Descent[edit]
I think the tag German/de refers to New High German rather than German/Austrian/Swiss Standard High German. Thus, if Hunsrik is treated with a separate language tag, then DE is the proper parental language as Hunsriksch comes from a collection of post-medieval German dialects.

- Back in early 2015 your opinion may have been justified. But now we've divided the High German language area into a number of vernacular languages that get their own coverage (I think there are six of them). Hunsrik would be a descendant of (southern) Central Franconian. I'm putting the descendant tag to Kriech. Kolmiel (talk) 13:40, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- PS: The example sentence at kriich uses the definite article "tas" (rather than "*dat" or "*tat"), which would make it Rhine Franconian, but wikipedia says it's a Moselle Franconian dialect (and the poem given their indeed is). Maybe it's a mix of both. But let's treat it as Moselle Franconian for now based on the information given at wikipedia. Kolmiel (talk) 13:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- PPS: German Hunsrückisch seems to be two closely related dialects, one to be defined as Moselle Franconian (used by the woman on the wikipedia page) and one to be defined as Rhine Franconian (used by the man). The Brazilian version seems to be Rhine Franconian. But I'll leave it for now, since I don't know any details. Kolmiel (talk) 13:58, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you feel the need to tell me that something I said 1,5 years ago is now unjustified when you make an edit based on a policy change of whose discussion I was part of. But let me assure you that this is not necessary. Korn [kʰũːɘ̃n] (talk) 17:51, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Evidence for purported PGmc reconstruction?[edit]
The article doesn't cite anything but west Germanic examples. The initial K shouldn't exist in PGmc, due to Grimm's law. Kampf was a late borrowing from Latin, which explains its initial K. 108.48.94.155 22:06, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
