Deleted entries
I noticed you deleted the pages 빛의 and 빛에 관한. Is there a particular reason, or was it an accident? Spacestationtrustfund (talk) 07:00, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

 * No, not an accident. They are both WT:RFDCJK, in case you missed and are clear SoP's. I may have rushed (there should be longer time), though but not sure. These cases are too obvious and will be deleted, anyway. If you want to translate photic, you should use non-SoP links, like, which will link to lemma . is a particle and not part of the word.
 * User:Fish bowl voted "Delete swiftly" in both cases. I agree: Requests_for_deletion/CJK and Requests_for_deletion/CJK Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:11, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Talkpage deletion
Hi, don't you think it might be better to archive your talkpage instead of deleting it every once in a while? People might want to revisit some older conversations from time to time, and not everyone has the possibility to view the deleted edits. Thadh (talk) 15:12, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I want to say that I support deleting the talk page from time to time, but more importantly, I support a qualified right of the editor who controls the account to delete things from their talk page. An editor should have free reign in this area; they should delete things without fear that people will worry about it if they delete things on their own talk page. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:54, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This isn't about the right to delete things. It's a polite request to consider doing otherwise. If Anatoli declines, nothing bad will happen. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:03, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * A simple request is fine, but I completely disagree with such a request. I am also against peer pressure in this matter. Sometimes you can have conversations that you can't bear seeing all the time on your talk page. If you delete them, they don't go away, but at least you don't have to see them. Sometimes you can have other legitimate reasons. Therefore, I support complete freedom in this area, to the extent allowed within the rules of Wiktionary. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 20:12, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's one thing to delete things from your talkpage - it's another thing entirely to do so in a way that makes the edit history inaccessible. Theknightwho (talk) 14:06, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * (cf. "Although archiving is preferred, users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages." ) --Geographyinitiative (talk) 15:53, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that doesn't make it inaccessible. In any event, it's just a request. Theknightwho (talk) 15:54, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * In the context of the sentence on Wikipedia I quoted, you may be right on some level. But from the literal words of the sentence, making comments 'inaccessible' seems to fall within the limit of "freely remove". I interpret these words in favor of a maximal freedom of action because we don't know everyone's situation and needs. Thanks for the discussion; since I have made four comments I will not post any further replies. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 16:17, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's important to remember that we are not Wikipedia, their rules and customs don't necessarily apply on Wiktionary. That said, Thekinghtwho is right, this was only a polite request. That said, maybe it's a good idea to stop spamming Atitarev's talkpage with meaningless discussions. Thadh (talk) 16:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Uyghurjin
Hi - please don't amend "Mongolian" to "Uyghurjin" to refer to the Mongolian script, as you did here. Uyghurjin refers to an early form of the script, derived from the Old Uyghur script. The normal word for the traditional script is (or just Mongolian). Theknightwho (talk) 14:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

 * That was a long time ago. I am reverting back to use “Mongolian”, which is also supported by modules. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 20:45, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Mongolian scripts
Hiya - I'm wondering how best to handle the two Mongolian scripts when a term is only used in one script or the other. There are ambiguous situations going in both directions (more when it's traditional to Cyrillic), so it's not just a case of working out what the theoretical form would be. Quite a lot of the Russian borrowings have made it across the border to Inner Mongolia, but not all of them, which is why I was thinking. Do you have any thoughts? Theknightwho (talk) 12:45, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

 * You’re talking about descendants, right? You just provide the one script that the term exists in. What seems to be the problem? Multiple forms in one script can be separated by a pipe “|”. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 13:05, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It came from that, but it's also a wider question about the best way to handle Mongolian going forward, as there will inevitably be entries that can only be created in one script or the other. It's fine to do that, but the elephant in the room is what that implies for the entries used in both. I don't want to be in a permanent situation of trying to keep two sets of entries in sync with each other, and I also don't want to be making judgment-calls about which term deserves to be lemmatised at which. Theknightwho (talk) 13:15, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Nobody is expected to do more than they know or feel comfortable with. If you can access the other script and want to do add, go ahead and add it, otherwise don't worry. Also, You don't have to bother about a language more than native speakers do. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:58, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Revert - положба
Hello, why did you revert my edit положба on the page положение? It's also Slavic, so it redirects them to another same word (but similar writing)? I've also put a redirection from Положба to Положение. All Slavic words are interconnected. Andrew012p (talk) 21:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

