wiki board edit

I want to ask you can I add in a wiki board such thing.

The board look like this :

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
??? ??? ??? ???

And I want to add a information in this form

|| ??? [ipa] ||

Between two || ||

I suppose that it looks like "|| ??? (have to add something here but what ?)[ipa] ||"

Thanks hope you understand, because I speak french... email comment from User talk:Nemzag

I don’t understand what you are asking. What is a wiki board? Do you means a table? If so, where do you want to put the table, in your talk page? Sorry if I misunderstand what you are saying. —Stephen (Talk) 23:41, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well don't vorry, I'm sorry for my English, I would like to add info in two line (one under other), between two column (word with ipa pronunciation under)... And I'm asking how to do that using a SYMBOLE CODE or else. Hope you understand. Thanks for help anyway. Gmazdên 23:48, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I still don’t understand. Are you asking how to make a table? Or where to find IPA symbols? Do you mean how to make a two-column table? —Stephen (Talk) 00:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, no no, i'm asking how to add two line text (one under other ; word & with ipa) in one cell column of table... Like this...

Word

[ipa]

In onë cell of the column, two line (one under other)... Gmazdên 01:04, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, here is one possible example:
ping
/ˈpɪŋ/
—Stephen (Talk) 02:30, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Are you asking how to make line breaks? If so, it's <br>. --Yair rand (talk) 02:39, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Steven, i don't wan't use you method because i use a "wikitable sortable", so using a line like you do, would cause problem if I reorder... Yair Rand I tried your command...

king
[kɪŋ]
regula
[rɛgula]
queen

Has you can see it work, I tested in wikipedia and is functioning, how to align table vertically to have same position with one or two line text ??? Gmazdên 09:45, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Stephën, this is cell command, but for the whole board ? Gmazdên 00:27, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I’m afraid that I do not know enough about HTML to be able to tell you a vertical-align command that applies to the whole table. It is a difficult subject for me. —Stephen (Talk) 02:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

NA [na] & NË [nə] or NÊ [nɛ], UNË & UNÊ edit

Hello, (mister 151.21.71.106) you replaced etymology by your version, please keep info added by others (respect the works of those who spend their own time to complete info), add content, don't erase.

Macedonian Shqiptar don't use but NA نا (TE NA, TE NENA ΑΘΗΝΑ [atʰɛna]), and I would like to explain that we are Muslim from 500 years now. So lot of words that we use came from the holy Coran, and albanian language use the arabian grammar (like plural using AT -اتand ËT at end of word)...

Në [nə] is modern dialectal version from Shqipëria / Albania, also some other cities uses NÊ [nɛ]...

NA came from arabic نا & Unê or Unë is deviated from arabic أنا or latin uniô & unus.

It's logical. Since we are Muslim (pacifist) (Albania is a member of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (Muslims comprise 33.3% of the population of Macedonia, Macedonia has the fourth-highest proportion of Muslims in Europe, after those of Kosovo (90%), Albania (70%), and Bosnia-Herzegovina (48%).[89] Most Muslims are Albanian, Turkish, or Roma, although some are Slavic Macedonian Muslims.)... Gmazdên 06:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

ÊNÊ & UNÊ are more equal & similar than your totally strange etymology explication (From Old Albanian u(I) followed from the particle - (na & nê in gheggian) ; compare ti and (dialectal) tinë.). And what does ti & tinë means ? Gmazdên 06:22, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

If you use old albanian / latin, give source of your U meaning (i wan't to read that book, if its vladimir orel from Tel Aviv university, this book is based on reformed dialect and contains lots of errors, the Orel definition link to νή () & ναι (nai) who means screen & yes, what relation with Me or Us ? I checked there are no Arabian reference in this book), U means WAS and is used with U KAN (mk : he was / sq : ka qenë) again arabic term كان (kān), He & I are not the same. You don't have profile, you speak albanian but do you speak arabian ? I also noticed that you just erase content of other by adding fake source (like for zot & mbret), so if you add something keep others contributions or one day, someone else, would delete your add...

Unê | Unë Etymology edit

From Old Albanian u (“I”) followed from the particle -; compare and tënë. Deviation of أنا (’ana, I), from نا (na, us, we).

This etymology is confusing and needs a lot of work. It gives two different sources for unë, either from u+në or from Arabic أنا. Also, there is no explanation of tinë. Tinë has to be explained, and the two different sources have to be resolved somehow. —Stephen (Talk) 02:01, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Let me explain something :
First I never eard someone using U in daily life communication but UN [un] (I, Me, One 1=I, Unique, Unus )... I never eared about TINË (your) but only TËNË→TËNDË (sq) / TANË [tɑn] (mk) !!! (I have eared TI (you) in some dialectal song, but for TINË).
Don't confound NA/NÊ (US) with the -NË [nə] (word extension) remplaced by reform by -RË [ɾə] like TINË (mk) → TIRË (sq) "your", ATYNË (mk) → ATYRË (sq) "those", EMËN (mk) → EMËR (sq) "NOMÊN : name", FEMËN (mk) → FEMËR (sq) "femina : woman".
We (macedonian, kosova alabanian) differentiate the NË / RË extension (generaly end of word) with the نا (na, us) NÊ [nɛ] (we) NA [na] (us) & أنا (’ana, I) UNÊ [unɛ] UNUS) that the Reformed albanian don't distinguishes, Gheggatë use more vowel than Toskian (nazal [ĩ, ɛ̃, ɑ̃, ɔ̃, ỹ, ũ]), standard [e, ɑ] & [ɒ] (persian sound).
Your combination (ti "you" & ti+në "your" & u : ??? & unë : "I", "Me") is false, cause "My" in Scipio is IM [im] / IÊM [jɛm] and not in our UN case : UNNË (mk:[un+nə]) / UNRË (sq:[un+ɾə]) :
("You") TI → ("Your") TI+NË ≠ U+NË because "I") is not "MY" who is IM (sq) / JÊM (mk) and NOT UNËNË / UNÊNË.
  • UNÊ/UNË is "singular I" (from uno, unus, unique, 1=I),
  • TI/TÊ/TË is "you singular" and became "your singular" if you add add NË/NÊ(mk) | RË/RÊ (sq) at end (TINË→TIRË KËTYRËVE (sq), TANË KTYNËVÊ (mk)), so if TI+NË = "your" the combination of UNË/UNÊ "I singular" would be UNËNË/UNÊNË : "my" but we use IM / JÊM [jɛm] and not UNËNË / UNÊNË. UNË & UNÊ is not combined form but an original word (arabic)
  • NA/NÊ/NË is "Us, We plural" ("TE NA" : among us : from ΑΘΗΝΑ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΣ (OuRANOS) = Quran القُرْآن
    ΑΘΗΝΑ [atʰɛna] TE NENA [te nena] to great mother) ; NA & ANA in Arab exist since 630, much older than you modern 1400 books...
Prove that NA & ANA/ÊNÊ - UNA/UNÊ is from arabic origin. Gmazdên 02:23, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Continuation edit

It is very difficult to understand what you are saying. First, no, I don’t know of any Albanian admins, Gheg or Tosk. You might ask at sq:Diskutim:Faqja Kryesore and at w:sq:Diskutim:Faqja Kryesore.
I am trying to understand you. I changed the above etymology to reflect some of what you said, but there is still the unacceptable confusion about an origin from Old Albanian (as above) or from Arabic, or even from Latin (which you mentioned down below somewhere). There is only one path, there cannot be two different paths. Are you saying that nobody knows how unë evolved, and that these are three possibilities? —Stephen (Talk) 02:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Listen Arabian are Ruman Army : Bismila Al-Rêmên Al-Rêyim Al-Rumi (the noble רום | روم)... Arabian Alabanian are linked to latin, and some word are used in latin & arab look criminel and جرم [grim] or aequitas [ɛqwita] & حق [ɛq], these word are related, the erroneous pronunciation divide (sect). In egypt ج (j) [ʤ] is [g]. Well I don't know but NA ("us") is NA & not NË ; UNË ("I") is a complete word and not a combination since my is IM / JÊM, and you "TË" became your when "TË+NË", UN+NË (my) don't exist, also UNË is not "my" but "I" and it's not a combination of U+NË who should means "my" if TË+NË is "your" !!!

