Request reason:

Anyhow, linking words to Persian or Armenian is NOT falsifying etymologies, because some of the Latin/German/Russian woords from which thery are derived ARE themselves cognate with certain words in those languages, because those languages are also Indo-European. LOOK IT UP! LOOK UP FOR EXAMPLE WHERE LATIN DUO COMES FROM! THE PROTO-INDO-EUROPEAN ROOT IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF PERSIAN "DO" AND SO ON! Another example: nova, which is from Latin novus, IS also related to persian "now!" Look up the other descendants of the Proto-Indo-European root and you'll find it! Don't deny it! As for non-Indo-European languages, Esperanto has been critcized for being too Indo-European, and I felt that including other words would help debunk that claim. And it's not "languages," but only ONE language: Esperanto! I was NOT doing this with other langauges, JUST ONE! If not, then at least keep the links to other Indo-European langauges, because Wiktionary acknowledges that the PIE roots are also the source of similar words in these langauges! For example: Look up nova, then novus, then PIE *newos, then look at the list of descendants.

You changed an entry so it said that an Esperanto pronoun was "from" Yoruba, which is nonsense- Esperanto draws mostly from European languages. In some cases there are multiple possible sources, so we note a few of the most likely not everything that might theoretically be possible in some alternate reality. For a single CV syllable with a consonant that's found in virtually every language, the sheer number of languages makes coincidental occurrence here and there in universal parts of speech such as pronouns almost inevitable. Besides which, being a cognate of a possible source for a borrowing wouldn't merit mentioning anyway- we would end up with etymologies the size of a phone book, and about as readable.

Nonetheless, The Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages are related to Persian, Armenian, Sanskrit, etc., because they are also Indo-European. 47.227.221.222 18:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