 * @Andrew012p If these are cognates, the best place to put them is in the relevant etymology sections. For example, "Cognate with mk" gives "Cognate with 🇨🇬". The also template is for words that are visually similar - usually alternative lettercase forms or involving diacritics - and doesn't have anything to do with whether they're related. That's because it's not tied to a specific language and just exists for convenience, whereas cognates are actual linguistic information. Theknightwho (talk) 21:59, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Theknightwho Okay, thank you. Andrew012p (talk) 22:18, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Pronunciation revert
Why did you cancel the second pronunciation for доброе утро? The variant with fully pronounced "eje" is uncommon. Vziel (talk) 06:45, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Because I don't agree with that pronunciation to be put there. You can experiment with this on the Russian Wiktionary, though.
 * [ˈdobrə(j)ə ˈutrə], [ˈdobrəɪ ˈutrə] or [ˈdobrəɛ ˈutrə] would be more accurate alternatives. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад)
 * : Hi. Does Ivanova say anything about this type of endings? I'd hate adding original researches on standard terms. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:01, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I think these ones you mentioned are indeed more accurate. Vziel (talk) 09:58, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Anatoli, sorry for the delay. I think you are asking what Ivanova says about endings like -ое? The closest she has to talking about this is on p. 888, where she says (in reference to "Гласные [а], [е] (на письме буквы я, е)"):
 * В остальных предударных и заударных слогах произносится очень короткий неясный звук, средний между [и] и [э], но более близкий к [и], обозначаемый в транскрипций как [ь]: нестерпи́мо [ньсьтиэр], деревя́нный [дьриэвь], перезво́н [пьриэз], репертуа́р [рьпьр], челове́к [чьла].
 * Unfortunately it's clear from the examples that she's talking about syllables before the stress rather than syllables at the end of the word. There are examples elsewhere where she indicates e.g. the ending of до́брого and си́него as [въ], and similarly the ending of рабо́та as [тъ] and во́рсом as [съм], but no examples indicating the ending of words in -е. Benwing2 (talk) 18:12, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover that situation. The final, unstressed pronunciations of "е" and "э" is not so well-described (where it's also [ə], not [ɪ]). The optional dropping of [j] is also of interest. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:47, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Isn’t this SOP, with sense 14 of the verb tirer at the French Wiktionary? (tirer quelqu’un d’un problème → tirer soi même de ce problème → s’en tirer.) Compare Bill Clinton ... se tira du piège  and son père l’en tira de nouveau. --Lambiam 06:29, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

 * My impression is, it is idiomatic, though but I am not 100% sure any more. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:32, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the idiomaticity is vested in sense 14 of the verb, “to set free”, “to deliver” (as in, “deliver us from evil”). --Lambiam 08:30, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, I will delete the entry and move the citation to tirer. Are you willing to add more definitions? Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:43, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

romanizations in Joshua
Hi. I recently edited the etymology section of this English entry so that the Hebrew would appear romanized in a consistent way, but then four hours later you edited the section leaving romanizations inconsistent again. For example, you changed the romanization of יְהוֹשֻׁעַ to "yehoshúa'" in the first instance, but left the second and third instances as Yĕhōšúaʿ (I see now that I forgot to add the ayin mark to the 2nd instance, but no matter...). Why is this? I admit I'm pretty unfamiliar with Wiktionary's Hebrew conventions, but does the inconsistency not annoy you? --Ser be être 是 talk/stalk 01:57, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

 * The inconsistency with About_Hebrew (column #3 - the regular Wiktionary romanisation) does annoy me, that's why the edit, which doesn't include any capitalisation or (scholarly) symbols like "š". I may have missed some places but the idea is to comply with the agreed method. If the method is not to your liking you challenge the rule but not individual entries. You're not first who complains but the rules haven't changed. If they change, the romanisations can be consistently changed with a bot. I don't work much with Hebrew entries but I am all for consistency. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:47, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Arabic loanwords
Hi Atitarev. Not sure I talked about it with you, but I have been wondering whether you are actually taught to pronounce loanwords in Arabic as [//en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/9298687 the example] of Barbados. In Arabic, loanwords don't normally take the expected Classical Arabic three vowels indicated in many cases by its mater lectionis. The damma diacritic is also incorrectly added to indicate a close /u(ː)/, though the Arabic practice outside of Wiktionary is to omit it if the word has another vowel, /o(ː)/. Thanks. --Esperfulmo (talk) 13:02, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Hey. I am aware of the complexity, unpredictability and lack of regulations for pronunciations of loanwords and Arabic, specifically about the /o(ː)/ vs /u(ː)/ or /e(ː)/ vs /o(ː)/. When dictionaries or online resources don't provide anything definite, I have given the default, predictable transliteration in some cases. It's an old edit from 2010. I have changed many since. Thanks for addressing. Surely another native speaker will come and add their own version. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:28, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks for taking care. --Esperfulmo (talk) 13:19, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Several years ago when I wrote a bot script to clean up Arabic translits and vocalize the Arabic script form, I ran into this issue of loanwords. As Anatoli points out, there are often no dictionary resources that clearly indicate the pronunciation of vowels in loanwords. The existing loanword translits are years old and totally inconsistent; it's a mess and really needs a native speaker to clean things up. My vocalization script added diacritics in all cases including when e.g. a و was indicated as u, ō or o in translit; I didn't realize that the normal practice is to omit the diacritic in such cases (although I'd argue this isn't necessarily the most helpful practice). Benwing2 (talk) 02:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of evidence that loanwords do use diacritics, even if the vowels don't correspond to standard Arabic o(ː)/ or /e(ː)/ or if they are shortened.
 * Diacritics are helpful but a trasnliterations or various version of them help disambiguate.
 * So can be transliterated as various readings like barbādus, barbados or barbādōs but the vocalisation "بَرْبَادُوس" is still correct and applicable. It is problematic when it is barbēdos, for that, a different Arabic spelling would apply, e.g.  or . This is a rare exception where a spelling doesn't match the transliteration and pronunciation altogether. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:41, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys. I already wrote before that Arabic speakers never add diacritics preceding mater lectiones representing the vowels /eː, oː/. If outsiders do this practice, that doesn't make it valid. I believe Persians also don't use diacritics for this particular case. The only times I've witnessed the mentioned practice was online by non-Arabic speakers and outsiders. An addition to your codes that interprets vocalized words could interpret unvocalized ي and و as ē, ō, respectively, is worth considering. This will produce a lot less faulty results. --Esperfulmo (talk) 01:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Diacritics offer convenience, regardless of the origin. If a loanword is written with diacritics, as in this article, it offers an alternative to a native or foreigner alike on how to read a word. Regardless of what is considered "correct" or "standard". The question on what is "correct" often depends on who you ask and how one treats loanwords. One will say "we accommodate to the original sound", recognising the foreign words, the others prefer to almost or totally adopt them. In I used . Both readings are attested and links are provided, which was then discarded by @Fenakhay with a "No..." edit summary and now we have a fully adopted reading: . (@Fenakhay: My preference is to provide both ō/o and ū/u readings, one is definitely attested AND diacritics - I didn't get around to respond earlier). There are many examples, check . I consulted educated Arabic speakers. They all claimed different pronunciations and I heard Al-Jazeera to use various. Does the vocalisation make anything harder? I don't think so.
 * I think we can further discuss policy decisions. Providing both diacritics and transliterations doesn't hurt anyone, just makes it possible both technically and for the user experience (you can use either method or both). Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW, I like the idea to add invisible codes to allow for ē, ō. Also, any consonants not available by default - č, g, ž, etc.
 * It is possible e.g. to replace Arabic with the Persian  here, to get the desired reading:
 * Note that the display still uses the but it transliterates it as "g". Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:11, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Support for Łacinka entry names
Hiya - I've added support for Łacinka entry names in Belarusian, so (e.g.) only removes the accent from the "e" (not the "s"). Theknightwho (talk) 20:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks. It's the right thing to do but I don't how useful it's going to be specifically for Belarusian. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev I've noticed we don't actually have any entries, but if they're in translation sections then it makes sense to be able to support accents properly, I think. Theknightwho (talk) 22:38, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Not just that. It's normal to use stress signs over Cyrillic vowels, e.g. in Belarusian but I am not aware of such a tradition when it's written in łacinka. Łacinka is originally based on Polish spellings, where letter ó is used and it's pronounced "u". Now it looks more like a mixture of Polish. In Czech, acute accents signify long vowels. It's good to have, anyway. In case there is a conversion from Cyrillic to łacinka, which can be done from Taraškievica orthography. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Seems like stress signs were at least sometimes used in Łacinka back in 1846, as can be seen here. "Хрысто́с васкрэ́с Сын Божы" was written as "Chrystōs waskrēs Syn Božy". It's also interesting that we can see a remark about the technical limitations of the used typography equipment (at the bottom of the scanned page). But the intention to indicate the stressed vowels was clearly there. Ssvb (talk) 17:58, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ssvb, @Theknightwho: That's a different (older) version of łacinka and was meant to help Polish speakers to get the accents right. With the same success you can probably find some accented German (or other Latin-based) texts. My point being, accented łacinka is very uncommon and can't be sourced. It doesn't mean it can be used in a transliterated Belarusian texts at Wiktionary (we already have accents) over Belarusian terms and if łacinka is also used as the main or alternative transliteration, I can't see why it can't have accents. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:06, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I only wanted to show an example of accented Łacinka just in case if you or @Theknightwho haven't seen it yet. This particular song lyrics book was a very recent addition on wikisource after all. As for the common use or lack thereof, accented Cyrillic texts are not very common either. Their usage is mostly limited to specialized books, such as dictionaries or language learning materials.