I prefer to wait for a gheggian admin, cause the sq page use the reformed dialect, and I prefer to don't use this one... Hope someone make a ghegian/mk/kosova Wiktionary page. Gmazdên 03:24, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don’t think we are ever going to be able to communicate well enough to go forward from here. The above etymology is essentially what you had in your edit here, but now you seem to be saying that it was all wrong. I can’t figure out what you are proposing for an etymology. —Stephen (Talk) 03:26, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks that you try to understand, but I prefer to wait for gheggian admin and a gheggian wiktionary page, I don't like to use SQ one cause it's use falsificated version of Tosk (greek shqip : orthodox), I just say don't believe the reference from Vladimir Orel (Tel Aviv), using an hypothetical invented old albanian, based on a falsificated version of Tosk (some word are writed in the two version, but lot of word don't show variation), also this book use for reference old book from german, italian, slavic but no Arab, Persian, Hindu (tzigane, roma, ashkali) or Turkish source, all these people tried to conquer Albania in 1914-18 and 1940-45, since 500 years the gheggian language has evolved and we use lot of word from lot of foreign language (persian, turkish, arabic, slavic, latin this make richness of shqip : Etymology). So please prohibite use of this book has valid source for original gheggian shqip etymology... That's all. Gmazdên 03:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

About some Albanian word like hypje (up : υψος (ypsos) / ὑπέρ (hupér) [ʰyps·os / ʰyp·er], p148 : "Albanian Etymological Dictionary"), is a gheggian language from Macedonia & Kosovo (adopted in media instead of Enver Hoxha dialect) and who is distinct from reformed Albanian based on Tosk (orthodox where Ypsilon (Old Ellêniqa) became Ipsilon (Modern Greek : 3 [i] ita, ipsilon, iota) and C/Qoppa [q] C/Gamma [g] (O.E) became Kappa [k] or Ghamma [ɣ] [(M.G), it's the reason why albanian use K for sound c/q [q] & k [k], where other Latin language use c like prefix com- ; I noticed that Beobach checked and reverted some of my add (perun, hypi (mk / ks) / hipi (sq) : is there a tool to know all if his reverting on my contribution ?), it's not nice, since those word exist & are true. You use falsificated dictionary based on toskian & reformed shqip, you don't know the gheggian language & there is no gheggian admin to confirm my add... So please be tolerant, I'm conscious that I'm just a student who try to add some content for all world, perhaps i'm make mistake, but just be more comprehensive and positive upon me and improve not remove. I have been blocked one month by dictator like Ivan Štambuk (for telling that obedience is عبد / عباد) or reverted by Vahag (mbret / zot) using book writed by Vladimir Orel (Israel, Tel Aviv), but I keep in mind that 10 years ago Serbian Orthodox / Slavic Communist take pleasure to exterminate my people & falsificate our language in 1947 after victory against the National Socialist... Thanks to be more open-minded toward other (respect article 19 of U.N.O Universal Human Rights), if this Wiktionary is just about political interest I will not add any more entries, since I just lose my time if someone else remove my add...

For Etymology I propose to keep the link to أنا (’ana / êne, I), to remove the comparaison of TI & TINË & TË & TËNDË, since i proved is false in my explication, to remove U, and Keep Un, from Latin Unus, Uno, Unique (I, 1, Unë Ênê) & NA نا (na, us, we) and not NË who was end of word replaced by RË (in 1947 to divide & confuse comprehension between latin language)... And I proved to you using some latin exemple (EMËN (mk) → EMËR (sq) (NOMÊN : name), FEMËN (mk) → FEMËR (sq) (femina : woman) that these are falsification. I believe the source, not the deviation...

Unë & Unê ([Omnipaedista] edit

Hi, why do you not keep the arabian link of unê ??? Why do you believe a book from Slavic Israeli ? Instead of opinion of Albanian Muslim ? I don't understand. This book is fake and don't use it for my land etymology, because, it's the communist anti-imperialist who falsified albanian rômanian words (1947 Enver Hoxha (אנור / أنۋر)), and this book is made upon the falsificated dialect that they try to impose by trickery to all, I checked in, there is no arabian reference inside... So please stop remove my contribution using this false reference, also you don't speak shqip or arab (Albania is a member of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference). Thanks Gmazdên 00:26, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Macedonian Shqiptar don't use but NA نا (TE NA / TE NENA [te nena] ΑΘΗΝΑ [atʰɛna]), and I would like to explain that we are Muslim from 500 years now. So lot of words that we use came from the holy Coran, and albanian language use the arabian grammar (like plural using AT -اتand ËT at end of word)...

Në [nə] is modern dialectal version from Shqipëria / Albania, also some other cities uses NÊ [nɛ]...

NA came from arabic نا & Unê or Unë is deviated from arabic أنا or latin uniô & unus. Since 500 years the language has evolved so don't try to find etymology using only old albanian reference. Gmazdên 00:34, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Gmazdên 08:14, 27 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Inflected forms can be entered like preguntó and hombres. Electronic dictionaries and computer translating programs are full of errors and do a poor job. Many of the words or translations entered in them were done by uneducated people, people who don’t speak the language well, speakers of various dialects, and so on. Please do not bring anything from an electronic source. I don’t understand your question about coerator. Coerator is Old Latin (Archaic Latin), not the classical language. Coerator did not come from curator, since curator is classical and therefore more recent. —Stephen (Talk) 10:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm saying why do you not keep in etymology or related term of curator page, the word coerator. Does coera, procoerator & procoerator word exist ?. About, inflected form does your syntax function with Albanian words (any page link for syntax code) ? What book do you suggest then ? Do you know a good archaic latin & greek lexicon ? I would like that you add a function in wiktionary to list all word from a language (hope you added archaic Latin has a language), I searched this tool but I didn't find (for Old Ellêniqë). Gmazdên 20:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
It is not usual to link Classical Latin words to their Archaic predecessors. Coerator is not a different word, but just an older orthography. Classical Latin words are linked immediately to Proto-Indo-European if this is known, or to some non-Indo-European source if that is known. I don’t believe that procurator was used at all in Old Latin...that term only came about in the Classical language. Please forget about Old Latin. Old Latin is not important in modern etymologies and is only of passing interest to students specializing in the Latin language. Until you know Latin at a level of at least Babel-3, you should not concern yourself with Archaic Latin and you should not be entering those words, especially if you don’t know how to decline them and don’t know which vowels are long and which short.
Archaic Latic is not considered a separate language, it has the same language code as Classical Latin, i.e., la. As to Albanian inflected forms, yes, the syntax functions with that. If an Albanian noun form is in the plural, it works just like hombres, except you use sq instead of es. —Stephen (Talk) 00:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Can I re add laj to synonym of pastroj page ??? I checked para and in etymology he would be usefull to add παράς (parás). In qen, somehone remove my information, can you re add since it's more complete : "deviated to çan (still used in Xhakova, Kosova) then çen (still used in Gheggian dialect) and reformed (1947) in Albania by the communist power to qen."

