aas

Aasax is probably Cushitic (not Eastern Sudanic) according Wikipedia, Glottolog, and Ethnologue. I'd say either change it to Cushitic or leave it unclassified. – Gormflaith (talk) 13:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Maarten Mous confirms it's Southern Cushitic.  Done —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:30, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Proto-Great Andamanese

Please add Proto-Great Andamanese as the ancestor of A-Pucikwar, Aka-Bale, Aka-Bea, Aka-Bo, Aka-Cari, Aka-Jeru, Aka-Kede, Aka-Kol, and Aka-Kora.

@TheSensinator: First there needs to be a language code for Proto-Great Andamanese though. I'd like to ask for help from -sche or Mahagaja on this, because they are more experienced with creating language codes. — Eru·tuon 18:35, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

@Erutuon: Would gre-and-pro work? It's currently not used by any language and it most likely wouldn't conflict with any in the future. Should I message both -sche and Mahagaja about this? Just to certify that it would work as a code? — This unsigned comment was added by TheSensinator (talk • contribs) at 18:44, 11 October 2019 (UTC).

You don't need to message them; they'll get a notification because I linked to their user pages (see mw:Help:Notifications/Mention for more information). I'm not very experienced in creating language codes, so I'll let them answer your question. — Eru·tuon 18:56, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

@TheSensinator, Erutuon: The family code for the Andamanese languages as a whole is qfa-adm, but to judge from the Wikipedia article Andamanese languages, that term is actually a cover term for two unrelated families, Great Andamanese and Ongan. So I suggest we make "Great Andamanese" the canonical name for qfa-adm (in which case Proto-Great Andamanese will be qfa-adm-pro), and create a new code for the Ongan languages, such as qfa-ong. Any objections? —Mahāgaja · talk 07:49, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

@Mahagaja: Oh yeah, that looks right, since there are 8 other qfa- families that use the code plus -pro (one that removes qfa- and adds -pro: Hlai). — Eru·tuon 15:01, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

• OK, the canonical name of qfa-adm has been changed to "Great Andamanese languages", and the following codes have been created:

  qfa-adc – CAT:Central Great Andamanese languages

  qfa-adm-pro – CAT:Proto-Great Andamanese language

  qfa-adn – CAT:Northern Great Andamanese languages

  qfa-ads – CAT:Southern Great Andamanese languages

  qfa-ong – CAT:Ongan languages

  qfa-ong-pro – CAT:Proto-Ongan language

• TheSensinator, Proto-Great Andamanese doesn't have to be explicitly set as the ancestor of its descendants. Since they are listed as belonging to the Great Andamanese language family, the proto-language is automatically set as their ancestor. —Mahāgaja · talk 19:20, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Looks good (at a glance; I don't have time to look in depth), Mahagaja; thanks for taking care of this. Erutuon, if "lic" by itself isn't a valid family code then presumably "lic-pro" should be changed to "qfa-lic-pro" to agree with the family code ("lic-pro" might be my oversight/error, I'm not sure, I vaguely recall editing Hlai at some point). - -sche (discuss) 21:22, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

@-sche: Maybe lic-pro was derived from lic (Hlai language). Do you feel like doing the change (there don't seem to be many pages with the language code), or should I? — Eru·tuon 03:45, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

@Erutuon I believe I've changed all occurrences of "lic-pro" to "qfa-lic-pro" except in the contents and name of Module:lic-pron/documentation and Module:lic-pron/testcases. Could you change/rename those module pages as necessary, and check that nothing else needs fixing? I do not immediately have time to check what would break if I simply moved those two module pages. - -sche (discuss) 21:06, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

@-sche: I think Module:lic-pron is okay, because it relates to Hlai (lic). Am I missing something? — Eru·tuon 04:43, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Ah, you're right, good. - -sche (discuss) 14:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Script used Moroccan Arabic

Can you remove the Latn script from the Moroccan Arabic data? Thanks! Fenakhay ❯❯❯ Talk 01:23, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