Persian questions
Hi. I am making good progress in canonicalizing Persian translit but I have a lot of questions, not knowing Persian much. Here is the first batch:

1. Latin o against Arabic و especially in loanwords: Is this OK or a mistake in translit? It doesn't always occur:
 * fa "Croatian"
 * fa "North Rhine-Westphalia"
 * fa "horn"
 * fa "antelope"
 * fa "Holland"

 * AT: و may stand for both ô and o in loanwords, unpredictable but based on the source language, usually quite close to the source pronunciation. Sometimes no written vowel is used, as in case of fa, which is quite adapted.

2. Sometimes there's a silent or untransliterated و in خو: fa "asleep". Is this correct or should we be writing xwâbide?
 * AT: xâbide is correct, there are few cases where "consonant + وا" = "consonant + â". Good pick-up, this should be reflected in WT:FA TR. I only remember words where وا follows خ

3. Missing ' against ع, especially word-initially: fa "scent". I assume we should be adding the apostrophe?

 * AT: 'atr. for ع is best to used ' in any position despite the actual pronunciation. Tajik uses ъ after or between vowels or nothing at the beginning.

(no 4 or 5)

6. Occasional short Latin a against long Arabic ا: fa "portmanteau". Is this always a mistake that should be corrected to â?

 * AT: Mistake. Correct = čamedân. (There are possibly some loanwords where non-initial ا after consonants is short but I am not aware)

7. No Latin hyphen against ZWNJ: fa "nonsense". Should we be auto-adding a hyphen?

 * AT: bi-ma'ni

8. Final h or no h against Arabic ه. Under what circumstances is this transliterated as h? Always, never or sometimes, and if sometimes, when? Currently my script deletes final h but I assume this is wrong in general. With final -eh, there appears to be no consistency in whether h appears: In this case should we be removing the h? If so, what about single-syllable -eh? fa "string", fa "fog", fa "village" etc. In other cases, I'm also removing the h but I assume this is wrong:
 * fa "Wednesday" vs.
 * fa "Thursday"
 * fa "month" -> mâ (WRONG?)
 * fa "march" -> râ peymâyi (WRONG?)
 * fa "abattoir" -> koštârgâ (WRONG?)
 * fa -> no (WRONG?)
 * fa -> anbu (WRONG?)