I was never able to understand what you were saying, and you wanted to wait for a Gheg admin. I didn’t correct unë because of this...I don’t know how to correct it. You should drop the subject of Vladimir, nobody here knows anything about him. You are the only person who ever mentions his name. We have no idea who he is and we do not know his book.
There are print dictionaries that list archaic words, but I do not know of anything online. There is no ISO code for Old Latin (appropriate since Old Latin is not very important). The ISO language code for Gheg Albanian is aln, and Tosk is als, so Gheg words can be added under the language name Gheg using the language code aln. It is possible to make a Gheg Wikipedia and/or a Gheg Wiktionary, but it requires a lot of work. You would have to translate all of the wiki terms into Gheg, such as My talk, My preferences, My watchlist, My contributions, Log out, Page, Discussion, View source, History, Watch, Toolbox, What links here, Related changes, Upload file, Special pages, Printable version, Permanent link, and thousands of other terms. It is a huge job and you really need at least three Gheg speakers to work on it together for many hours.
Yes, it is a good idea to add laj as a synonym of pastroj. I can’t add an etymology for qen because I don’t know the etymolgy, and I cannot understand what you wrote about it. If we can’t understand your etymology, then of course someone will remove it, because it serves no purpose if it makes to sense to anyone. —Stephen (Talk) 12:31, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Stephën, it's not me who mentioned his name but Ivan Stambuk in zot#Reference and Vahagn Petrosyan mbret#References, I searched who is this guy and I find it in Wikipedia. And the etymology used in unë is from his (300$) book p.486 , it's why I'm talking about him, still I proved is explication is false, cause he use +1400AD reference book, but Shemitic Ana/Ênê and Old Latin Unus are more older than Hypothetical Old Albanian (Formula e Pagëzimit (1462), Fjalori i Arnold Fon Harfit (1497), Perikopeja e Ungjillit të Pashkës ( fundi i sh.XV-fillimi sh.XVI)), first albanian language never existed since we speak shqip (scipio latin), the name of this nation exist since Society of Nation created it in, when Ottoman empire collapsed after 1918, before we were Rumelia, and before Byzantine & before Ellêno-Macedonian, the Turkish term of Turkey is false to, cause they are not Altaic/Asiatic people like Turkistan but white Caucasian/Persian...
I writed in Etymology of qen, that in Macedonia we use çên [ʧɛn], and in Xhakova a city of Kosovo they use çan [ʧan]. So the deviation of word from the root is Canus → çan [ʧan] → çên [ʧɛn] → qên (sq[ʨɛn]).
To create the wiki gheg, we should perhaps first make a excel word list with toskian, gheggian, dialectal & root. And after create a program that convert automatically the toskian word in gheggian using the excel database (xml or else), I searched for such list, or a extracting tool to get term list from a an electronic albanian dictionary like Lingvosoft or Office (star or microsoft), but I didn't find it. I'm not programmer but I can help for the word I know, I will talk to my cousin who are teacher in Macedonia to check the complete term list, if 50 person help me, we each can correct 1000 word. Perhaps we need first to create a SQL / XML page to list the word (tosk, dialect, gheg & root, add variant in and then make an automatic translation from albanian wiki to gheg. I can't do all alone, I'm not rich I have to work to win money. I add word because, I don't have job actually, so I have time, but complete a wiki need a team of people more knowledgeable than me, my mother can help me because she was teacher, but she don't know how to use computer and how to program in Wiki Code. I'm from Belgium, and I don't know all word, and I don't know all variant from all gheggian city, the best would be to get list of term of each city from messenger communication and compare automatically difference, and then propose a corrected version based upon source and etymology, but for that we need a programmer and I'm not one.

"Deviation of word from the root" doesn’t make sense in English. There isn’t anything written there that I can understand or use.
If you are talking about a Gheg Wikipedia, you have to start in the incubator (Main Page). You’ll need to translate all of the wiki terms, messages, warning, guidelines, etc., before you will be able to leave the incubator. After that, you can start writing or translating articles in Gheg. If you want to make a Gheg Wiktionary, you have to apply here. I’m afraid I don’t know anything about SQL, XML or other program applications. —Stephen (Talk) 13:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

No, but the etymology must be logical and correctly formatted and entered in understandable English. That’s the problem, we have no way of understanding what the etymology should be, so we can’t write a logical, understandable etymology. —Stephen (Talk) 23:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don’t know anything about Vladimir Orel, but I am not competent to judge or edit the etymology. —Stephen (Talk) 10:09, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I propose this Etymology : From Latin unus (un·us, one), uno (un·ɔ, single), cognate with Arabic أنا (’ana, I), Hebrew אני (ani, I) & Latin unicus (uniq·us, only, singular, one and no more). Gmazdên 10:37, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Those look like cognates, not etymons. It might be cognate with either the Latin word or the Arabic word (but not both, since there is no evidence that the Latin and Arabic are related at all). It looks like a lot of guessing and very little solid evidence. —Stephen (Talk) 10:45, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Still you keep Vladimir Ethymology and there is no prove that is correct since he link the word to Greek yes & screen (I said before he don't use Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hindu book in his reference)... Shqip (Scipio Latin) has a lot of word with Latin root, and I believe that Semitic I (ANA/ANI) have same structure than UNÊ (Vowel+N+Extension), but has you know A is singular vowel in Arabic & U plural. I would like to add my etymology, I will not remove the Vlad one, but I would like to be sure that my add would no be reverte, I explained to you with word crimen & جرم that arab & latin are related... If you don't like etymology word : "cognate with" with what should I replace then ? Gmazdên 10:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I didn’t write it, so I don’t keep it. It was written by someone else and kept by someone else. If it is wrong, then it is a blemish on the reputation of the one who wrote it. I am not competent to edit it one way or the other. Please stop mentioning Vladimir, it makes you sound neurotic. I do not know who Vladimir is and I have never seen his book.
You have to forget about this etymology until you learn English better and until you find concrete evidence. Until then, if it is wrong, then it is on the one who wrote it.
There are a small number of words that Latin borrowed from Arabic, and a few that Arabic borrowed from Latin. Other than those few borrowings, Latin and Arabic are not related whatsoever. I know all about the Nostratic theory, but no one has ever found one bit of evidence in support of it. Any such genetic relationship was more than 40,000 years ago, and languages have changed so much since then that it is impossible to prove a genetic connection.
As I said, I am not competent to edit this etymology. I will not edit this etymology. Please drop the subject and move on to something new. —Stephen (Talk) 11:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

About Albanian etymology, when I check English word etymology (like peace the wiki team allow definition with "related to", "akin to", "cognate with", so why do you (Admins) not allow for UNÊ (Unus or Anus ? أنا (’ana, I), אני (ani, I))...

I don’t see anything wrong with {{l|aln|word}} or {{l|als|word}}. The only problem is that there is no Gheg or Tosk language section on the word page. If there were, then they would work. There are many, many errors here with words in the languages that I speak, including English. It does not bother me in the least. Your fixation appears to be a pathological obsession and you should try to control yourself and let this drop. Your life will be much happier if you learn to let go of such petty things. Ana did not become unus. This is well understood in linguistics, and the subject to too complex to discuss in a small paragraph here. You need to take a linguistics course at university for two to four years, then you will understand.
This is my FINAL word on this matter. I will not reply to any other question about the etymology of unë. I am finished with it, the matter is dead. It is an ex-matter. —Stephen (Talk) 23:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Ok, thanks for response (still you didn't tell me if Omnipaedista is admin), I will search an Gheggian Admin for the une case. Thanks for your help. Last question before I drop the subject, what word should I use then to link Ana/Ênê to definition : From Latin unus (un·us, one), uno (un·ɔ, single) unicus (uniq·us, only, singular, one and no more), look like Arabic أنا (’ana, I), Hebrew אני (ani, I).

