Talk:slayed

Tea room discussion
There seems to be different opinions on whether the regular inflection "slayed" exists. We are having the same discussion on sv:wikt; could someone please advise us? \Mike 10:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to point out that in it was not mentioned, whence follows that it is either a novelty or a hoax. But I am eager to hearken unto the opinion of some native speaker as well. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 10:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * One source which has been mentioned is this. Also, our own Appendix:English irregular verbs mentions it. \Mike 10:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Books have 527 hits for "he slayed", and having looked at a few of the first they refer to the "kill" sense. --Duncan 11:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * It's not in the OED, which suggests that the weak inflection is fairly rare, or fairly new. It's interesting, and the sort of thing Wiktionary should have a page on if we can find some nice citations for it...I don't think it's been well documented in any other dictionaries.  The practice of strong verbs becoming weak is, of course, extremely common in English.  Ƿidsiþ 11:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Has attracted coverage from various usage authorities, of which the MWDEU is (as usual) the most thoughtful and thorough. Basically, it is most common with the quasi-showbiz sense ("he slayed 'em tonight!"), which we didn't have until just now.  Have added usage note to this effect; please improve & expand. -- Visviva 11:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * (Man, I love that book. Ƿidsiþ 11:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC))
 * I am against everything which is absent from the OED. I would not add Template:rfd on the entry, but if some native speaker does, he can reckon with my support. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 11:33, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * It should go without saying that the OED does not have an entry for "slayed", as like every dictionary other than Wiktionary they do not have entries for mere inflected forms. On the other hand they do have one quote that uses "slayed", dated 1927 under the showbiz sense (5b). -- Visviva 11:39, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Wellaway... But since this form is not mentioned in the caption next to slain, we could probably tag it is proscribed. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 11:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * A review of US usage 2000-2009 in COCA suggests that "slayed" is increasing in popularity, but remains less common than "slew". It is very rare in UK usage (BNC). DCDuring TALK 13:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Spanish flu

Tea room discussion
Noun or proper noun? SemperBlotto 11:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * An excellent question. The first thought that comes to mind is that if it were regarded as a proper noun by its users, the second word would be capitalized, too.  But the second thought that comes to mind is that that actually can be found happening.  ☺  ("Although the article spotlighted influenza as a serious health threat, the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 is […]" — ISBN 9780231133463 pp. 80) Uncle G 11:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * (After edit conflict) The lowercase spelling suggest a common noun to me. The Spanish flu can still be thought of as an individual, but so can inventions such as "the computer", or particular substances such as epinephrine. Other names of specific diseases such as Barrett's esophagus and Japanese encephalitis are classified as common nouns, too. So I'd think that no name of a disease, regardless of how specific it is, can be classified as proper noun. --Dan Polansky 12:05, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Since the Spanish flu refers to a specific pandemic, I think it is a proper noun. It is a named epidemic. It's a specific incidence of an outbreak of a disease. I would say it's analogous to Hurricane Andrew being a hurricane, or the Middle Ages being an age. The Spanish Flu is a flu pandemic, but a particular one. 76.66.193.90 12:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * See Black Death, which is listed as a proper noun. 76.66.193.90 12:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds convincing to me. I think I have confused a disease, which basically has no extension in time, with a specific pandemic, which has a narrow extension in time. It still remains unclear whether there is a disease "Spanish flu", which in its turn has caused the pandemic of "Spanish Flu". 1918 flu pandemic tells me that the pandemic was caused by "an unusually severe and deadly Influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1." For comparison, gives mixed results as regards capitalization of the term, with many hits of the lowercase "flu". --Dan Polansky 14:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a divided defintion, the "disease" would be Spanish flu and the pandemic would be Spanish Flu? (The definition at Spanish flu is for the pandemic, so that would need to be moved) 76.66.193.90 12:48, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That doesn't wholly work, either. "Known as Spanish flu or la grippe, the influenza epidemic of 1918 and 1919 was a global disaster." — ISBN 9780763724252 pp. 119. "The horror of the Spanish flu was that, like the war itself, it seemed especially fatal to the young and healthy. " — ISBN 9780774811088 pp. 207. Uncle G 15:53, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:bridewell

Tea room discussion
Can anyone ascertain whether the word bridewell (small prison) is soothly only UK, as it is currently tagged? In the entry on MW online, which is US-based and which tags UK words as chiefly British, there was no such tag. Is it widespread in the USA? For more see User talk:SemperBlotto. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 15:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I am an American and this word is completely unfamiliar to me. It also lacks an entry in Macquarie (the leading dictionary of Australian English), so it might be micro-British rather than macro-British. -- Visviva 15:57, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * There are an astonishing-to-me 31 hits for this word in the BNC, though a number of these are capitalized references to Bridewell Hospital (source of the common noun?). There are 14 hits in COCA, of which 11 are for the surname Bridewell.  For common nouns only, the BNC-to-COCA ratio is 14:3.  Factoring in the size of the relative corpora, I would call that a "coefficient of Britishness" of 18.0, which is pretty darned British. -- Visviva 16:05, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * There is, apparently, a 'Bridewell Street' in Los Angeles. It may well be a herring - does anyone know what colour? Pingku 16:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If so, then someone must bid MW online insert the chiefly British tag, which they have not done hitherto. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 16:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * It exists, at least as far as google is concerned, but what is its etymology? Pingku 17:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Most likely it's named after someone named Bridewell. -- Visviva 17:34, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Well of course, but can you verify that?? Pingku 17:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC) 17:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a Bridewell in Dublin Ireland as well. But in all my time in Ireland I never heard is used as such for a  prison--Dmol 10:46, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