 * AT:
 * panj-šanbe, remove "h" where ه is in the final position after consonants but there may be some compound words where a vowel is different, not "e" (or "a" in classical or Dari).
 * meh - don't remove h in single-syllable words
 * mâh, koštârgâh, noh, anbuh - don't remove h where the vowel is not "e" (never after long vowels, such as gâh, koštârgâh or "anbuh" (don't forget that final "e" pronunciation applies to modern Iranian, not Dari or classical)
 * END AT:

9. Latin hyphen against Arabic space: Is it correct to change hyphen to space here?
 * fa "pumpkin" -> kadu halvâyi (RIGHT OR WRONG?)
 * fa "abattoir" -> sallâx xâne (RIGHT OR WRONG?)
 * fa "SMS" -> es em es (RIGHT OR WRONG?)
 * fa "anarchy" -> harj o marj (RIGHT OR WRONG?)

 * AT: There is some inconsistencies in using "-" there, also with Urdu. Some words have alternative spellings with ZWNJ (only between joining type of letters). E.g. can also be written as  (with ZWNJ),  or  (no ZWNJ, these are non-joining letters). ZWNJ is not always used by all writers, the letters can be joined or have a space between. The use of "-" is just to show that it is considered one word or for readability. Perhaps  or  shouldn't have hyphens but it's IMO, "es-em-es" might be easier to read if it's used in a longer sentence. (I transliterated words in #9 with my preference, dependent on Perso-Arabic spelling). I am less sure about the last two examples.

10. Canonicalizing ō to ô and ē to ê: Is this OK?
 * fa "west" -> xôrvarân (RIGHT OR WRONG?)
 * fa "fruit" -> mêva (RIGHT OR WRONG?)
 * fa "wall" -> bârô (RIGHT OR WRONG?)
 * AT: Yes, xôrvarân, mêva, bârô.

 * fa or fa "brown"

 * A few more examples of #3:
 * fa "etymology"
 * fa "abnormal"
 * fa "accordingly"
 * AT: " 'elm-e ešteqâq", "ğeyr-e 'âddi", "tabi'atan"
 * A few more examples of #6:
 * fa "abort"
 * fa "millennium"
 * AT: "afgâne", "dowrân talâyi" (the 2nd was totally wrong).
 * A couple more issues:
 * about assimilation of 'nb' -> 'mb': fa "pumpkin"; is this a mistake in translit or correct?
 * glottal stop in the middle of a word: fa "quiz"; should there be an apostrophe here?
 * AT: IMO "kadu tanbal" (unless specifically descibed in WT:FA TR). "ku'iz".

A few more questions ... I am focusing on getting the existing conversions mistake-free then I will expand coverage.

1. There are lots of cases of existing a corresponding to Arabic ا. Most of them are clearly mistakes that do need to be converted, but some of them are loanwords, and I want to see whether all of these should have a -> â. (If not, I can make the conversion script output a list of all such conversions, so that we can undo the ones that are wrong.) The following are the questionable cases among the first 5000 pages processed (out of about 35,000 or so pages with Persian translit on them); the three arguments to test are the Arabic script, the original translit and the translit as converted by my script: 2. I also have questions about the following three, which may be wrong: 3. There is this one, should it be "kwârk"? (If so it needs to be done manually.) 4. In this one, should it be "nega dâštan"? 5. Finally, I found a couple of cases with final ZWNJ. Are these errors? Thanks. Benwing2 (talk) 04:55, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

I will fix things so that polysyllabic words ending in -eh are changed to end in -e, if that makes sense to you. Also, you said this:
 * AT: it's "v" in front of vowels, "ow" in a diphthong. The rest is not described properly in the policy. E.g. . It's "vâv" but maybe it should be "vâw"?
 * AT: With the final ه, it should be based on pronunciation but unfortunately some people write "-eh", even knowing there is no "h" as in "panj-šanbeh" instead of the correct . Need to also pay attention to compound words. I can imagine there could be a small number of words where the last "ه" after a consonant is actually "eh", not "e"
 * Also when ه is "e", it can precede a ZWNJ + ا or ی or و.
 * Can you give me a few examples of this? Benwing2 (talk) 04:58, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Your example قهوه‌ای (qahve-i) above. [EDITED with answers above].--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:47, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, this is helpful. I see you corrected فیلادلفیا filâdelfiâ to filâdelfiyâ, is this always the case that there should be a y between i and a following vowel? If so I can have my script add it. As for کامیون kâmiyon, it looks like you added an i here. I don't think I can automatically add the i unless it's never possible to have a y following a consonant (which seems doubtful). As for v vs. w, should the policy be that kw- should be written with a w (and presumably also xw-, gw-, qw-, ğw-?) and all other cases of و outside of diphthongs aw ow and when not representing u should be written as v? Are there words with word-internal -kw-, -xw-, -gw-, etc.? I seem to have found some: fa (a compound?), fa (a compound?), fa, fa, fa "ajwain", fa. There are also words with -xv- in them: fa "herbivore", fa, tr, fa, fa-noun, fa etc. With -kv- I find fa, fa, fa, fa, fa. Benwing2 (talk) 06:29, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's filâdelfiyâ, râdiyom, kâmiyon. ـیا and "-iyâ" and ـيه "-iye" are common with geographical names.
 * Some of the cases with "خوا" should actually be "xâ", not "xwâ" with a silent "و", at least if we use modern Iranian as the default.
 * کیفرخواست - keyfarxâst (yes, it's a compound but ر is a non-joining letter, no ZWNJ is used here
 * خواستن -xâstan
 * ناخواهری - nâxâhari
 * دادخواه - dâdxâh
 * درخواست - darxâst

 * But
 * چرخ‌وار - čarx-vâr (compound, čarx + vâr)
 * Otherwise, the preference seems to be kv-, gv-. I am neutral on this

 * It seems "خوا" is always "xâ" - there are too many words (unless خ + و belong to different parts of a word). I wonder if editors add "w" knowing it's silent because of the Perso-Arabic spelling or for etymological reasons? Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:01, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, it sounds like I should (a) allow missing w across from و if followed by خ; (b) leave w alone if following k, x, g??; (c) otherwise convert to v (except in a diphthong, as mentioned above). Benwing2 (talk) 07:02, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sounds good. I'd like to add missing bits to WT:FA TR for clarity regarding these cases. "kv" or "gv" would be weird, knowing Persian dislikes initial consonant clusters, so "kw" or "gw", etc. would be more acceptable. So "v" only only if it's the consonant in the beginning of a syllable and "w" in a cluster or a final in a diphthong.

