Proto-Indo-European Wikipedia

I saw your comment on Proto-Indo-European Wikipedia request... Are you on the subject?... are you a linguist, student or at least do you like this language? By the way, please write your support on the request, your support counts, Thank you! --Guillermo2149 (talk) 14:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

I am interested in the language, and I am more or less an autodidact when it comes to linguistics. P.I.E. is very interesting to study. -EggSalt (talk) 17:55, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nasal ingressive voiceless velar trill

The article Nasal ingressive voiceless velar trill has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Funny, and true when I think about it, but probably not a notable topic for this encyclopedia.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Cite Journal is rather hard to read, could you explain in short how to reference sources correctly? -EggSalt (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Name of Chechnja

The article Name of Chechnja has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

If cleaned up and properly referenced, the content could be included in Chechnya, but it does not warrant a stand-alone article.

Changes to Я romanization

I noticed you've changed the romanization of the cyrillic character Я from "ya" to "ja" in the Russia article. This seems to be inconsistent with how that character is romanized elsewhere on the encyclopedia (although I'm not by any means an expert) - any reason for this? Beige.librarian (talk) 23:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

I romanised Я as "Ja" for Scientific/Scholarly Transliteration because "Ja" is the most common type of transliteration. This transliteration was also used in the Sovjet Union and thus I only think it is natural to use Ja. Using "Ja" would also be similar to neighbouring Slavic Languages and would not look like someone went ham on an English Keyboard. Moreover, there are indeed some articles which use this transliteration. Have a nice day, -EggSalt (talk) 09:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Old Norse

Sorry to have to say this, but it would be well if you deleted the offer of translation to/from Old Norse from your user page and learned it thoroughly, grammar included, before you make such an offer again. Both "Hvalsey kirki" and "Vestrí Óbygðír" are quite ungrammatical and I imagine it would be sad even for yourself in the long run to be identified as a source of errors and mistranslations. 83.248.231.116 (talk) 23:20, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