 * "[…] not in the Corporation Block, as much ground to spare from its present uses, as would be required for erecting a Bridewell, […]" — Minutes of the Common Council of the City of New York, 1784–1831, pp. 592
 * "[…] which is for building a Bridewell or Work House in the said City no Provision is made nor Power given nor method prescribed […]" — The Colonial Laws of New York from the Year 1664 to the Revolution pp. 975
 * "The Sub-Committee found that establishment to be totally distinct from, and by its construction incompatible with the arrangements necessary for a Bridewell" — Records Relating to the Early History of Boston pp. 194
 * Last time I checked, New York and Boston were not British in the 19th century. ☺
 * "[…] any other use than that of a Bridewell, the property should then become vested in […]" — A history of the city of Dublin, pp. 8
 * "[…] and accordingly he set to work to obtain a site near the College and money to build a Bridewell for the restraining of vagrants and beggars […]" — An Epoch in Irish History: Trinity College, Dublin, Its Foundation and Early Fortunes, pp. 130
 * You didn't spend enough time in Ireland, Dmol. Uncle G 16:05, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Marvellous, thus we can get rid of the UK template and input these citations on Citations:bridewell (but the problem is the capitalisation - on Citations:bridewell or Citations:Bridewell ?). As a conclusion, bridewell turned out to be a full-scale English word. Has anyone from the USA any onjections? The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 16:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We certainly can not get rid of the UK template, based on the evidence presented thus far. A regional template does not mean that a word is used only in that region -- not in the sense that no published uses outside of the region can be found.  After all, it is not that hard to find even words like "lorry" in putatively US sources if one looks hard enough.  Thus, the cherry-picked citations above are not particularly relevant IMO.  In the case of bridewell, based on the evidence given I think it would be fine to replace  with  or ; the last in particular would be both accurate and precise.  But to simply remove the template would be to remove useful, correct information about regional usage patterns. -- Visviva 17:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * When quotations that show you to be in error appear, calling them "cherry-picked" is a sign of reaching. Uncle G 12:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Visviva. The fact that a very small number of citations can be found in US-published materials does not make this a part of the US lexicon.  I have never heard the word used outside of British television, or seen it outside of British novels or newspapers (and I have experienced a very large numbmer of all three British sources).  I can remember first learning this term from British television and I had to go look it up.  Growing up in america, I had not heard it used here.  The fact that a word can be found in a US publication does not mean that the American public uses it or knows its meaning, the above quotes indicate to me only that the Irish, Irish immmigrants to the US, and colonial citizens of the future US use this term. --EncycloPetey 17:22, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Who said the number was small? I didn't.  And you haven't looked.  The fact that your vocabulary doesn't include the word means nothing.  Aside from the fact that no-one's personal vocabulary ever represents the totality of a language, the word almost certainly isn't in the modern Brit's vocabulary either, but here you are arguing that it is a U.K. English word nonetheless. The simple fact is that the word has dropped into desuetude, because such institutions no longer exist, but was in both U.S. and U.K. English.  You haven't paid attention to the dates of the quotations.  The Boston Records were written in 1821, for example — the 19th century, as I said.  Trying to turn that into a pre-Independence quotation is both drawing a highly erroneous boundary around U.S. English (whose evolution didn't magically start in 1776 — read American English#Creation of an American lexicon if you are confused upon this point) and a rather large re-write of established history. You can find similar uses in the Statutes of Nova Scotia (1822) and the Laws and Ordinances of the City of Chicago (1873).  The city council of New York had a Jail and Bridewell Committee until the at least the 1820s, when the slum problem of Five Points (which didn't even exist prior to the 19th century) came up for review before it.  The city council of Chicago had a Bridewell Committee right up until the early 20th century.  Chicago had an official position of bridewell keeper.  (The incumbent of that office in 1855 was a David Walsh, for example.)  It had a City Bridewell until at least 1898 (when the Chicago Woman's Club was lobbying to stop children being sent there).  It's ridiculous to think that all of the U.S. English speakers speaking about, writing about, and lobbying over all of these never used the word "bridewell".  And it's clear from the Boston Records, for one, that on the contrary they did use it. Trying to paint this as a non-U.S. word is a nonsense.  Both of you, as established lexicographers, should know better than to conflate your personal vocabularies with the language as a whole, and both of you should know better than to conflate the fact that a word isn't now used with the premise that it wasn't ever used.  Accept the fact that Merriam-Webster is right and you are wrong.  Clearly the M-W lexicographers have done their research. Uncle G 12:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I suggested that it be tagged "rare or obsolete" outside the UK. I don't see anything in your evidence that would contradict this, and the discrepancies in the counts between the COCA and the BNC lean very strongly in this direction.  The fact that this is in contemporary use in England, but (apparently) not or very rarely in use elsewhere, needs to be documented... unless it is false.  But you haven't shown that it is false, and there seems to be abundant corpus-based empirical evidence that it is true. -- Visviva 10:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not in contemporary use in the UK. It's just an archaic word, everywhere.  Ƿidsiþ 11:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, please not archaic, SemperBlotto already weighed it up as dated, so in the case of UK it would be too strong. US based Merriam Webster does not use any tag soever, and I personally would infer thence that this is a wonted word in both the Commonwealth and the USA, but if all of you except Uncle G are keen to contest it..., I cannot but hearken thereunto. I am a foreign speaker of English after all. Ceterum censeo that the tag dated is more well-placed. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 12:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, this is interesting. The frequency in the BNC is about 1 in 3 million, which suggests a relatively infrequent word, but one that a native speaker would probably be familiar with.  (Does that jibe with your experience?)  The frequency in COCA is less than 1 in 100 million, which suggests a word that a person could go their entire life without encountering (as I'm pretty sure I had, until this entry was created).  As a sanity check, the difference between these distributions has a log-likelihood of 29.75, which corresponds to p < 0.0001 (probability of significance greater than 99.99%).  But I suppose it's possible that the BNC is in some way biased towards texts that happen to include the word "bridewell"... -- Visviva 14:27, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Appendix:Zulu copulatives