 * Hard to say in those Forvo pronuns. I hear a light /i/ in at least 2 of 3 pronuns of 'rusye' but not in 'maryam' and maybe in 'espâniya'; but keep in mind that English doesn't normally have /sj/ sequences, which assimilate to /ʃ/ so it may be just my untrained ear. As for خو, yes, preceded by خ. BTW what about û? I am finding lots of existing translits with û in them opposite و: fa, fa, fa, fa, etc. (and also lots with unmatched u that I assume should be o: fa, fa, fa, fa, etc.). Is it OK to make the conversion û/ū -> u, î/ī -> i, unmatched u -> o, unmatched i -> e or do we have to worry e.g. about Dari/Classical or something where these might be legit? Benwing2 (talk) 08:20, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Your assumptions are correct about the conversion. Unless there is a qualifier with Dari (or Afghanistan)/classical, then treat them as modern Iranian. They look like they are.
 * 'espânya' is also preferred to 'espâniya', 'rusye' to 'rusiye' if we assume that modern Iranian doesn't even have a short "i".
 * Or, have both 'rusiye' and 'rusye' vocalised as روسیِه, روسیَه.
 * Or, leave it for later to discuss with native speakers on a vote, etc. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm getting pretty close. Latest failure rate trying to match Persian spelling with Latin translit is 2890/51759 = 5.6% which is pretty good given how messed up so many of the transliterations are. My script is able to vocalize the Persian spelling in the process; this is what I did as well in the original version of the script, which handled Arabic. Is this something we want to do or should we put it off till later? Benwing2 (talk) 03:39, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the update. Take your time Apologies for many pings - there's always something that comes to mind when I think I missed something. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:41, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem with the pings. I have a question about unmatched â, which is frequent. It's one of the following:
 * Long â when it seemingly should be short. Are these all just mistakes? (but note these which are not a mistake: tr_matching(الهه, elâhe); tr_matching(الهیات, elâhiyât))
 * tr_matching(جارو برقی, jâru bârqi); tr_matching(راک اند رول, râk ând rol); tr_matching(سیبرنتیک, sâybernetik); tr_matching(تایلند, tâylând); tr_matching(نشان دادن, nešân dadân); tr_matching(متکلم به چند زبان, motekâllem be čand zabân); tr_matching(بلروسی, belârusi); tr_matching(شماره‌های طبیعی, šomārehā-ye tabī'ī) [this is a weird one]; tr_matching(مایکروویو, mâykrovâyv); tr_matching(غلط املایی, ğalaat-e emlâyi); tr_matching(روشنگری, rowšangâri)

 * AT: "â" -> "a" for all. When you see a long "â" for an unwritten vowel as in برقی or an a plain alif at the beginning of a word or after ZWNJ, you can substitute with a plain "a".

 * Long â against alif madda in the middle of a word not after ZWNJ (but usually after a non-joining letter); should we write an apostrophe or hyphen here?
 * tr_matching(درآمدن, darâmadan); tr_matching(درآشامنده, dārāšāmane); tr_matching(سود سوزآور, sud-e suzâvar); tr_matching(پاپوآ گینهٔ نو, pâpuâ gine-ye now); tr_matching(فرآویز, farâviz); tr_matching(کوآلا, koâlâ); tr_matching(رآکتور, reâktor); tr_matching(جنوآ, jenoâ); tr_matching(کروآت, koroât); tr_matching(زردآلو, zardâlu); tr_matching(برآمدن, barâmadan); tr_matching(پدیدآورنده, padidâvarande); tr_matching(مآبانه, -meâbâne); tr_matching(گاوآهن, gâvâhan); tr_matching(میوآن, myuân)

 * AT: let's use hyphen. It matches German-Persian Langenscheidt way (it's imperfect but good).
 * Long â against FARSI YEH in final position where it should be alif maqsuura; is this a spelling mistake in the Persian or should we allow the â?
 * tr_matching(مصلی, mosallâ); tr_matching(خنثی, xonsā); tr_matching(موسی, Musâ); tr_matching(عیسی, 'isâ); tr_matching(حتی, hattâ)

 * AT: There are cases where ی is read as "â" in Arabic loanwords, e.g. عیسی, 'isâ. Also in Urdu.
 * Long â against regular alif that should be alif madda; is this a spelling mistake in the Persian or should we allow it?
 * tr_matching(اما, âmma)

 * AT: A mistake.
 * Long â against fatha + alif; is this vocalization correct for Persian?
 * tr_matching(زُرنَاپَا, zurnāpā); tr_matching(زُرنَا, zurnā); tr_matching(آسَامِی, âsâmi)

