Sign language?
editWhere does sign language fit in to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.146.248.109 (talk • contribs) 08:46, 13 November 2006
- I was wondering that... It doesn't seem listed at [1]; I'm guessing it's considered a communication method rather than a language, kind of like speaking and writing. I'd also be curious to know how many people live in completely non-English speaking households. Though I guess if they didn't speak English, they'd have a hard time filling out the census form... --85.5.207.213 (talk) 19:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Spanish Creole
editThere is no Spanisch Creole in the Unite States. Just Chavacano in the Philippines and Palenquero in Colombia. Not even Haquetía/Ladino in Morocco, Israel and Turkey could be considered Creole but dialect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.120.238.24 (talk) 18:29, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Categorization
editSome of these lumped-together misc language categories are unclear to what they in/exclude. Notably it is difficult to discern which "other" languages comprise "other indic languages". Same with "other asian languages" which has a similar issue, and raises a similar problem that indic has with dravidian languages inasfar as what constitutes "asian".
Would it perhaps make more sense to have high-level breakdowns along some sort of linguistic "family"? I.E. Germanic -> German; Dutch; Afrikaans (as subheadings)? 128.62.138.95 (talk) 19:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