While Zulu does have a copula verb, it is not used in the present indicative. Instead, various ways of expressing the copula exist in this case, depending on the part of speech that is used as the predicative. In the other tenses and moods, the appropriate form of is used.

The copulative form also has a negative form. It is formed as in verbs, by prefixing a-.

Nouns and pronouns
The copulative form of a noun expresses equation or identity. It is formed by prefixing the copulative particle (also called the identifying prefix) to the full form of the noun. The copulative particle is  when the noun prefix begins with u-, o- or a-, or when prefixed to the second and third person singular pronouns and. But it is  for class 11 nouns. When the noun begins with i-, or for the remaining pronouns (including demonstratives), the copulative particle is . The particle drops its vowel when followed by another vowel (as is the case with most nouns).

Note that both yi- & li- are correct for class 5 nouns - i.e., nouns beginning in i(li)- or ili-.

This copulative form can be used on its own to make an indefinite sentence in the present tense, translating roughly to "it's (word)".

 * Ngumuntu. — It's a person.
 * Yimi. — It's me.
 * Nguwe. — It's you.
 * Ngamanzi. — It's water.

When used to equate something to someting else, or to say that one thing is a kind of something else, the subject concord is prefixed to the copulative form.

 * Inja iyisilwane. — A dog is an animal.
 * Ikati liyisilwane. — A cat is an animal.
 * Izilwane zingabantu. — Animals are people.
 * Ngingumfazi. — I am a woman.
 * Ungumuntu. — (S)he's a person.
 * Bangabantu. — They're people.

But when the noun classes of the two words are the same, the subject concord is left out.

 * Umfana ngumuntu. — The boy is a person.
 * Indoda yinkosi. — The man is a king.
 * Abafazi ngabantu. — Women are people.
 * Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu. — A person is a person because of people.

In the negative, the shortened form without the subject concord may not be used; the indefinite form with "it" is formed with the class 17 prefix.

 * Akungumuntu. — It's not a person.
 * Akuyimi. — It's not me.

Adverbs, prepositional phrases and relatives
The copulative form of an adverb, prepositional phrase (including the locative) or relative is formed by prefixing the subject concord (or equivalently, the relative concord without the relative prefix a- and the augment).

 * Ngilapha. — I am here.
 * Ubaba usekhaya. — My father is at home.
 * Igazi libomvu. — Blood is red.

Adjectives
The copulative form of an adjective is formed differently, by adding the basic (vowelless) noun prefix (or equivalently, the adjective concord without the a- and the augment). In the first and second person, where there is no noun prefix, the class 1 or 2 prefixes are added instead, and the first or second person subject concords are prefixed to them.

 * Umfana mkhulu. — The boy is big.
 * Indlu inkulu. — The house is big.
 * Muhle. — (S)he's beautiful.
 * Umubi. — You (sing.) are ugly.
 * Nibade. — You (plur.) are tall.

Talk:tourtière

Pigeon pie or bread pie?
There is a controversy regarding the etymology of tourtière. The root word tourte can mean both pigeon and bread in old French, so the dish could be named after the fact that it is a loaf, or that it was full of pigeon. The Wikipedia entry for tourtière claims the bread etymology while the passenger pigeon article claims the pigeon-meat explanation. This article should mention both etymologies of tourte and explain the confusion. 98.142.245.142 22:01, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Please note, the controversy is not erudite, it is popular. There are numerous pre-Canadian references to tourte and tourtiere that have nothing to do with pigeons. There is, in fact, very little confusion in reliable etymological sources as to the origin of tourte the food (ie, LL torta). As for tourtiere, again, numerous pre-Canadian sources refer to it as a cooking vessel or serving dish.

A Quebecois tourtiere contains pork or some kind of readily available meat -- much like French tourtes (some of which were called tourtieres) at the time when New France was being settled. If it ever contained pigeon meat (which is not attested), it might possibly have been referred as tourtiere with tongue in cheek since tourtiere as a pot and a food already existed. The most likely explanation is that the pigeon etymology is a folk etymology, or otherwise a false etymology, and that Quebecois tourtiere is merely the regional interpretion of what was also known as tourte or tourtiere in France: a meat pie (or in the case of Limousin, a potato pie).

A citation is forthcoming at which time an edit to the etymology for this entry will be in order. Richigi (talk) 20:02, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

There is a small island off the western tip of Montreal island named L'Ile aux Tourtes, where colonies of "tourtes" (passenger pigeons) would gather and nest. Being highly localized, the Quebecois at the time would hunt them easily and eventually to extinction. They served as ingredients for la tourtiere.

I assume it is a loanword because frouwa is unattested and is written and pronounced the same as, which does have an etymology. Assuming there is any "Old Dutch" at all seems rather farfetched.

