Category:Shina language

Please add the Gilgiti, Astori and Chilasi dialects to the "other names". Also, the Drasi subdialect of Astori should be noted because the Devanagari spelling is based on it. See [1] Ethnologue.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but for those using the Country Flags gadget, you could pick a flag from commons:Category:Flags_of_Gilgit-Baltistan, since the majority of Shina (proper) speakers live in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Finally, I don't quite understand how "Proto-Dardic" can be the most recent ancestor, and at the same time a descendent of Sanskrit, if its another name for "Proto-Rigvedic" -- it sounds anachronistic to me. We should have "Proto-Shina(ic)" ([2]) as most recent common ancestor of Shina proper and other languages like Kohistani Shina. Mention should also be made of Ghandari Prakrit somewhere.

Thank you Mar1Qh 19:33, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

@Mar1Qh: What is this "Proto-Rigvedic"? We have "Proto-Indo-Aryan" which is the ancestor of all Old-Indo-Aryan dialects (including Vedic Sanskrit). Proto-Dardic is whatever unattested Middle-Indo-Aryan language existed as a predecessor to the Dardic languages. Chances are it is indeed related closely to Gandhari Prakrit (you spelled it wrong btw, we do have entries for it). I agree we need a "Proto-Shina", I'll make the rest of the changes you suggested. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 16:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

@AryamanA: Thank you for the changes. "Proto-Rigvedic" is given as an alternate name here: Category:Proto-Dardic language. Sorry for that typo. Of course it's Gandhari. --Mar1Qh 18:34, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Edit

@Vahagn Petrosyan: Please add this code in sdh language:

	translit_module = "sdh-translit",
	entry_name = {
            from = {u(0x0650), u(0x0652)},
            to   = {}} ,

Thanks.--Calak (talk) 11:31, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Shouldn't zlw-opl (Old Polish) be an ancestor of szl (Silesian)?

How do we change that? Kevlar67 (talk) 23:34, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Sheko (she)

Omotic, not Hmongic. — Julia ☺ ☆ 02:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Looks like She (shx) and Sheko (she) were mixed up. Should be:

m["she"] = {
	"Sheko",
	"Q3183355",
	"omv",
}

m["shx"] = {
	"She",
	"Q2605689",
	"hmx",
	otherNames = {"Ho Ne", "Ho Nte"},
}

Saraiki

Can someone please add Module:pa-Arab-translit as the transliteration module for Saraiki (skr), as I've updated it to include Saraiki letters, and should work as expected now?
-Taimoor Ahmed^{(گل بات؟)} 09:40, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

@Taimoorahmed11: A transliteration module for the Multani script similar to Module:Mahj-translit is probably feasible … so in that case, Module:translit-redirect would be the transliteration module entered here, and Module:pa-Arab-translit would be entered as the Arabic script transliteration module for Saraiki at Module:translit-redirect/data. Would that be okay instead? Kutchkutch (talk) 18:46, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

@Kutchkutch: Yes that would be fine too, if not better, since it will allow for other scripts to work as well, Thanks!

Sranan Tongo (srn)

@Mahagaja Hi, I noticed that in this diff you removed English as an ancestor of Sranan Tongo and was wondering what the reason was; to the best of my knowledge, the status of English as lexifier of Sranan is still widely agreed upon in current research, for instance here. Is it that I'm missing some more recent research on the subject? Or is it a matter of Sranan being a creole and not a 'proper' descendant of English? In the latter case, it might be worth making further changes, as we seem to list English as an ancestor of all other English-based creoles, including Sranan's close relatives Saramaccan (srm) and Aukan (djk). Do we want to go through and unlink the many creoles that list their lexifiers as ancestors? The only discussions on the subject I've been able to find seem to have been inconclusive beyond deciding to use {{der}} rather than {{inh}} in etymology templates (as also described at WT:ASRN), so I'm not sure what the policy is here (and maybe I'm wading into a wider morass than I intended), but for consistency's sake it seems strange/undesirable to have Sranan Tongo as the only creole unlinked to its lexifier. Any thoughts? — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 14:29, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Vorziblix: See Wiktionary:About Sranan Tongo#Etymology sections, which summarizes a discussion at Wiktionary:Beer parlour/2019/February#English-based creoles of Suriname arriving at the consensus not to consider ST words as having been inherited from English. There doesn't seem to be a consensus, however, that creole languages in general are not inherited from their lexifiers (Haitian Creole words are said to be inherited from French), but that was the consensus reached for ST. You can open a new discussion at the Beer Parlour if you have new arguments to bring; consensus can change over 5 years. —Mahāgaja · talk 15:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