 * AT: A fathe (zebar) is uncommon before an alef but it's not incorrect and doesn't affect anything negatively. (On the other hand, a kasre (zir) before a "yeh" or a zamme (pish) before a vâw would result in "ey" and "ow"). I would use زُرناپا, zornâpâ, زُرنا, zornâ, آسامی âsâmi (note: I have removed the zir on the last one, otherwise it would be âsâmey).
 * A weird case:
 * tr_matching(علیرغم, alâraqm)

 * AT: should be 'alârağm-e, synonym of . The first part  ('alâ is from Arabic ', another case where "â" should be allowed for the Farsi "yeh"

 * Thanks! BTW you didn't answer my question above about vocalizing the Persian script. I assume we should hold off on this? Benwing2 (talk) 04:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I personally support vocalisation. Beer_parlour/2021/December showed support, even if native speakers were cold about it. From the perspective of learners, it's definitely better. It's also untrue that Persian vocalisation is non-existent.
 * The pronunciation sections could also display alternative vocalisations where they differ. My example - modern Iranian vs  - Dari or classical in Grease_pit/2023/March
 * Module:fa-translit works pretty well based on vocalisations but it needs to cover more test cases and there are exceptions. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:06, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I have a question about the character sequence هٔ (U+0647 U+0654) that frequently occurs opposite Latin -ye. Examples:
 * tr_matching(امارات متحدهٔ عربی, emârât-e mottahede-ye 'arabi)
 * tr_matching(پاپوآ گینهٔ نو, pâpuâ gine-ye now)
 * tr_matching(آرایهٔ ادبی, ârâye-ye adabi)
 * tr_matching(چفتهٔ زانو, čafte-ye zānū)
 * There is also a similar single-char version ۀ (U+06C0) that my script correctly handles.
 * Is the two-char version acceptable or a mistake? I ask because if it's a mistake I'll canonicalize it to the one-char version and correct the Persian script in the examples I find. Benwing2 (talk) 05:51, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW as for vocalization it sounds like we should wait but try to push for consensus. Who are the currently active native-speaker editors? Benwing2 (talk) 05:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * They are visually identical, so I couldn't tell, which one is right.
 * The Persian keyboard offers (U+0647 U+0654). So this must be right one.
 * You can see who is has been active by calling but only Sameerhameedy is active lately, less so ZxxZxxZ, who is a long time contributor (opposes vocalization). Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:18, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OK thanks. ZxxZxxZ's name appears in the comments of some modules I have written because they were an early contributor. I checked the current Persian lemmas and the single-char ۀ doesn't occur in any lemmas but the two-char version هٔ (which looks different in my font; the hamza above is separated by significantly more whitespace from the heh) occurs in two lemmas: چلهٔ تابستان and چلهٔ زمستان. More evidence that the two-char version is right. Another weird char that shows up sometimes is ہ, which is HEH GOAL. Wiktionary calls this choṭī he and says it's an Urdu char. I take it this is a mistake and should be replaced with regular ه? Benwing2 (talk) 06:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I dealt with a bunch of other little issues with weird Arabic chars as well as Latin chars in the Persian script e.g.  and. Going to sleep now but I'm basically ready to run it; I just have to ensure that existing short vowel diacritics in the Persian script don't cause problems and add an option to turn off auto-vocalization since we're apparently not doing it now (?). Latest failure rate is 2332/53890 = 4.3%. This still leaves 2000+ cases to check manually but I am hitting the point of diminishing returns, and the manual checking can be sped up by doing it in a text file and pushing all the changes at once.

 * Hi,
 * Another case where a Persian "ye" is "â" (Middle Ages).
 * German-Persian dictionary:
 * https://en.langenscheidt.com/german-persian/mittelalter
 * It's interesting that in Urdu, they want to vocalise it with یٰ as in قُرُونِ وُسْطیٰ (Middle Ages), cf. مَشْرِقِ وُسْطیٰ (Middle East).
 * It's probably a good alternative to zebar (fatha) but I have to yet to find such usage in Persian. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:16, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Failure rate is now 2248/73918 = 3.0% after implementing support for Persian-specific templates; multiple translits (comma-separated or tilde-separated, etc.) opposite a single Persian-script spelling; fatha+alif opposite â; and a few other things. I need a few more changes in the driver, then I will run it. Benwing2 (talk) 01:33, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW that is a dagger alif (alif xanjariyya) over the alif maqsuura, an old Koranic usage. Benwing2 (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks.
 * Yes, I know about alif xanjariyya as in but is it supposed to be used over the alif maqsuura? In Arabic alif maqsuura is vocalised with a fatha:  or .
 * I guess a serious difference between Persian/Urdu and Arabic is that Arabic has both letters yaa' and alif maqsuura but in Urdu and Persian "ye" is used for both. A fatha before a "ye" would mean "ay" but an alif xanjariyya before "ye" makes it a long "â". Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes exactly. I have occasionally seen dagger alif over alif maqsuura in vocalized Arabic as well but it's not standard. Benwing2 (talk) 02:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If we start considering vocalisations, need to address some of the corner cases. There may not be a definite way, since vocalised Persian is much less common.
 * Almost predictably, a silent و is not vocalised in when a vocalisation is needed. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the non-usage of sukuun in Persian will potentially cause issues here. Maybe we should always assume و is silent in خوا. BTW the current Persian templates are kind of messy and should be cleaned up. E.g. fa-adv, fa-conjunction, fa-interjection, fa-phrase, fa-preposition, fa-pronoun don't really accomplish anything and IMO should be eliminated in favor of directly calling head, and some of the other templates have weird and non-standard param usages that could stand to be cleaned up and standardized. There's also things like fa-verb/new, fa-IPA/old etc. that are in a halfway state. Maybe after the translit cleanup I will try to clean these templates up, any objections? Do we need to bring in other Persian editors (if they still exist)? Benwing2 (talk) 02:23, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW I didn't run my test script on terms with manual translit in headwords (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/headword/has-manual-translit/fa) but only on terms with manual translit in links (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/links/manual-tr/fa). This adds a bunch more cases, with some overlap with the previous set of cases. Failure rate here is 1514/38603 = 3.9% but I'm not yet handling all the conjugation/declension templates. Benwing2 (talk) 02:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * sukuun is best to use to avoid confusions in most cases, "خوا" is a special case but it's used in over nuun. This reminds me more of Arabic sun letters where there is nothing (unmarked) over laam in.