That doesn't mean much though. It's likely that the word appeared in Old Dutch, but wasn't written down for us to find. That it also appears in other dialects isn't really that surprising at all, considering it's a Germanic word and Old High German is very close to Old Dutch.

Wiktionary:About Yiddish

Yiddish (Wiktionary code ) is a Germanic language traditionally spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. This page outlines current guidelines about Yiddish on Wiktionary that are not policy, but can be enforced by Yiddish editors.

Dialects
Yiddish is a language spectrum with many dialects, each based on a substratum language. Although Ethnologue makes the distinction between 'Western Yiddish' and 'Eastern Yiddish', at Wiktionary all entries are treated under the macrolanguage 'Yiddish'. Only  can be used as a header.

Certain terms have only come into being in the Hasidic communities in the US. These terms should be placed in Category:American Yiddish and marked as such.

All transliteration is based on Standard Yiddish, but pronunciation can be in any dialect, so long as it is marked with. For more information, see Appendix:Yiddish pronunciation.

Alphabet and transliteration
The following transliteration standard is to be used for all translations and in entries. It is mainly based on standard transliteration, but with some minor differences. Note that the only Unicode ligature used is ײַ (ײ + ). Any alternatives or letters that map to the same transliteration (or transliterations that map to the same letter) are context-based, depending on position in the word, whether the word is of Semitic origin, and in the case of יִ and וּ, whether it follows another י or a ו, respectively.

Titles
Normal entries should have titles that use all appropriate diacritical marks, including subscript vowels and other niqqudim, unless they are Hebrew derivations, in which case they may have titles spelled the same way as their Hebrew etyma, if they are in fact attested with that spelling. The allowed characters in entry titles can be found in the first row of this chart. Any entries that do not follow these guidelines can only exist with the template on the definition line (please see that template's documentation for more information).

Verbs
The lemma form for verbs is the infinitive. Verbs should use, which must take the argument tr= with the transliteration. Verbs should have a  section with the appropriate template (chosen based on the verbal stem). is the most regular; the others are based on mildly irregular stem endings. Irregular past participles can be supplied with past= (and pasttr= for the transliterations) and a value of past=n automatically forms the past participle with /-n/ rather than /-t/. If the auxiliary verb used for the past tense is, supply aux=z. For an example, see.

Nouns
The lemma form for nouns is the singular (in the nominative, in terms that are declined). Nouns should use, which must take the arguments g= for gender and tr= for transliteration, as can also take many other arguments for such things as the plural and diminutive, documentation of which can be found here.

Adjectives
The lemma form for adjectives is the neuter indefinite. The headline should use. In a  section, the  template should usually be used (see its documentation for details).

Other parts of speech
Templates for other parts of speech tend to be more straightforward. All use tr= to supply the transliteration. For a complete list, please see Category:Yiddish headword-line templates.

Script
All entries should be solely in the Hebrew script. Sometimes English will borrow a term and put it in the Latin script, but such a use can only cite an English definition under the  header. Uses of terms in Latin script in running Yiddish text can be used to cite terms with headwords in the Hebrew script if and only if the source's transliteration allows one to reconstruct the original spelling without any ambiguity or uncertainty.

Etymologies
Etymologies should trace back to Old High German and Hebrew where appropriate, and can go back to Proto-Germanic or Proto-Slavic, but should not be listed as deriving from a modern language like German or Polish unless it is known for certain that it is true. Otherwise, use phrasing like "compare Polish ".

If a word in another language has an etymology that traces back to Yiddish, it may be listed under a  section in the Yiddish entry.

Attestation
According to WT:CFI, terms in Yiddish need only one use or mention in a durably archived source per sense to be considered attested. Dictionaries may be cited in bibliographic format in a  section, but quotations should be formatted according to WT:QUOTE. If more than zero citations but less than three actual uses are present in an entry, it is recommended that <tt> </tt> is placed near the bottom of an entry, which creates the following box:

If a term does not appear to be citeable, the template can be placed on it and it can be posted at WT:RFV.

Editors
Editors who speak Yiddish can be found at Category:User yi. If you speak Yiddish, you can add yourself to the list by using a BabelBox.

