In

m = {
	"Chaná",
	"Q5072718",
	"sai-crn",
	otherNames = {"Chana", "Sari"},
	scripts = Latn,
}

there is a mistake or false statement.

Chaná language is not known by a alternative name "Sari". None reliable sources have even mentioned this supposed name. English Wikipedia it's the cause of the widespread of this mistake. The only "source" which assign this term to chaná language is linguist list, but they wouldn't even know anything about this language neither direct sources about it, and I can say that because they've mistaken it as it would be an african language, when it is not. You can find some sources on chaná language here: w:es:Discusión:Lenguas_charrúas#Sobre_el_chaná. --Zerabat (talk) 22:40, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I fail to see how an alternative name that does not actually see use could be a problem (and it does account for LinguistList's confusion). We could remove it, though. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:49, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've removed it. Since there apparently are African languages called Sari, it's probably confusing to leave it in the list of alt names. I would've suggested leaving it as a -- commented-out note about Linguist List's use of it for any future users searching this site for "Sari" in connection with this language, but this discussion accomplishes that just as well. - -sche (discuss) 03:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please add the following constructed language. Some Ido words (such as partiso) are borrowed from Idiom Neutral, and it would be good if we could indicate this properly.

m = {
	"Idiom Neutral",
	"Q35847",
	"art",
	type = "appendix-constructed",
	scripts = Latn,
}

If we only need to cite it in etymologies, I think it'll be sufficient that I now added it as an etymology-only language under the code "und-idn". If you wanted to include entries in the language, even in the appendix space, I think that would need more input/approval, since we've tended to be much less inclusive of little-used / ISO-uncoded constructed languages than of natural languages. - -sche (discuss) 04:39, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

-sche is correct on all counts. You are welcome to create a discussion on adding it to the Appendix at the Beer parlour. As for the code, we've used art- for constructed languages in the past — is that something we should be avoiding, or is it listed in some standard? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:34, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

The corpus of the Gaulish language uses 3 different scripts: Latin, Greek and Etruscan. See this wikipedia page for more details.

Please, in "cel-gau" someone add "Ital" to the list of script in addition to "Latn" and "Grek". The line should read:

scripts = {"Latn", "Grek", "Ital"},

@Edo999: I see that the article you link to (w:Gaulish language § Inscriptions) mentions that the Etruscan alphabet is used by Lepontic, but Wiktionary distinguishes that from Gaulish, and the Lepontic language already has Italic in its list of scripts. And currently no Gaulish links use Italic script (search for "cel-gau" in User:Erutuon/scripts in link templates). I don't see Italic-script entries listed in Category:Gaulish lemmas either. So it's not clear to me that Gaulish needs Italic in its list of scripts. Does non-Lepontic Gaulish use Italic script? — Eru·tuon 14:35, 28 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Erutuon: Thank you for your comment. Yes, Cisalpine Gaulish uses Etruscan script. The page "Liste des inscriptions en gaulois" on French Wikipedia has Gaulish samples in the three different scripts (Etruscan, Greek and Latin). So do the literature about Gaulish language (I'm currently reading La langue gauloise by Pierre-Yves Lambert that has one chapter for inscriptions in each of the 3 scripts). Considering Lepontic as an early form of Gaulish or as a distinct Continental Celtic language is still a matter of debate. Either way, Gaulish (in the former hypothesis) and Cisalpine Gaulish (in the latter one) both have inscriptions in Etruscan. I hope that makes sense, let me know if not! — This unsigned comment was added by 185.45.4.4 (talk) at 16:03, 2 August 2019 (UTC).Reply

No scholarly source supports such a notion; the two languages were contemporaries. For more commentary, see Wiktionary:Beer parlour/2021/December#Catalan and its supposed descent from Old Occitan. Please change the ancestor of Old Catalan from "pro" (Old Occitan) to "la" (Latin). Nicodene (talk) 05:40, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Could someone automatically change "ᐧ" in alg-pro links to "·"? Some notable sources (e.g., Proto-Algonquian Online Dictionary) use this other symbol. I just noticed this after copying and pasting reconstructed forms to several entries. It is easy to overlook. 70.172.194.25 21:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

It seems like many of the names for the apabhramshas and prakrits are transliterated incorrectly. For example, all the apabhramsha names read as "Apabhramsa", which is incorrect. Similarly, names like Shauraseni read as "Sauraseni", which is also incorrect. All of these need to be fixed. Getsnoopy (talk) 18:58, 11 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, there is a lang-code called 'ta-mid' for Middle Tamil which has to be removed since it does not meet the required format specification for creating a lang-code, instead a new lang-code has to be created for Middle Tamil (dra-mta) like there is one for Middle Kannada (dra-mkn). 'dra-mta' has be made the ancestor of 'ta' (Tamil). And 'oty' (Old Tamil) has to be made the ancestor of 'dra-mta (Middle Tamil).' Emmanuel Asbon (talk) 15:54, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Change "Module:inc-mbn-translit" to "Module:bn-translit". Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 09:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Sbb1413 Are there any functional differences between the two, or is Module:inc-mbn-translit simply pointless duplication? Theknightwho (talk) 10:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Module:inc-mbn-translit is redundant as Module:bn-translit will work just well and the inherent vowels are also rendered quite well with some exceptions. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 10:22, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Sbb1413 Would it be worth making Module:inc-mbn-translit run Module:bn-translit as its first task? So that then all that needs to be specified are the things that are different. I did something similar with Module:Deva-as-Beng-translit, which effectively just modifies the result from Module:Deva-Beng-translit. Theknightwho (talk) 11:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Ivadon: From my experience, any reconstructions other than Proto-Highland East Cushitic are very tentative and often are not reconstructed well. This makes these codes pretty useless, because we won't create entries for these languages. Even Proto-Cushitic's creation was pretty controversial and iirc there was a bot job to remove any linked Proto-Cushitic term from the mainspace (although maybe it was just discussed, and I'm mixing things up).

Hello, the ancestor of the Azerbaijani language is not defined in Wiktionary, or rather it is defined as Old Anatolian Turkish, but this is too ancient an ancestor. For comparison, in the Turkish language the ancestor is indicated as the Ottoman language and then the old Anatolian Turkish, this is logical. But it turns out that modern Azerbaijani has no ancestor in the time intervals from the 15th to the beginning of the 1920s. However, historically, the ancestor of Azerbaijani was considered as Ajami Turkish (ajm-trk, "Turkish of Persia" and was language of Qajars, Afshars, Qizilbashs etc, it is also ancestor for Qashqayi, Iraqi Turkmen, Afshar, and Sonqori languages, also possible for Khorasani Turkish and Khalaji languages). I could write Azerbaijani articles written in the Abjad alphabet within this language so as not to encounter restrictions, but as I understand it is not possible at the moment - the problem is that the ancestor of the Turkish language is indicated - Ottoman Turkish, which was used until 1920s. This completely solves the problem in the case of the Turkish language. At the same time, there is no solution to this problem for the Azerbaijani language - the ancestor of the Azerbaijani language is indicated in wiktionary as Old Anatolian Turkish, which was used until the 14th century at the latest (and which is also the ancestor of Ottoman Turkish and Ajami Turkish). Please, create the language Category for this language Ajami Turkish (https://www.wikidata.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Q110812703) to make it ancestor it for Azerbaijani language and add it in this module. It will look like this: Azerbaijani language comes from Ajami Turkish (ajm-trk), which comes from Old Anatolian Turkish.