IPA gheggian k [q or k] anmik edit

Hi, I speak Albanian, and I'm sure that the gheggian K is pronounced [q], they are some word where we use [k], but for anmik is [q]... In Gheggian (K have two pronunciation [q & k]) Thanks

Read This I explain why C/Q Ellênika became K in Byzantinë...

The Q in Albania became [ʨ], because qoppa [q] ancient value 100 became Tshima value 100 Ϭ/ϭ in Coptic numerology, writed in Cyrillic Ҁ/ҁК/кЌ/ќ...

The value 90 is not Qoppa but San I also believe that the value 90 in modern Greek shaped Ϟ/ϟ is a variant of San Ϻ ϻ [ʂ / ʦ] and not of the qoppa Ϙ/ϙ [q], in Greek a variant form of qoppa exist and look like the Cyril one... Gmazdên 12:51, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for correcting me, I hate making mistakes. In Gheg is the letter q still [tɕ]?

Thanks for you add, to tell you truth I don't know the sound [c], but I believe that [c & ʨ] are same sound Ћћ / Ćć in Serbian and Ќ/ќ in Macedonian. The GJ is [ɟ] Ѓѓ Macedonian, [ʑ] is a sound that I don't know, but Serbian use in Ђђ / Đđ [dʑ]. Gmazdên 14:45, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Two more questions: First one is, are you sure it's [q] (pronounced further back in the mouth), or [c] (palatal, pronounced close to the front)? I notice you mentioned a comparison to Ќ, which is palatal in Macedonian (I think [c]).
Second question, in Gheg are the forms anmiq, anmiku and anmiqtë correct? — [ R·I·C ] opiaterein14:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I speak arab and I know difference between Kaf/Kappa & Qaf/Qoppa, and in Skopje, we use [q] sound, some word use [k], but for this one i'm sur is [q] & not [k], because in old latin C is [g / q], like Caius → Gaius & Pecunia → Pequnia Reference. I mention Ќ, cause i explain that Qoppa became Tshima and in modern macedonian there is no Qoppa Ҁҁ but only Кк that variate has Ќќ.

I never eard these form, but perhaps other city use it, in Skopje we use anmik, they are 47 dialect in all Shqipëri. Gmazdên 14:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's albanian, but realy deviated one. To tell the truth French, Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish, Rumanian, Albanian are all Latin deviation. But the Tosk, is realy deformed variant of Gheg & Latin. I noticed that S became SH, TH became T, PR became MBR. In french -θɪɔn became -sɪɔn and in English -ʃɪɔn , based on letter Þþ [ʃo] who is [ʃ] in greek and [θ] in latin. Other exemple, the Latin G [ʒ] became [ʤ] in English.

Tosk are more Greek (Orthodox) than Latin (Roman Catholic), but still they are Shqiptar and first earthling so we are brother. To tell the truth (truni) Shqip has a lot of word from Greek, Latin, Persian, Arab, Slavic, Hindu and others, therefore, it's interesting language made of a lot of source, this make his richness.

Also friend is not ANMIKI (inimicus : who means enemy) but MIKI (amicus), or SHOÇI/SHOQI, we use JÊM (Gheg) and not IM (tosk), also we use ÇIKY [ʧiky] and not KY [ky] ([Exemple], KY exist in Gheg to, but for this sentence, ÇIKY/QIKY is more correct...

I think it would be wise to start putting Gheg under its own L2 header, so that there will be ==Albanian== and ==Gheg Albanian==. As far as I'm aware, there's only [ɛ] in Standard Albanian and Tosk, and it would be a hassle to try to treat all three dialects under one header.

On the Albanian language pages such as Albanian language, it indicates [dɛɾə]. Gheg has many more vowels than Tosk: Gheg Albanian. Nobody is insulting anybody. I am sure that he has found that pronunciation somewhere on Wikipedia. This is what I have been trying to explain to you for years. You are not responsible for the Albanian language or for any other language. You are only responsible for what you write. You do not have to be overly concerned about the mistakes that others make in a language that you know, but you must be absolutely vigilant about what you yourself write. The mistakes that others have made here have not harmed you in any way, but the mistakes that you yourself made have damaged your credibility, and that is why nobody wants to listen to you. You need to ease off the mistakes that others make, and you must make certain that you do not make mistakes in a language that you claim to know. You will lose the respect of other linguists very, very quickly, but it takes a long time indeed to regain their trust.
One thing that we have all learned is that being a native speaker of a language does not necessarily mean that one speaks the standard dialect using the standard pronunciation in an educated fashion. Our biggest headaches come from so-called native speakers who are uneducated in their language, or who left their land as a child and only remember how to talk like a child, or who have no experience in grammar and phonology. The fact that you are a native speaker of Albanian does not count as sufficient credentials. You have to be able to describe it without errors. Sometimes this means that you have to fix errors in the Wikipedia pages. It means that you have to be very careful about adding anything in other languages, such as Arabic. You made so many mistakes in Arabic in the beginning that now nobody wants to listen to you. It will take a long time to fix that, if it is even possible. —Stephen (Talk) 08:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ivan use for Shqip Slavic source (like those proposed by the book of Vladimir Orel, Russian Israeli from Tel Aviv University), I believe that Shqip have more ancient Greek, old Latin & Arabic/Persian/Ottoman root... Still has you know the Albanian language was reformed by Communist (Marx) who are Anti-Imperialist (Anti-Roman), because Roman Army destructed their temple in Jerusalem. It's the reason why they invented lot of erroneous etymology, that they try to confirm with help of book based on a falsified dialect that Enver Hoxha imposed in 1947, telling that albanian/shqiptar are from Illyrian or Pelagian origin, Instead of Roman Clan Scipio. Those theory are interesting, but has I know Illyrian were exterminated by Roman Empire and Pelagian under their (byzantine) control, may be some Shqip individuals have Illyrian, Pelagian or Slavic Origin or maybe caucasian, persian and even Hindu, but still for me the Old Roman & Old Greek source are more realistic. I don't know Ivan, but his name don't seem to be Shqip/Albanian, so I prefer ask someone of my nation for Sqiptar/Albanian stuff (Sqiptar clan are known in Molise since +400). Has you know the ancient Greek (-300) alphabet and modern Greek (+800) are really different phonologically, since Byzantine removed letter and changing value to confuse & divide people, since Cyrillic alphabet is based on modern Greek, the code is wrong and the phonetic value to, like Epsilon [e] becoming Êpsilon [ɛ], Hêta [ɛ] becoming HITA [i], or Ypsilon [y] becoming Ipsilon [i], modern slavic alphabet does not differentiate the [ɔ] with [o], the E [e] & Ê [ɛ], the T [t] & the TH [θ] and the k [k] with [q], they are misleaded, and so they induce others into error, because the alphabet is based upon falsification of origin, I gived you the original code above...

Check JorisvS insulting my people telling that derë [deɾ] (Door) is pronounced like Dêrr [dɛr] (pig) ? Has you know modern albanian (after 1945 war) use lot UND instead of UN in lot of word, who means dog in German, or nderoj (der : pig ?) instead of neroj (honor).