Wiktionary talk:About Yiddish

Transliteration
I think I just more or less created a new transliteration standard. Is everyone OK with this? Our entries seem to deviate a lot, but does anyone know if they are mostly in YIVO transliteration or not? --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:17, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have been using the YIVO standard for all transliterations of phonetically spelled words. Does your new standard deviate from YIVO? The biggest problem is transliteration of non-phonetic words (i.e. Hebrew words). We really need to come up with a standard for those since I have seen many inconsistencies regarding this. For example, should the Hebrew plural ending  be transliterated in Yiddish as -im or -em (since the vowel is reduced to a schwa). --WikiTiki89 (talk) 08:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, looking back over it, I realize that it's actually almost identical to YIVO. You should be fine. I agree that Hebraized spellings are a mess, but the solution for those is to find the spelling used after the Soviet phonetic reform and substitute in that transliteration. I'm pretty sure they changed Hebraized ים– to Yiddishized עם–, but I'd have to check to be sure. By the way, we really need to run a dump analysis to check for any use of bare "פ" in Yiddish entry titles. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:18, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We also need to decide what to do about unpointed Yiddish. It's not standard, but it seems to be quite common. I recently moved פעלד to פֿעלד without a redirect, but maybe פעלד should be listed as an alternative nonstandard form of פֿעלד. Also, the Hebrew drop-down character box needs to be expanded to include Yiddish characters, and since we aren't using ligatures except ײַ, that should be added and the other three removed. Hebrew doesn't need them, does it? —Angr 21:09, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I would advocate that we add a section here that says that unpointed forms can only be alt-forms. Do you (pl.) agree with that? Thanks for reminding me of the edittools dropdown. I'll add all the Yiddish characters to it. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:37, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Actually, all YIVO-standard Yiddish characters were already supported by MediaWiki:Edittools with the exception of ײַ, which I just added (and thus which will appear eventually, sooner if you clear your cache, I think). --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:47, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with a note saying unpointed forms may be added, but only as alternative forms. When trying to type פֿעלד above I was unable to find the rafe in the dropdown table, but now I've found it. —Angr 16:05, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I guess I'll add that in. Викитики89, please speak up if you disagree! PS: !האָב אַ גוט יאָר!/שנה טובה
 * I don't have a problem with them being added as alternative forms but I don't think it is necessary to go about doing this wherever possible as there would be too many attestable combinations especially from before the YIVO standard. שנה טובה און גוט יום טוב! --WikiTiki89 (talk) 10:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, but it may be appropriate to add it on a page like זיי ("they"), not to be confused with זײַ ("be!"). Maybe we need a template,, which would produce a neatly piped link to nikud or nikud and a fake nonstandard context label (which actually links to Yiddish orthography or something) but feeds into Category:Yiddish alternative forms? --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:37, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's a good idea. I think we should make a policy of adding them to pages that already exist (like זיי or conflicting Hebrew or Ladino words). --WikiTiki89 (talk) 06:26, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ See פעלד. How does it look? (I figure we oughtn't add it to pages like זיי before someone creates all the inflected forms of verbs.) --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:36, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I've been bold and added it to אויפן as well. —Angr 20:51, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I made a couple of edits to AYI; please review the changes to make sure you're fine with them. Mostly, I added a section on adjective templates and mentioned unpointed forms. If somebody can please provide more documentation, preferably here, about using the conjugation templates, then I think I'll be able to fully understand this whole convoluted Yiddish template system. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Digraphs
I think that when יי appears in a word without a diacritic beneath it, the entry title should include יי and not the one-character thingy that looks like יי, and that there should be a hard redirect from the version with the one-character digraph, so that any possible Hebrew entry is on the same page, for convenience (look in one place for two things). Thoughts? (Of course, this wouldn't apply to יי with a diacritic.) —msh210℠ (talk) 17:00, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, all the (unpointed) digraphs ײ, ױ, װ should be deprecated in favor of two-character forms יי, וי, וו, with hard redirects from the digraph forms to the two-character forms. —Angr 20:50, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We do say explicitly that ײַ is the only ligature we use. If you (or anyone else who likes this kind of job) wants to fix any existing Yiddish entries that might have those digraphs, I would be quite happy. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:16, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Phonetic spelling
We should say something about forms using the "phonetic spelling" of Hebrew/Aramaic words favored in the Soviet Union. I'd recommend including them if attested but tagging them with something like to point to the standard spelling using Hebrew/Aramaic spelling. —Angr 17:05, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I support that. I suppose I'll create the template soon if nobody comments. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:30, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there a generally accepted name for this spelling? "Phonetic spelling" is a term I just pulled out of my ass. —Angr 20:55, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of, but I'm not a Yiddish scholar. It sounds pretty legit to me. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update
I just thought I'd tell you guys what I've been doing in Yiddishland lately. First of all, in case you hadn't noticed, now exists. I'm also starting on an effort to create complete entries for every Yiddish term at WT:FR:yi, which means a lot of inflected forms. The standard format I've been using for inflected forms can be found as follows:
 * Plurals: מענטשן
 * Participles: געזאָגט

Do all these look good to you? Also, I'd like to call your attention to Category:Requests for etymology (Yiddish), which could use some work. !אַ דאַנק --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 15:07, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Looks good. Good luck, there are a lot of redlinks. חג שמח! --WikiTiki89 (talk) 16:10, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

 * וויקיטיקי, you list yourself as an advanced template-maker. Can you figure out how to use User:Conrad.Irwin/creation.js to greenlink the plural(s) in and the participle in ? I know how to do it in very basic situations (like ) but I'm not sure how to include the transliteration. Thanks again! --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:49, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I've never used User:Conrad.Irwin/creation.js and have no idea how it works. Is there a guide or some examples I could look at? --WikiTiki89 (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

 * You can enable it in WT:PREFS. It creates green links instead of red links when a template can supply the metadata to allow that redlink to be created with a single click. Play around with it - I think that is the simplest template that has it. Once you enable it, try the greenlink at omulenzi (it will be correct). --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 16:51, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I already have it enabled I'm just trying to figure out how it works. Is the metadata contained in the <span> tag? If you can find me an example of one that does use transliterations that would help. I noticed that some languages have special cases for transliterations right in User:Conrad.Irwin/creation.js itself. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 06:35, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, it's the spans. AFAIK, is the only non-Latn template to use it, so maybe you can figure it out from there. I'm not sure what's up with the special cases. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:49, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

