Missing ancestor for Baluchi

Baluchi (bal) should have the attribute line ancestors: {"ira-pro"},

Right now, the system claims Proto-Iranian is not an ancestor of Baluchi.

Request Change for bto

Can we change "bto" from "Iriga Bicolano" to "Rinconada Bikol"? Ethnologue and SIL labels bto as that. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:57, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Bikol Central Baybayin, accents and sortkey

m["bcl"] = {
	"Bikol Central",
	33284,
	"phi",
	"Latn, Tglg",
	translit = {Tglg = "bcl-translit"},
	override_translit = true,
	entry_name = {Latn = {remove_diacritics = c.grave .. c.acute .. c.circ}},
	standardChars = {
		Latn = "AaBbKkDdEeGgHhIiLlMmNnOoPpRrSsTtUuWwYy",
		c.punc
	},
	sort_key = {
		Latn = "tl-sortkey"
	},
}

@Kutchkutch add support for Baybayin (or Basahan) as script for Bikol Central in addition to Latin. Also adds sortkey to treat Ñ and NG as separate letters and automatic stripping of accents when accented Bikol Central is provided (as Bikol Central is generally not written with diacritics save tilde in Ñ which occurs mostly in proper nouns).

Classical Mongolian is not the ancestor of Buryat

Classical Mongolian had been once adopted as a written lingua franca by eastern Buryats. Although spelled with localised orthographic characteristics, this written language still followed its original Mongolian-proper grammatical/phonological rules, e.g. loss of nominative Middle Mongol -n (Classical Mongolian ᠠᠯᠲᠠ (alta) nom but Buryat алтан (altan) nom ‘gold’), or -dugar rather than -daki as the ordinal marking. Buryat, especially the standard Khori dialect, which is phonetically closer to Mongolian proper, still shares more grammatical similarities with Kalmyk/Oirat.

At this point, is Classical Mongolian even an ancestor to any living language? Nominkhana arslang (talk) 19:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nominkhana arslang Mongolian proper, possibly even Khamnigan. A point I was trying to explain is, some basic morphological features of living Buryat are obviously too ancient, compared to Classical Mongolian. Not every Mongolic dialect has such features.

• Middle Mongol: ᠤᠰᠤᠨ (usun)
  • Classical Mongolian: ᠤᠰᠤ (usu)
    • Khamnigan Mongol: усу (usu)
    • Mongolian:

      Mongolian script: ᠤᠰᠤ (usu)

      Cyrillic script: ус (us)

  • “Oiratic”: *usun (according to Дөрвн Өөрдин түүк the Buryats were once a member of the Four Oirats)
    • Buryat: уһан (uhan)
    • Written Oirat: ᡇᠰᡇᠨ (usun)
      • Kalmyk: усн (usn)
  • Daur: os (loss of oblique *-n: osi(g), osd, osi, oses, oser, osti, osche, osete)