That sounds like a coincidence to me. You know "voda" is water in Russian, but vagina in Bengali. Is that insulting to Russians? How is zona in Hebrew more offensive to your people than to the Greeks? Some languages are offensive to themselves. In old Persian, aurat meant both "woman" and "imperfection". These days, it's considered a sexist word, but it's still used in Urdu. So I don't care if something was falsified by communists, I don't hate communists.

Also, I believe the new government of Albania will probably stop the Tosk utilisation, I proved with example that his a falsification of term.

Hi, first I would like to ask if you can add language in your user page, I noticed that you replaced IPA, I'm from Makedonia, and I'm sure we use [deɾ·ə], you replaced by [dɛr·ə] who mean pig derr, are you insulting my people ? Gmazdên 12:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, I'm not talking about anyone's dialect, but about the Standard. I know there are significant differences between the various Albanian varieties, does your native variety happen to be Gheg? I changed the phonetic brackets to phonemic slashes: from [der] to /dɛɾə/ (I didn't note then it also said [r], an alveolar trill, which is, I know, written <rr>, which someone else corrected). <e> is phonemically indicated /ɛ/ in Standard (Tosk) Albanian, but there is no contrast with [e], so (phonetic) [ɛ] and [e] are both (phonemic) /ɛ/.

I don't care about the Tosk dialect. Since a very small part of albanian speaker use this falsificated dialect, that Kosovo, Macedonian and Northern Shqip rejected & don't like. Pig [dɛr] & Door [deɾ], have nothing common. Are you albanian ? Gmazdên 13:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Maybe, but since 'Albanian' will be interpreted as referring to the Standard (thus Tosk), mixing Gheg messes things up IMO (given the differences). Given the big differences between the varieties of Albanian, I will not object to a separate Gheg Albanian entry (like at zôjë), even when alongside a (Standard) Albanian entry (quite opposite to Serbo-Croatian, see my contributions). However, I don't know about other editors, they might oppose/undo such an addition, so this might require a fair amount of discussion. --JorisvS 14:09, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

She is teacher and I'm sure of Gheg pronunciation, so your Greek Toskian dialect, it's not interesting me at all since is a falsificated dialect invented and imposed in 1947 by a dictator...

As I said above. Please try to read carefully what I say (maybe look up words here or there, I notice your English isn't perfect, so you might miss some things of what I'm saying). The thing with [r] was just a human error (and I'm glad someone else did notice and correct it). I'm not stopping you to add Gheg at derë or anywhere else, but I am saying we shouldn't mix things up. Also, realize I'm not correcting you. In fact, I would encourage speakers of Gheg to use their language instead of slowly assimilating to Tosk. --JorisvS 14:38, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

In response to that I've said that it doesn't matter IMO. In the beginning I've said why I changed the (phoneTic) [e] to phoneMic /ɛ/, because that's kind of the convention for Tosk, at least the one I've seen. (Do you know what the difference between a phonetic and a phonemic transcription is?) I realize Gheg makes a phonemic distinction between /e/ and /ɛ/ (well, at least now I do), but as I edited it with Tosk in mind that isn't really very important (well, maybe to you it is; you edit them with only your native Gheg in mind? Then this is what I mean when I say "we shouldn't mix these up"). --JorisvS 16:41, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

If you look at the box of en-3, it says "This user is able to contribute with an advanced level of English", emphasis on "contribute" by me.

We don’t have problems with fake users. Almost all users are unknown, so fake is meaningless. When necessary, we can use a "check-user" program that finds the location of a contributor, even an anonymous one. Many people insist on maintaining anonymity and would not contribute anything if their real identity were known. Some users who allow their identity to be known have been stalked by a cyberbully, with severe consequences in their real lives. In fact, it is advisable that the contributors here and on Wikipedia keep their identities a closed secret, in order to avoid being stalked by a cyberbully. —Stephen (Talk) 13:29, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don't talk about user, but contributor, for some case you ask to apply rules, add sources & references, so I believes that using real identity for contributors will prevent some vandalism, and will impose contributor to be more precise & conscious.

No, each project must be in line with the WikiMedia image and provide real value to the organization. WikiMedia owns each project and no editor or admin has any rights of propriety over any project or any page. I know that it is your dream to have your own personal wiki, but that is impossible under WikiMedia. The only way you can do it is to create your own website. You can find wiki software for free at http://sourceforge.net. That is the only way you can do what you have in mind. —Stephen (Talk) 06:57, 10 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think it’s an application or program, not just a tool. Anyway, I suppose you should search for anything on SourceForge that has "wiki" in the name. Either you must know about programming or you will need to find a programmer to install it and set it up. I know nothing about it since I am not a programmer. There is an army of programmers that work for WikiMedia Foundation that work very hard to keep the Wikipedias and Wiktionaries up and running correctly, so I imagine that it is very complex. —Stephen (Talk) 07:27, 12 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

kuptôj IPA edit

emailed: when adding this form in etymology : {{etyl|la|sq}} {{term|computo|tr=gomputô|lang=la}}

I would like to replace "tr=" by IPA how to do ? Thanks Gmazdên

You can’t do it like that. First, the "tr=" is for transcription of non-Roman scripts into Roman script. That is, it is for Cyrillic, Arabic, Armenian, Japanese, etc., but it is not intended for Latin, German, French, or Albanian. Second, we use IPA for the pronunciation (in the pronunciation section of an entry, under the header Pronunciation), we don’t use it in etymologies. So, that Latin etymology form can only be this way: {{etyl|la|sq}} {{term|computo|lang=la}}. —Stephen (Talk) 17:17, 17 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

kokë by JorisvS edit

I noticed that you replaced the pronunciation of kokë [qɔq] by kokë [kɔkə], you are diminishing variety of sound of Gheg people (we use nasal, uvular plosive, [e]), yes there is uvular in Gheg albanian because we use sound Qaf of the Quran like the Arab, I'm Gheg muslim, I'm not a tosk orthodox, using only kappa instead of removed Qoppa...

IPA edit

emailed: I added word (urroj) and Dick Laurent, replaced [ɪ] by [j], I prefer to use [ɪ] because it's better for English user who read J has [ʤ]... Also he removed the separation [·] that I use to differentiate word extension like :

- [ur·ɔɪ]
- [ur·ɔva]
- [ur·aɾ]

http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=urroj&action=historysubmit&diff=11934771&oldid=11932951
What do you suggest ? I noticed that some user use [.] or ['], I prefer [·]... Gmazdên

IPA is a precise system that is not open to user preference. IPA [j] is always like English <y>, never like [ʤ]. [j] cannot be a separate vowel, it makes up part of a diphthong: aj, oj, ja, jo. IPA [ɪ] is a separate vowel (like the short ‘i’ of Dutch ik or English bit) and it does not produce a diphthong. Your hypothetical *urɔɪ has three syllables: u-rɔ-ɪ; on the other hand, urɔj has only two syllables: u-rɔj.
IPA does not use <·> for anything. The symbol ˈ means that the following syllable bears the word’s primary word-stress. It is not a separator, but a stress marker. The optional dot (.) is used to demarcate syllables. In the Albanian word urroj, there are only two syllables, and in IPA the syllables are marked like this: [u.rɔj]. If the word stress is on the ‘u’, then you can write [ˈu.rɔj]; however, if the stress is on the ultimate syllable, they you would write [uˈrɔj]. French words do not really have a stress, so stress is not marked in French. In Hungarian and Czech, the stress is always on the first syllable.
These symbols are not a matter of user preference, they each have a special and unique use in IPA, and no other symbols can be substituted. If you substitute [ɪ] for [j], or <·> for <.>, then it is not IPA. —Stephen (Talk) 04:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I listened the IPA, and I confounded the sound [ɪ] with [j]. I corrected my mistake. About [.] [·] the position of [·] look better. I separate the term at extension level, example interior (latin) /in·ter·jor/ or /com·put·ɔ/. May be everybody have his own pronunciation. I use Ô [ɔ] at end of verb because in Ancient Greek the verb extension is -ιζω [izɔ] / -ω [ɔ] and ָה [ɔ] in Hebrew, so I'm sure that in old Latin they used [ɔ] for verb ending like albanian use -ÔJ [ɔj] from -IÔ [jɔ], since noun use -O [o] & -OS/-US [os]. Gmazdên 08:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