A few things
Thanks! —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:55, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) How do we feel about having a part of speech called 'particles'? See Category:Yiddish particles.
 * 2) I'm having trouble with some suffixes and prefixes. How would you define פֿאַר־:, ־ניק:, and ־דיק:?
 * 3) Can we choose an L4 header for adjectival inflection? Some entries have 'Declension', most have 'Inflection'.
 * Why not? Most languages seem to have them.
 * Yeah that's difficult. I would compare entries like for-, ver-, -ник, -ик, -y, -ig, -ic, -icus.
 * I prefer "Declension" but it doesn't make much of a difference.
 * --WikiTiki89 19:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with WikiTiki in all three points. —Angr 20:01, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * After reading ver-, I still feel somewhat confused. Anyway, I guess I'll try to get an AWBer to switch us over to 'Declension'. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:07, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

from German
A number of entries cite a Yiddish word as deriving from a German word. (I just came across it at [[shul]], but I've seen it elsewhere also.) Didn't Yiddish derive from what we call "Old High German" rather than from what we call "German"? Of course, there are probably loanwords from German, but I suspect that many of the claims of German ancestry of Yiddish words are mistaken. I don't know about any one in particular that it's mistaken, so I haven't been correcting them. But maybe someone who knows can do so. (And maybe someone with the ability to do so can list them. It'd require, I guess, scanning a dump for all instances of  or   that occur either in a ==Yiddish== section or in the same ==language== section as   or  .) —msh210℠ (talk) 20:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There are indeed German loanwords in Yiddish, but of course the majority of Germanic words in Yiddish are inherited from Old/Middle High German. The trouble is that sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. שול, for example, would probably look the same either way. I know that שפּראַך is a loanword, because if it were inherited it would be "שפּראָך", and קאָרט and קאַרטע are doublets: the former is inherited, the latter is a loanword. But I really only know this handful of examples; I'm not in a position to go through Category:Yiddish terms derived from German and make sure everything there is genuinely a loanword. —Angr 20:56, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. I just noticed that שולע exists as well; perhaps שול is inherited and שולע is borrowed. But I don't know for sure. —Angr 20:57, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I try to keep a vague eye on Category:Yiddish terms derived from German, but checking the English entries is much harder. In the case of shul, I reckon that it's not from German but shule is, because Yiddish will sometimes pull off the feminine suffix but I don't think Standard High German ever does (Angr, care to prove me wrong?). I don't have a Yiddish etymological dictionary, though, so I can't do any better. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:55, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

 * I have nothing to add except the note that About Yiddish does attempt to address / acknowledge this problem. - -sche (discuss) 01:50, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

 * What does "Etymologies should trace back to Old High German" mean, why is Middle High German not mentioned in this guide? There is a consensus that Yiddish derived from MHG, not OHG (for a more detailed dialectological analysis and two etymologies that we could add, see, e. g. https://ingeveb.org/articles/new-yiddish-dialectology), and as of this writing, there are 831 pages in Category:Yiddish terms inherited from Middle High German. 5.178.188.143 11:11, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Marking stress in transliterations
I think we should allow marking the position of stress by using an acute accent on the main vowel of the stressed syllable as is recommended at WT:AHE; although Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds disagrees because they're not allowed by YIVO standards. What do other users think? --Sije (talk) 20:53, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If we were to use them, which I oppose, I think it should only be for words like פּאַיאַץ where the stress is not predictable. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:30, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

ײ
DTLHS kindly provided me with a list of Yiddish entries using disallowed digraphs in their entry titles and I have moved all of them except for this legitimate entry. I would like to convert all digraphs in links into how we use them on Wiktionary in the module (just like stripping diacritics), but links to an entry for a character like this would be affected. What do you think? Should we make this entry Translingual (like we do for many other characters) or just not worry about linking to it? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:36, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Can't you just ignore any link that is just [[ײ]] alone? No real word should ever start with this digraph anyway. --WikiTiki89 18:40, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to do that. Do you? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:46, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Two of the three redlinks in the See also section of ײ would also be affected. The problem with calling them translingual is that they aren't translingual; AFAIK they're really used only in Yiddish. The only way I can think of to prevent links to the ligature from automatically pointing to יי (two separate yods) would be to move it to Appendix:Unsupported titles/Yiddish double yod, but that's kind of an abuse of that appendix, since there's no technical reason https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ײ can't be a URL. I suppose it comes down to the question of which of the following options is least objectionable:
 * We don't script the module to automatically redirect the deprecated ligatures to the two-character equivalents.
 * We keep [[ײ]] where it is, meaning it is impossible to link to it by means of the usual templates like l, m, t, etc.
 * We merge [[ײ]] into a Yiddish section of [[יי]], which is a copout since it's supposed to a page on the Unicode character.
 * We call [[ײ]] Translingual instead of Yiddish, even though Yiddish is the only language that uses it. (If that's true; if it turns out another language uses the ligature, we're golden.)
 * We move [[ײ]] to Appendix:Unsupported titles/Yiddish double yod.
 * Any other options I haven't thought of? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:51, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * In typesetting, ײ was (or maybe still is?) used as a ligature of two י's in any language printed in the Hebrew script. Likewise for װ and ױ. The reason for the ligatures was simply because two letters could be positioned more compactly on one piece of type than on two pieces of type. The mistake was to carry these ligatures over to electronic keyboards and later into Unicode. The only reason they became associated with Yiddish is because Yiddish is the only language in which these digraphs are treated as separate letters (and only by YIVO). --WikiTiki89 19:27, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * In that case, calling it Translingual seems to be the way to go. I notice that other deprecated ligatures associated with a single language are also called Translingual: Ǳ, ǲ, ǳ, Ǆ, ǅ, ǆ, Ĳ, Ǉ, ǈ are all Translingual; ĳ is both Translingual and Dutch; and ǉ, Ǌ, ǋ, ǌ all redirect to the corresponding digraph. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:53, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I have converted ײ and װ into Translingual entries (although they could definitely use improvement). I'd like to add the digraphs to be stripped from links now, but I'm not sure how to do that for ײ without ִlegitimate links to ײַ being affected. Do either of you know how to do that? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:38, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have some ideas for potential work-arounds, but this won't solve the inherent problem. Ideally, we want to replace the ligatures with the digraphs in the source code of the entries themselves. Maybe we could also add a cleanup category. --WikiTiki89 15:03, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I've dealt with all the ones in pagetitles (mostly due to Embryomystic's copy-pasting), but I haven't asked anyone to generate a list for links (which would, I suppose, only be possible when those links are tagged as being Yiddish). I agree that we would want to change them in the source code, though. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:43, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Why would ײַ be affected by a script changing ligature ײ into digraph יי? They're two different characters. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 20:01, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but DTLHS pulled up instances of ײַ when he made the list. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:25, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ײַ is a composition of 2 characters. DTLHS (talk) 02:34, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Not only that, but even if you type in the single-character version of ײַ, the MediaWiki software will convert it to the two separate characters. --WikiTiki89 14:30, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize that. That's the reason why, then. Although surely it's three separate characters: yod, a second yod, and patach. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 16:59, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * A yod, a second yod, and a patach would have the patach under only the second yod. That is why the ligature is required. --WikiTiki89 17:00, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. Anyway, now I understand the problem, but I still don't know how to solve it, other than by not having the module fix Yiddish ligatures. Does it fix deprecated ligatures in other languages?  hard-redirects to , but it isn't sent there automatically by the module. And   doesn't exist at all, not even as a hard redirect to  . Maybe we should just stick to hard redirects. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:27, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The workaround would be to use lua to lua (watch the RTL) and lua to lua as regex replacements. --WikiTiki89 18:16, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Technical concerns

