge). anwway, just a note for fun. peace &ndash; [[User:Ish_ishwar|ishwar]] &nbsp;[[User_talk:Ish_ishwar|<small>(speak)</small>]] 05:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC) == Inglish speling == yu rayt: Inglish speling shud be rifôrmd rædikalli.

[[User:Steinbach|Steinbach]] ([[User talk:Steinbach#top|talk]]) 00:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC) == Nostratic == First - please watch your language, be civil. Second - the following is taken from [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]: <blockquote> {{policy shortcut|WP:CIRCULAR}} Articles and posts on Wikipedia, or on websites that [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks|mirror its content]], should not be used as sources, as this would amount to Wikipedia citing itself, a self-reference. As an exception, Wikipedia may be cited as a [[primary source]] (with caution) for information about itself, such as in articles about itself. Editors should be careful not to use sources that present material originating ''from'' Wikipedia to support that same material ''in'' Wikipedia, as this would create [[circular reference|circular sourcing]]&mdash;Wikipedia citing a source that derives its material from Wikipedia. </blockquote> Third: I fully agree that Nostratic is controversial, and that it would be cumbersome to cite sources in the Afroasiatic article to support that claim. But somebody has made that claim, and since it is contentious, it needs to be supported in that article by verifyable sources, not just by a reference to another Wikipedia article. I see from your edit history that you have a lot more experience on Wikipedia than I have, and that I don't really need to explain the rules to you, but rules they are. My suggestion to solve the problem is just to leave the claim in there that Pedersen included Afroasiatic in Nostratic (that claim is well supported), delete the claim on the controversial nature of Nostratic, maintain the link to the Nostratic article, and let everybody read up in there what discussion there is on Nostratic. But any person who insists on having the contentious claim in there that Nostratic is controversial also needs to accept that this claim needs to be referenced with reliable sources. I'm sure you know that. Fourth: I personally do not believe in the Nostratic Superfamily, but that is not the point here. [[User:Landroving Linguist|Landroving Linguist]] ([[User talk:Landroving Linguist|talk]]) 05:49, 4 March 2010 (UTC) :O, that's funny, I do... But if it bothers you there's no citation and you're a linguist, is it then such trouble to add those citations yourself? I mean, everybody just puts templates in everywhere, "this article doesn't this", "this article doesn't that", and in the end noone bothers to fix the matter. It would be a different thing if you weren't an expert on the matter, but as you clearly are one, who else but you is supposed to provide the citations needed? [[User:Steinbach|Steinbach]] ([[User talk:Steinbach#top|talk]]) 10:27, 4 March 2010 (UTC) ::Looks like your running a campaign against templates. Often someone who complains about the lack of a citation is not in a position to provide one - especially if the claim is doubtful. In that sense, the template is a polite reminder to the person submitting the claim to support it appropriately - or remove it. I understand Jimbo's idea in the sense that instead of putting up a template one should remove an unsupported claim right away - and not that it is ok to leave an unsupported claim without comment. But I really do believe in the polite way. Alas, often it does not work, and then I should be bold to remove the claim together with the template after an appropriate length of time. As for the matter at hand: I am a linguist, but with very little interest in historical linguistics, and not much knowledge. So I have nothing to contribute except my discomfort about an unsupported claim on the Nostratic hypothesis (actually, I think I did not put the template there, but I objected to removing it). When I say that I do not believe in the Nostratic Superfamily, that is also subject to my limited knowledge, and it will be fairly easy to convince me of the opposite, if someone provides convincing evidence to me. But what I really want to tell you is that you should reconsider your position on templates. I agree they make an article to appear more messy, but I think they serve an important purpose anyway, and they are a lot more polite than just removing a claim without warning.

Well, let's see. Your edit included: ::* a lengthy, completely irrelevant discussion of how confident Putin's supporters were and how insecure his critics sounded ::* the removal of a comparison with Stalin ::* the posting of a frame from an unapologetic piece of Putin glorification, without context whatsoever. While the picture is so stupid that it does indeed look like satire, it seems to be dead serious and part of Putin's cult of personality. At any rate, it's not a political joke so what other reason could you have for adding it? I think these three things are enough to identify your edit as pro-Putin propaganda. I will revert your putting it back, with or without the picture, and I will not discuss the matter further here. Any replies will remain unread.