One more question, about stress in Persian. The fa-decl-c and fa-decl-c-unc templates have a param 4= that is a translit with stress mark added. You can see an example of this in شهادت. (Some uses of this template do not specify 4=, e.g. گوز.) Is the stress predictable and is it worth keeping the existing stress marks in uses of this template? My script normally removes all acute and grave accents from the Latin translit. Benwing2 (talk) 01:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Yes, the stress is predictable but there are a few exceptions. Probably not worth keeping. The inflection templates will need to be reviewed so that they are automatically added if someone objects. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:32, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Oh yeah one other thing, my script currently converts e.g. bâğ-e-vahš to bâğ-e vahš opposite باغ وحش. I assume this is fine but just want to make sure. Benwing2 (talk) 01:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Yep. That's fine. I have sometimes added redundant hyphens in Persian and Urdu translations for etymological reasons or to match whole words in source or equivalent languages (Hindi, English or Persian). E.g. =  -> "ciṛiyā ghar". Or because some dictionaries I used, have them.
 * Fine to convert when it's unjustified. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:34, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

One more question ... I have been canonicalizing ey + vowel to iy + vowel. Is it correct to do the same thing to eyy + vowel? There are some places where it seems to work well, e.g. فعالیت variously transliterated as fa'âliyyat or fa'âleyyat on the same page, but there's also the case of سید which is given the IPA of sayyid and the current transliteration of seyyed, which my script would canonicalize to siyyed, which may not be correct. (Another such case: عیاشی with current translit 'eyyâši.) Benwing2 (talk) 05:13, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW if my script can't match the Persian and translit, it falls back to "self-canonicalization" of each individually, which only does changes that are relatively safe. Most of the time this fixes problems, but occasionally it makes mistaken translits worse (so many existing translits are all messed up). Once I run the script I will publish a list of cases where it couldn't match and self-canonicalization made a change to the translit or the Persian, so we can review them and fix the mistakes. Benwing2 (talk) 05:18, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It's the same problem as with 'espâniya'. You correctly observed that a short "i" happens before "y" in some words but it's more like an Arabic nisba (sg or pl) but there are words where "e" before "y" is legit as well, like "seyyed" or "'eyyâši". It has to do with the etymology, which the script won't be able to pick up. "seyyed" is from "sayyid" with a common vowel change, same with 'eyyâši, which is from ʕayyāšī. Anatoli T.

 * Hmm, what about single ey + vowel -> iy + vowel, is this also problematic? Benwing2 (talk) 06:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you give an example or two of that? Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:32, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It's to correct e.g. Ligureyâ (= Liguria) -> liguriyâ and ریاض reyâz -> riyâz. I think it may be wrong though as it corrects eyâlât -> iyâlât and سیک siyak, seyek -> siyak, siyek. Benwing2 (talk) 06:40, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It's my guess here. It should be for modern Iranian لیگوریا "liguriyâ" (espâniyâ case) and the rest - ریاض "reyâz" and سیک "seyek" (= سه‌یک se-yek). Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:56, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks, I'll make it so that -eyâ -> -iyâ but otherwise i or e before y stays as-is. Benwing2 (talk) 07:58, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Yep, hopefully. It may include plurals, other word forms and derivatives. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:13, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I am doing (yet another) run on all 38,151 pages with manual Persian translit. I will see which words get changed -eyâ -> -iyâ to verify that it's safe. This is probably the last change I'll make, and I'll probably run the script with  tomorrow. Benwing2 (talk) 08:17, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW I mentioned above the need for manual review in the cases where a match couldn't be made and self-canonicalization made a change. This will be on the order of ~750 cases to review and correct if necessary. The reviewing will be done in a single text file to speed things up. A few examples:

Page 936 jump: WARNING: Unable to match-canon پایین پریدن (paein paridan): Unable to match Arabic character ی at index 3, Latin character n at index 4 [self-canon Latin paein paridan -> paeyn paridan]: پایین پریدن  پایین پریدن Page 967 fuchsia: WARNING: Unable to match-canon فوکسیه (fūksīye): Unable to match trailing Latin character y at index 5 [self-canon Latin fūksīye -> fûksîye]:  Page 1244 Briton: WARNING: Unable to match-canon بریتانیایی (berīṭāniyāyī): Unable to match Arabic character ت at index 3, Latin character ṭ at index 4 [self-canon Latin berīṭāniyāyī -> berîtâniyâyî]: بریتانیایی  بریتانیایی Page 1506 common: WARNING: Unable to match-canon شایع (šâyee): Unable to match trailing Latin character ê at index 3 [self-canon Latin šâyee -> šâyê]:  Page 1528 condition: WARNING: Unable to match-canon شرط (wart): Unable to match Arabic character ش at index 0, Latin character w at index 0 [self-canon Latin wart -> vart]:
 * In these examples, the first one has paein -> paeyn for پایین; I don't know what's right here. The second one should have i instead of î. The third one may be correct but the matching got confused by ṭ opposite ت. The fourth one has a weird translit šâyee -> šâyê for شایع, which maybe should be šâyi'. The fifth one seems to have wart in place of šart. Benwing2 (talk) 08:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much!
 * It's obviously hard to convert incorrect transliterations when there is no pattern. it makes a bit of sense to do fūksīye->fûksîye->fuksiye and berīṭāniyāyī->berîtâniyâyî->beritâniyâyi
 * From the above, the correct translit is on the right:
 * پایین - pâyin
 * فوکسیه - fuksiye
 * بریتانیایی - beritâniyâyi
 * شایع - šâye'
 * شرط - šart
 * Any unmatched conversions I can go through and fix manually. If you dump them into a page a with links to page where they occur, I will go through it over time. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:47, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