 * It's probably about time to do an overhaul of the Yiddish infrastructure, especially our woefully inadequate template structure. It looks like some of it has been solved, but I'm having trouble telling what, because of lack of documentation (both on templates themselves and on this page). Can handle all the adjectives? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I think so, but I can't tell you for sure without a comprehensive Yiddish grammar reference. Do you know of any (that hopefully are not ridiculously expensive)? --WikiTiki89 15:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * How comprehensive do you want? I've got Weinreich's College Yiddish on my bookshelf, but I can get more Yiddish reference books if you need me to check them. The real issue is that a bunch of things are lacking documentation, and if templates like are now unneeded, they should be deleted and this page should say what to use instead. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:28, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * "College Yiddish : An Introduction to the Yiddish Language and to Jewish Life and Culture" does not sound very comprehensive to me, and it is clearly intended to teach the language rather than document it. I want it to be comprehensive enough for us to be able to make sure we have covered every possibility in the templates. --WikiTiki89 21:01, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It has a synopsis of grammar in the back that looks pretty complete to me, in the style of the classical languages. But if that's not good enough for you, I can go and fetch a copy of Katz's Grammar of the Yiddish Language, Birnbaum's Yiddish: A survey and a grammar, or Jacobs's Yiddish: A Linguistic Introduction. Do any of those look appealing? I can take photos of selected pages, too. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:31, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