IPA does not permit substitution of standard symbols, so "looks better" is irrelevant. [·] is not a permitted symbol, only [.] is allowed. And [.] cannot separate morphemes (extension level), but only syllables: [u.rɔj], [inˈte.rjor]. As I said, if you use [·] for anything, or if you separate morphemes (extension level) with [.], then it is not IPA. —Stephen (Talk) 09:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I used [·] for Latin extension & prefix, like com-, prae-, in-, im-, di- / dis- de-, re-... You suggest me to use [.] but really I don't like his appearance, it's not nice... What sign to use for prefix then ? In my point of view I use [·] to separate prefix·root·extension. And [.] is for syllables not prefix or extension. Since you speak Arabian, you know what I means by root (3 Semitics letters Combination) between prefix & extension (a, ô, iô, ia, atiô, -ens/-entis, -ins/-intis, -ans/-antis, -emens/-ementis...). Gmazdên 12:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

In the IPA pronunciation, nothing special is needed for prefixes or suffixes. The pronunciation section is not the place to worry about affixes and roots. In the word president, pre- is a prefix (it means "sitting before"). British and American syllables are often different, so for the British, write /ˈpɹɛ.zɨd.ənt/; for American, /ˈpɹɛz.ɨ.dɛnt/. It does not matter if the appearance is not nice, it is correct. Any IPA with [·] is not permitted.
In the etymology section, it is a different story. In the etymology, we don’t use IPA, but we do recognize prefixes and suffixes. For prefixes, we have {{prefix|sesqui|pedalian|t1=one and a half|t2=of the foot}}; for suffixes, {{suffix|sesquipedalian|ism}}: sesqui- (one and a half) +‎ pedalian (of the foot). —Stephen (Talk) 13:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

May be I invented the merging of IPA & Etymology by separating prefix & extension. One day, all will say I'm right to separate in IPA the prefix... What sign you suggest, since [ˈ] is stress & [.] syllable. Gmazdên 13:54, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

You can use [ˈ], [.], or nothing. It is correct to write [u.rɔj], [urɔj], /u.rɔj/ or /urɔj/. However, place the marks only between syllables...if a prefix or a suffix does not make an independent and complete syllable, then you can’t mark it. Prefixes and suffixes are addressed in the etymology. It would be helpful to mark the stress using [ˈ], but not mandatory. Linguists have been using IPA for years already, and nobody has ever suggested that your invention is right. Nobody will accept it and it would only lead to more trouble. —Stephen (Talk) 14:02, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I don’t understand what you are doing with the [ˈ] mark. That mark is for the primary word stress, nothing else. You have indicated that Albanian pronounces "ab-SO-lut" (every other European language pronounces it either "ab-so-LUT" or "AB-so-lut"). Is it really true that Albanian says "ab-SO-lut"? Then you have "ab-SO-lu-TISHT", with two primary stresses. Some of the edits you made indicate that there are three or more primary word stresses. I do not believe this is possible in any human language.
Besides that, many of the stress marks are in the wrong position (assuming that they are stressing the correct vowel). The stress mark precedes the stressed syllable, not just the vowel. I suspect that you are making a bunch of serious errors and that we will either have to find another Albanian speaker to fix them, or we will have to revert everything. I am certain that you are using the stress mark incorrectly...but what is it that you are trying to do with it? —Stephen (Talk) 16:49, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
You put [abˈsɔɾbˈɔj]. I believe that you are using the stress mark to delineate prefixes and suffixes, and that you are not using it to show stress at all. If this is true, everything you are doing will have to be reverted. If you are doing that, stop it before you make our job much bigger. If you cannot edit according to the rules, then please do not edit. You are making a big mess. —Stephen (Talk) 17:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I asked you before, about separating prefix, you don't know what IPA standard sign to use. If this stress mark is a problem, then let me use [·], if it's not good to, I will not use [ˈ] or [.] and keep it in form of absɔɾbɔj, but I would like to separate the prefix in the IPA, I'm not expert of all sign of IPA like you... I added {etyl|??|sq} in word to list them in [[1]]. Nobody else has done before, and someone (albanian) need to do it. Explain me where I'm mistaking, I will learn and improve my add. Why to reverse, just correct error. Gmazdên 17:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I will try one more time. Si vous pouvez lire un peu de grec, vous savez que le grec utilise les marques d’accentuation sur les syllabes accentuées: αγρονόμος, αγρυπνία, αγρόκτημα, αγρότης, αγρότισσα, αγχολυτικό, αγωγή. L’accent grec marque la syllabe accentuée. En IPA, ce sont environ ainsi : /a.ɣroˈno.mos/, /a.ɣripˈni.a/, /aˈɣro.kti.ma/, /aˈɣro.tis/, /aˈɣro.ti.sa/, /aŋ.xo.li.tiˈko/, /a.ɣoˈji/. La marque d’accentuation [ˈ] précède la syllabe contenant la voyelle accentuée.
En arabe, كتب est prononcée /ˈkæ.tæ.bæ/ (l’accent sur la première syllabe). أتان est prononcée /ʡæˈtæːn/. كسّر est prononcée /ˈkæ.sːæ.ræ/. La marque d’accentuation [ˈ] précède la syllabe accentuée dans chaque cas.
Vous pouvez utiliser la marque d’accentuation [ˈ] (pour marquer la syllabe accentuée, c’est-à-dire la syllabe soulignée) ou la marque des syllabes [.] ((pour marquer les autres syllabes), ou ne pas mettre n’importe quelle marque. I suspect that absorboj should be pronounced /abˈsɔɾ.bɔj/ (l’accent sur l’avant-dernière), but I am not sure. But I do know that what you wrote is wrong. If you do not want to put the stress mark at the beginning of the stressed syllable, and if you don’t want to put [.] between the other syllables, then don’t do use either mark at all. Just write /absɔɾbɔj/. Those are the only three choices you have. All of those marks that you put in will have to be removed because they are all incorrect. If you cannot place the marks properly, then please go back and removed all of them. Leave it as /absɔɾbɔj/ and edit all of the other words the same way. It is better to have no marks than to have wrong marks. —Stephen (Talk) 18:13, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

You right, our world dictionary must be precise & correct, I checked wikipedia page and it's seems that it would be better to use [.] (syllable separation). For prefix, I hope that one day IPA group will allow [·]... I will correct my add, but not now cause I'm tired. Thanks for you explication & patience with me. To summarize, Stress Mark [ˈ] is Accentuation & [ˌ] Attenuation... I learn more every day. Gmazdên 18:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

[ˈ] s’agit de la syllabe la plus pondérée; [ˌ] s’agit de la syllabe moyenne pondérée (ou l’accent secondaire). Toutes les autres syllabes sont légeres. La plupart des langues n’a pas cette syllabe moyenne pondérée, mais seulement une syllabe plus pondérée et toutes les autres légères. En anglais, l’accent secondaire est très important, et beaucoup de mots anglais ont un accent primaire (la plus pondérée) ainsi que d’un accent secondaire (moyenne pondérée): encyclopedia = /ɪnˌsaɪ.kləˈpi.diə/. La seconde syllabe est moyenne pondérée, tandis que la quatrième syllabe est la plus pondérée. —Stephen (Talk) 19:32, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

If they all mean the same thing, to arrive, then I would put them under synonyms.

