Help with Proto categories/templates
Ok, I guess I can try to have a look when I get a chance. Could you confirm this for me since I'm not sure: Should Proto-Malayic, given our current family structure, be fitting into Category:Sama-Bajaw languages?
Also, on an unrelated note, something weird seems to be up with some topic cats? I created parents/description templates for Category:Letters, symbols, and punctuation and Category:Symbols but for some reason Symbols cats aren't showing up as children of the former cat? I don't know if it's just some fuckery going on on my side alone (but I did clear my browser cache already) but I thought I should mention it. 50 Xylophone Players talk 14:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Can I give suggestions?
- Finno-Permic:
{{etyl:fiu-fpr}} - Malayic:
{{etyl:poz-mly}}
For the classification of Austronesian languages, refer to User:Liliana-60/Austronesian classification.
Sure, suggestions are welcome.
I'm sorry, but I think I'm missing something? I can't seem to see where "Malayic languages" fits in. Is it supposed to be somewhere within Austronesian?
Also, another slightly problematic case (for me at least) I came across: We have some entries listing "Iberian" in their etymologies. Now clearly Iberian was an existing language in the past according to WP, but we have no lang cat for it yet. We do however have {{xib}} to represent it. The problem I see is that on WP it's categorised both as an "unclassified language of Europe" and a "Paleo-Iberian" language. So what should we, Wiktionary, do? Is Paleo-Iberian languages category we should have?
Paleo-Iberian isn't really a language family, it just means 'pre-indo-european language of Iberia'. It is probably best to use qfa-und or qfa-iso as the family.
Ok, I've now created Category:Iberian language and the templates needed to back it up. I'm not so sure it's perfect though; I listed the script as Ibrn(Iberian) and made those templates, but if you look at wikipedia you can see there were like 3 writing systems. There was North and South Iberian (which actually, if I read it right, were two different reading systems of one script) and one other script...Greco-...something.
