Category:Translingual pronouns

Huh? --Yair rand (talk) 01:44, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

The translingual sections of Chinese characters do tend to function like a language, with full definitions and parts of speech. I find it confusing, but until that issue gets sorted out I feel we can't delete this. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:17, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

But we only have Translingual sections for single Chinese characters, not compounds. -- Prince Kassad 14:26, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I think a good solution for this would be to change 'translingual' for Chinese entries (which is simply too vague/confusing) to a more specific heading that more accurately describes what it really is. I think using the name of a language family or some other kind of descriptive group name would fit well. Perhaps even the name of the script? —CodeCat 15:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

We also have Category:Translingual adverbs, Category:Translingual adjectives and Category:Translingual verbs, all of which seem a bit odd. Codecat's solution doesn't seem better than what we have now. We need some like Tooironic/Jamesjiao/Atitarev to tell us what these actually are and why translingual is better than dividing into individual sections. I can see why a characters would be translingual, as the Latin letter a is the Latin letter a no matter where you are in the world, but extending that to verbs, pronouns, adverbs and adjectives seem much harder to comprehend.

Kept, no consensus, and no realistic chance of achieving one. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:52, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