Well I readed etymology in the Book of Vladimir Borel, and he explain that mbërrij (tosk) is deviation of arrij (latin : arrivô), in Skopje, we & me use mrrij (Gheg)... Has I said before Tosk is falsification of Latin & Ottoman (by adding or changing consonant or by changing phonetic : n→nd, q/g→ng, j→nj, pr→mbr, b→br, g→gj, y→i, ê→i, ô→u, q→tsh, n→r), I hope you checked my add about variation of Gheg & Tosk term in wikipedia, the Shqip changed many time alphabet script, from Latin to Arabic (Ottoman), Greek & Cyrillic (Bulgarian & Slavic Empire), so errors & misspelling occurred...

I hope that a wiki bot will shown you a automated list of related word between Semitic & Rôman...

How I had this idea, well I'm writing a book, so I searched, and all Latin & Greek word use Semitic binary combination (two letter) to make new term... If you had studied the Coran, the Torah, the Purana (Sanskrit), the Greek, the Latin & the Shqip, like I did, you would understand, still it's my discovery & my work.

Kuptoj IPA Dick Laurent edit

Hi, read my talk with Stephen about IPA...

First thanks for correcting my error on [ɪ] & [j], I believed that [ɪ] was pronounced [j].

About Kuptoj, I use prefix-word-suffix separation and you use syllabic division, who is incorrect since everybody have his own pronunciation. I would like to asking you to don't change my IPA Gheg version, please. Like Stephen said to me, British & American have different IPA. Your IPA look like American in example President :

British /ˈpɹɛ.zɨd.ənt/ (Gmazdên)

American /ˈpɹɛz.ɨ.dɛnt/ (Dick Laurent)

The British is more correct, because they separate prefix, affix & suffix (extension). To better understand word assembling.

I noticed that you add for lot of word using GJ I.P.A [ɟʑ] don't need to add two letter it's [ɟ] alone... Gmazdên 22:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  1. IPA is pronunciation, phonology. Not morphology. The affixes are not important to that. Showing affixes is for ===Etymology===, not ===Pronunciation===.
  2. Albanian gj may be [ɟ] in some places, but I've never heard it pronounced such. I was so hellbent on finding this that I had a Hungarian listen to albanian words with gj and q, because her language actually has [ɟ], and she says it sounds very different from the sounds in Hungarian. So I'm going to use [ɟʑ], at least for Tosk. — [ R·I·C ] Laurent22:24, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

You say "I've never heard", where do heared those ? What city are you talking about, did you lived there ? I still believe that your syllabic separation is not ideal. It's a personal point of view, still the IPA pronunciation is the same, even if you use [kup.tɔj / kom.pu.tɔ] or [qupt.ɔj / gom.put.ɔ] (جمع / געם [gmo/gom] : with مع / עם [mo/om])... But for word structure representation, I still believe that prefix-word-suffix is better than binary syllabic sounds, if you use a IPA robot voice synthesiser, I'm sure that you will not ear difference in the pronunciation... I just downloaded some old movie from Albania, and their pronunciations is realy different, they use only [a] & not [ɑ & ɒ], the Gheg & Tosk are really different phonetically, I still prefer my Skopje language more rich & with more sound.

If you want I send you a record of the pronunciation of Kuptoj Gheg & Tosk variant to check difference. About IPA, this is not how they (Tosk) pronounce. But how it should be perfectly pronounced, by respecting the source, prefix, root, etymology and original ancestral letter value, if a word is from Greek and use omicron [o] instead of ômega [ɔ] you should then use [o] & not [ɔ] in Shqip, like biologji, if the word use Epsilon, like energji, don't use [ɛ] but [e], and for Arabic, we should look at a Arabic Script Albanian Dictionary of Ottoman Era, for the [q] & the [k]... Also Krijoj (Tosk) from latin crêô is misspelling caused by usage of Greek Script, where Ancient Ellêniqë ϘΡΗΩ / CRÊÔ [qrɛ.ɔ] became Modern Greek κρηω / krio [kri.o]. So alternative form deviation of Gheg version is caused by utilisation of translation of Modern Greek Script to Latin script by Tosk who don't use ancient phonetic value of Ancient Ellêniqë Attic. Like Hypje & Hipje, krypë & Kripë or Hydro & Hidro and so on... Do you know an ancient Shqip (before 1945) dictionary using Greek script ?

Your English level edit

I am bothering you with this again. I have asked you to reduce your indicated English level to en-2, and you have refused. I am asking you again to reduce your English level at least to en-2; if you decide to reduce it to en-1, that is okay with me and quite possibly accurate. From what I have seen, your stating your level as en-3 is highly inaccurate. Several native English speakers had repeatedly difficulties understanding what you were saying on-wiki. Your English vocabulary seems rather rich, but your grammar and sentence structure makes it hard to understand what you are saying, although not impossible with some additional effort. While I admit that your stated English level is a minor issue to complain about, you should learn that accuracy matters, and the place where you can start learning that is at your indicated English level. So please reduce your indicated English level at least to en-2, for the sake of accuracy. --Dan Polansky 09:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have explained above, that I understand at level 4 & Level 2 in grammar (2+4=6/2=3). But since I don't use English everyday cause I live in a French speaking country, I have forgotten some school teaching, and I don't listen west music (MTV) since I beginned to listen Hindu/Persian/Arabic & Balkanic music... Because you ask me continuously to correct my English Level, I will decrease to 2... Like that you will be happy. I can understand that I use another sentence structure/syntax than yours, probably Shqip or French like. I understand your focus on my Babel Level, but it's just informative, because some contributor don't show their level on their personal user page, so why are you such occupy about those optional level...

sound files edit

emailed: I have some misunderstanding with some people who don't believe me when I say that we use [q] or [e] & nasal in Gheg, so I thinked to record my pronunciation, to add next IPA Gheg word, I can record both Tosk & Gheg variant.

My question is, what format of sound should I use (wav, ogg, m4a, mono / stereo ?), and where shall I put those files and how to make the audio player link.

It's for derë, kokë and others ?

Audio IPA will help those who don't believe me, to comprehend what I'm talking about (nasal, uvular, e/ê, o/ô).

Use the ogg format. Upload the ogg files to the Commons. The link is made like this: {{audio|Sq-derë.ogg|derë}} or {{audio|Sq-gheg-derë.ogg|derë}}. —Stephen (Talk) 16:19, 24 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Tonos en grec ancien edit

emailed: Bonjour, vous m'avez expliqué l'accent IPA à partir du Grec, j'aimerais vous demandez quel est l'utilité de l'accent aigu & grave, l'esprit dur & leger, et le Tonos en grec ancien ?

