Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Wiktionary:Mingrelian transliteration

You added Mingrelian Transliteration 1984 and Mingrelian Transliteration 1930 to this. What are they? Vahag (talk) 17:29, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

ii Mingrellaz (talk) 17:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

linguist sometimes use different variants which are sometimes not understood by the general public, so everyone should know that, mingrelian and laz languages belong to the zan language group, so use the generally accepted transaction Mingrellaz (talk) 18:08, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand what you're saying. Where are the Mingrelian Transliteration 1984 system and the Mingrelian Transliteration 1930 system defined and used? I have never seen Mingrelian transliterated like that. Vahag (talk) 18:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

1984 was created for the Zan language. And this model is used by the Laz language for newspapers, school textbooks and press for many years, and this model is also used by the Mingrelian English-Megrelian Language Dictionary, Tatoeba, Glosbe and other online dictionaries, as well as by some linguists Mingrellaz (talk) 19:26, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Here are many transliteration models that use the Laz language.The Mingrelian language uses the same. Mingrelian and Laz were one language a few years ago, scholars call both languages together - Zan language

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Laz_transliteration Mingrellaz (talk) 19:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

We do not recognize a Zan language on Wiktionary. Only Laz (code lzz) and Mingrelian (code xmf). There is a considerable Laz corpus in the Latin script. There are books, dictionaries and newspapers, Twitter and Facebook posts. But on Wiktionary, Laz should be entered in the Georgian script. To help people convert from Latin to Georgian I have made the chart at WT:LZZ TR.

No such corpus exists for Mingrelian. The online resources you are referring to are not serious, should not be relied upon, and no chart for converting them into Georgian is necessary. Accordingly, I will remove your additions. Vahag (talk) 15:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Of course, that's your opinion and I respect it. You can add or delete what you think based on your personal opinion. But here is the second issue related to Mingrelian transliteration, it is a real fact and it is already a standard. Others would know about it, I just don't understand why it should be artificially blocked. Mingrellaz (talk) 16:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Because you made up that transliteration system. I have been working on Mingrelian with your relative User:კვარია for over two years, and have never seen Mingrelian transltirated like that. Vahag (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

This is not my invention or creation, it is a model created by scholars of the Mingrelian and Laz language. Years will pass and you will see that I was right. I wish you good luck. I wish you success in your work. Mingrellaz (talk) 18:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