New headline template for unpointed forms
I'm thinking of making as a headline template that does not categorise, but requires transliteration, for unpointed entries. Is there any opposition to doing this? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:58, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem is that then it wouldn't support all the features of the POS-specific templates, such as plurals and past participles, which we still might want to include in unpointed entries. --WikiTiki89 00:49, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Do we? I was thinking that the past participle should simply link to its pointed equivalent, rather than to its base verb, for example. Do you disagree? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * What I mean is that in the headword line at זאגן, we might want to link to the p.p. געזאגט. The definition lines of those two entries will of course each link to their respective pointed forms. --WikiTiki89 15:42, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Is that really worth doing? I wanted to have them be like Japanese romanisation entries, which have no extraneous information and serve only as soft redirects., a third opinion perhaps? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:02, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think keeping it bare-bones is probably best, as per Metaknowledge. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's different from Japanese romanization entries, because these spellings are actually used. Alternative spellings usually should have inflected forms listed. The one reason I see not to do so in this case, is that it is trivial to deduce these spellings by removing the diacritics. That's enough of a reason for me not to go around adding them, but it's not enough for me to be convinced that we should never have them. --WikiTiki89 18:49, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe I was unclear; I'm not saying we shouldn't have unpointed inflected forms, just that we shouldn't link to them. This is a matter of making it easier to keep track of our data; if we change the plural information for a lemma, we shouldn't have to check if there's an unpointed entry to fix as well. Instead, the unpointed plural would point straight toward the YIVO plural, and the unpointed lemma to the YIVO lemma, as soft redirects. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:35, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * No I understood you. I was talking about the links (to inflected forms from unpointed lemmas). --WikiTiki89 00:24, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry. In that case, we directly disagree and will need more opinions to form a consensus. I'm not really sure whom else to ping, though. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:27, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Even people who don't edit Yiddish could have an opinion on how to treat issues like this in general. Yiddish isn't the only language that has a large class of nonstandard spellings. Do German entries for superseded spellings like link to their inflected forms? What about Russian terms spelled with ѣ? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 07:01, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think of the case of as being more like, rather than like . Perhaps I'm making a false distinction. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:15, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * If anything, is more like  or  since it's still widely used (Yiddish Wikipedia uses unpointed spellings, as do street signs in Kiryas Joel) despite being nonstandard. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 07:28, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I would equate them with Swiss spellings, which don't use ß ever. In Russian, I would equate them with spellings that don't use ё. For the latter, we generally do not bother adding inflected forms (see ), but the option to add them is always there, which is what I think should be the case for Yiddish unpointed spellings. By contrast, forms spelled with ѣ even have full declension tables (see ), which is in fact more than I think we need for Yiddish Germanized spellings (i.e. like ) and such, for which I think filling the headword line (with plurals/past particples/etc.) would be enough. --WikiTiki89 15:56, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * One point (no pun intended) to ponder is this: Who gets to decide what should be considered standard? The academics or the native Yiddish speakers? Kindly check out the Hassidic Yiddish newspapers and periodicals out there such as Der Yid, Der Blatt, Maalos, and Beleichtungen, and you'll find that  and   are used frequently but inconsistently; while ,  , and   are never used. --Sije (talk) 03:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hard to say, and I've always been a bit uncomfortable with it. It seems to make more sense to go the academic route because of the lemming test (viz., other dictionaries do it). Certainly they have a monopoly on the term 'Standard Yiddish'. Ideally, if we had all the unpointed forms as soft redirects, it wouldn't be an issue. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I think is accepted as the language regulator for Yiddish, so its recommendations can be considered the standard language. That doesn't mean everyone follows its rules, though, of course. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I think we should mostly follow YIVO, but only when the YIVO forms are actually attestable and not rare. --WikiTiki89 15:25, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Hebrew + zayn verbs
Do we have any of these? How do we handle them? I was just about to add, when I noticed that we may not actually support them yet. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I added and  in the past (without conjugation tables). I plan on adding support for them in the conjugation module, along with separable prefixes. --WikiTiki89 22:26, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Should we put on entries like ? Also, I realised that some of these use other verbs like hobn or ton, although those may be viewed more as set phrases than deserving of an entry (like, say,, which is pretty self-explanatory and quite possibly SOP). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:27, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I've been even thinking about putting the whole entry at מכוון, but probably having it at מכוון זײַן would be better. Yes, other verbs are used in these types of phrases and not only Hebrew words are used, although with זײַן specifically, it is almost exclusively Hebrew words. What's more is that these all function exactly the same way as verbs with separable prefixes, except that they are not written as one word when they precede the verb. --WikiTiki89 23:34, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Transliterating the plural suffix ־ים
We currently transliterate this as -em, but it sounds like /i/ to me whenever I hear native speakers use it, and standard reference dictionaries like Weinreich and Niborski/Vaisbrot transliterate it thus as well. I think we should change this to be in line with them. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:59, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:18, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree. --Sije (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree unless we can demonstrate or find evidence of minimal pairs in which the ־ים suffix is differentiated from another word ending in -em. For example, and  on one hand vs.  and  on the other; or /// on one hand vs. // on the other. Perhaps the particular consonant before the ־ים is relevant. Keep in mind that native speakers today might be overly influenced by Hebrew, and the Yiddish schwa in my experience is not far off from [ɪ] anyway. --WikiTiki89 18:33, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't need minimal pairs, because this isn't for determining phonemes, it's for the romanisation. If native speakers, including lexicographers and philologists, seem to use this predominantly, then it demonstrates something about how they think about the sound. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Then why do we show reduced vowels at all in Hebrew-origin words? Why not have, , , , , , etc.? And I really do think that there is a bit of an argument for doing that, because the words are occasionally pronounced that way. In "Ashkenazi English" spelling, u is preserved in such cases (e.g. , ), even though the pronunciation of the word comes directly from Yiddish. What I'm getting at is that we need to identify why we are showing the reduction in the transliterations, rather than leaving it to the pronunciation sections, and then we can judge whether this reason applies to the suffix. --WikiTiki89 15:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The answer to that is easy: you only hear those reduced vowels when someone is speaking very solemnly and clearly. (And don't use English spellings to support your case, because those are heavily influenced by Hebrew orthography.) Our transliterations should essentially be YIVO-standard, and this appears to be how the standard does it. Moreover, this is a vowel that doesn't get particularly reduced and, as I have stated, the great lexicographers agree. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:09, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The only part of that I can agree with is that we should follow the YIVO standard. I really wish that I could find an actual description of the YIVO standard transliteration system that goes beyond just the letters of the alphabet. Until then, I guess we'll have to trust that Weinreich did in fact follow the YIVO standard. --WikiTiki89 18:43, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * But what about words like, should they be tsadik now too? I think that would make sense. --WikiTiki89 20:18, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they should. If memory serves, Weinreich writes it thus as well. In effect, the scheme in College Yiddish is taken as the YIVO standard (I've seen this stated explicitly). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:51, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, let's do that then. --WikiTiki89 14:36, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I think there are two steps: using AWB or a bot to fix all the entries and links to entries that use -im, and generating a list of Hebraic words we have with a non-initial yod, which I will be able to scan quickly to find unstressed i to fix. Would you be able to do that? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 15:49, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Tsvey-vovn ligature
I propose that we use hard redirects with  for every Yiddish entry that includes. No other languages use this letter, so it should be safe to do so. If you have any objections, please state them here. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 08:43, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

What you've done is essentially calling CodeCat an "extremist", which is a ridiculous statement when Old Dutch is accepted as a language in mainstream linguistics and by authorities like the ISO. Why don't you discuss the issue, instead of doubting a language's existence (I'd like to know what language you think all the texts mentioned at Old Dutch are in, if not Old Dutch itself).