Quel difference entre un yspilon & ypsilon tonos ? Nemzag

We believe (nobody knows for certain) that Ancient Greek was a tonal language, like Swedish or Chinese. The accent aigu in Ancient Greek indicated the high pitch (l’accent de hauteur) on short vowels, or a high and falling accent (élévé et la baisse) on long vowels or diphthongs; the accent grave indicated the low pitch (accent de faible hauteur). The accent grave was identical to having no accent. Ypsilon (υ) was pronounced like French ‘u’ in (deprecated template usage) du (à faible hauteur); ypsilon tonos (ύ) was like German ü in (deprecated template usage) über (accent de hauteur).
In Modern Greek, it is different. —Stephen (Talk) 13:42, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your explication but you don't don't explained Tonos, esprit doux & rude, may be you don't understand esprit rude / leger because in English it's called Psili & Dasia ; what difference between :

  • Όό Tonos (τόνος) : (high pitch / l’accent de hauteur)
  • Ὀὀ Psili (ψιλή spīritus lēnis = no h) : (unaspirated, no effect)
  • Ὁὁ Dasia (δασεία spiritus asper = English h) : (aspirated, pronounced ‘ho’ with English/German /h/)
  • Ὸὸ Varia (Βαρειά Grave) : low pitch (accent de faible hauteur). The accent grave was identical to having no accent.
  • Όό Oxia (οξεία Acute) : high pitch (l’accent de hauteur) on short vowels, or a high and falling accent (élévé et la baisse) on long vowels or diphthongs
  • Ὄὄ Psili Varia : (unaspirated, high pitch, = /ó/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)
  • Ὅὅ Psili Oxia : (aspirated, high pitch, = /hó/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)
  • Ὂὂ Dasia Varia : (unaspirated, low pitch, = /o/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)
  • Ὃὃ Dasia Oxia : (aspirated, low pitch, = /ho/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)

I readed that sometime Varia & Oxia are used for long vowel...

I asked you difference between Ypsilon, because I don't understand in Shqip : Contrary ὕψος / ὑπέρ / super & ὑπό, what difference ? Deviated in Shqip by (deprecated template usage) hypje (ʰypjê) < ὕψος / ὑπέρ & (deprecated template usage) zhdrype (Zhdrypê) < ὑπό.

Also ὑπό & ἵππος are not the same, even if in modern Greek they are both pronounced with [i], I believe albanian Tosk misspelling in comparison to Gheg, is caused by use of Byzantine Greek letter value instead of ancient attic. Gmazdên 07:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

ὕψος = hýpsos (aspirated h, French ‘u’, high pitch on first syllable)
ὑπέρ = hypér (aspirated h, high pitch on second syllable)
ὑπό = hypó (aspirated h, high pitch on second syllable)
ἵππος = híppos (aspirated h, high pitch on first syllable) —Stephen (Talk) 08:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I believe you mistaking in Psili & Dasia above, you added unaspirated, aspirated, high & low, do you confound ? Because Psili is unaspirated & Dasia Aspirated. I don't understand...

  • Ὄὄ Psili Varia : (unaspirated, low pitch, = /o/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)
  • Ὅὅ Psili Oxia : (unaspirated, high pitch, = /hó/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)
  • Ὂὂ Dasia Varia : (aspirated, low pitch, = /o/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)
  • Ὃὃ Dasia Oxia : (aspirated, high pitch, = /hó/. Used only at the beginning of a word.)

About Hyper / Super & ὑπό, I'm not sure of pronunciation if it's [ʰuper super] & [ʰypo], or [ʰyper syper] & [ʰupo], from Latin supo & Albanian Hup [ʰup]. Devanagari also use aspirated and it's representation in IPA by [ʰ]. I will move the copyright section in sound section.... Gmazdên 08:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

No, Devanagari [ʰ] goes in combination with a preceding consonant: bʰ, tʰ, dʰ, etc. Ancient Greek h is like English h or German h: hyper, hypo, etc. —Stephen (Talk) 17:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

What is sc= in {{term ? Gmazdên 08:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

It means "script"...sc=Cyrl (Cyrillic), sc=Grek (Greek), sc=Arab (Arabic), etc. Albanian uses Roman script, so you do not need this parameter. —Stephen (Talk) 17:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

There is something that I don't understand, when you write ancient Ellêniqë, you use diacritics & minuscule, but when I check old stone inscription on intelnet (Archaeological discovery), they use capital and no diacritics ? How do you know what diacritics to use, because has I know, old library of Ellêniqa & Latin book have been burned at Alexandria, Roma & Others by Christians/Judah after conversion to avoid polytheism ; also I believe that you should use minuscule for modern greek & capital for ancient Ellêniqë, since the two system of writing are different phonetically. Gmazdên 12:39, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

In earlier Greek writing, there was no uppercase/lowercase, there was only one single form, which corresponds to modern capitals. Also, they did not use any diacritics or word spaces. As the Ancient Greeks practiced their new writing, they began to see a need to separate words somehow, either with dots or with spaces...that is how word spaces were invented. As they wrote more and more, the old capital forms became cumbersome and awkward to use all the time, so they began to modify some letterforms into a more fluent script, needing which made writing much easier and faster. That is how the minuscule letters were invented. At first, some of the old capital letters were included at the beginning of a text as a decoration, but ultimately it became useful to begin each new phrase with a capital letter followed by minuscules...this helped to show where sentences and thoughts began and ended. Soon, writers decided to emphasis certain special words such as names of people by starting with a capital letter, and then uppercase/lowercase and capitalization were invented. Also, there was confusion between many readings that were spelled the same way, but pronounced differently...so they began to invent various diacritics to show breathing, tone, etc. Around this time, they saw the usefulness of punctuation marks, so some of those were invented. So, over the centuries, the word spaces, minuscules, diacritics, and punctuation were gradually invented and added to the orthography. By the time the classical stories such as Homer’s Iliad were written, the orthography had all of these amenities. —Stephen (Talk) 13:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for you explication, but do you know a good source (in ancient greek) using qoppa, san, zampi, vigamma for root / source seeking ? I still think that for ancient ellêniqë term, the use of Capital would be more logical, in my point view, the Capital (-300) & Minuscule (+800) are different system of writing, even if Byzantine use the capital for the first letter of term & pronoun, in fact the very ancient Crêggellênë used epichoric alphabet, are this variant implemented in wiktionary ? Is there original book using this alphabet still existing in Museum or scanned ? You spoked to me about old Latin, do you know a good dictionary or book (in English or French) using or explaining this language ? Gmazdên 13:55, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

w:History of the Greek alphabet. It is not feasible to use all capitals for some Greek words. For centuries, capital script and minuscule script coexisted, depending on the author, writing material, etc. I am sure that you would find some good books on Ancient Greek at Amazon. —Stephen (Talk) 14:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Any titles, I'm not an expert like you, you seams to know old Latin and ancient Ellêniqa so perhaps you have some title, about what you said about Homer, the version that we use don't have qoppa, san, vigamma letter. I believe this version is a copy from Byzantine era. I'm not sure if the original still exist. What's the oldest copy that we have in scan ? Oldest book were writed in gold to prevent corrosion. But only the library of Vatican keep those variant, I know that when Roma was burned by Christian, those old book using ancient script & letters were melted, so I'm not sure if those modern copy are authentic.

Do you know about positive & negative, like (sp)êlia / σπηλιά (spiliá) (under) & y(ps)o / υψηλώς (ypsilós) (up) and (ps)y / ψυ or plysê / πλύση (plýsi) ? How was writed pure in Old Latin ? I think that [up] is negative in Latin & [pu] positive. Gmazdên 10:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

What's your suggestion about this ? Also English Ka (soul in Egyptian) in Hebrew it's writed with the Qaf and not Ka, so pronunciation is קה [qa], I don't know they write in Egyptian Arabic.

Acar edit

I believe that Acar was pronounced [a.qar] after sometime by changing alphabet from Greek to ottoman script and at last latin the C [q] became [ʦ]... So acar [a.qar] became [a.ʦar].