As for the module, I am working on adding auto-stress and incorporating the Tehrani and Kabuli pronunciation changes, so we can conver the remaining uses of fa-IPA/old.

Dari Transliterations
@Atitarev @Benwing2 the module is changing the transliteration of Dari-Specific words to Iranian Persian. For example, if you look at this revision, all of the Dari names for the Gregorian months have been changed to Iranian Transliteration, despite Iranian Persian not using any of these spellings. Earlier one of you we're discussing the possibility of linking multiple transliterations to the same entry, perhaps we could look into that?? I feel like it would prevent these kinds of issues. Also on pages where both the Dari and Iranian transliteration were listed, the Dari is converted to Iranian Persian. Causing the Header to list the same transliteration twice. Maybe the Module can avoid changing words if it causes a word to be listed twice?? Sameerhameedy (talk) 00:58, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * There are several things going on here. One is in reference to the bot run that I did to clean up transliterations. I had it skip cases where it could figure out that it was a Dari or Classical word; it did this by looking for the words 'Dari' or 'Classical' in the nearby text, and for whatever reason it didn't see the word 'Dari' stashed away in a template parameter. Another issue has to do with transliteration moduless. In this case the transliterations are manual so the transliteration module wouldn't apply, but in general we now have support (courtesy of User:Theknightwho) for different transliteration schemes for different etymology languages. In order for this to work, we'd have to (a) use 'prs' instead of 'fa' as the language code, and (b) have all the right diacritics in place. A big issue is that the Arabic script doesn't natively have diacritics to distinguish ē from ī and ō from ū; we'd have to do some sort of hack. (Support for this now exists as well but we'd have to figure out a reasonable scheme.) Finally, in reference to avoiding changing words if it causes a word to be listed twice, my bot run (but probably not the transliteration module) could potentially have done that, although in most cases there should have been the word 'Dari' nearby. In any case, I probably won't be running that bot script again for awhile. Benwing2 (talk) 01:46, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

About calques of country names
There might already be an unwritten community approval regarding country names. If you look at the English entries for official country names, many of them are noted as calque. See Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Islamic Republic of Iran, People's Republic of China, United Mexican States.

Moreover, through this pattern of thinking I just yesterday was able to discern calques of country names.

In the GDR, the name of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (<= the direct translation from Korean) was Koreanische Volksdemokratische Republik instead of Demokratische Volksrepublik Korea. It might seem trivial but there is a real semantic difference. I'm pretty sure the GDR directly translated the name from the Warsaw Pact's lingua franca: Корейская Народно-Демократическая Республика. Just like Polish Koreańska Republika Ludowo-Demokratyczna, which features that same semantic nuance.

Oh well, where are we: I just wanted to showcase to you the potential of such inclusions would have, as through discerning the semantic differences in country names one can trace paths as to how diplomacy and spreading of information worked throughout the times and areas.

самодельное взрывное устройство
The term improvised explosive device was coined during the Northern Ireland conflict. While equivalent in other languages like German don't exactly match the English term, the Russian term does.

Revert on дрочить
The definition was a string of male-centric slang words. In current modern Russian as of the 2020s this word is in general use by girls and women, as well as significantly by males as applied to girls and women, and is hence not male-centric, and aside from still being vulgar is otherwise the default unmarked (but vulgar) word for to masturbate. Even in males (and in females, by both or all sexes) it is widely used in reference to things such as anal masturbation to which the English words as currently on the page are not applicable and are defining the word incorrectly. So I updated the definition to primarily feature "to masturbate" and secondarily "to jerk off" as an echo of what it perhaps was, and removed the slang label, but I kept it as vulgar. That is, I propose the word in modern Russian above all primarily means to masturbate -- various genitals or erogenous zones variously, and not any male-genitals centric "whack off" to the exclusion of everything else that is not about masturbating the penis, but unlike English "to masturbate" the word cannot be used in formal language, where primarily мастурбировать replaces it.

Should we include the diaeresis in page names for terms with ѣ̈?
is obviously very rare, as we only have entries for it in one pre-reform lemma - - as well as the inflections of four others:, ,  and.

At the moment, we don't include it in page titles (e.g. гнѣздышко), but this seems inconsistent with our treatment of. It also leads to confusion at гнѣзда, where we have and, which are different inflections of the same term.

My gut feeling is that we should take the same approach as, by including it as part of the page title. Though it's unlikely to happen, there could plausibly be a multi-word term with and, and it would be very weird to remove the diaeresis from one but not the other. Theknightwho (talk) 15:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Both options have their amenities, I have no strong opinion. The analogy may recommend its presence in the page title. It is weird though and hence somewhat unexpected to retroactively apply a standard to an orthography that was out of use when the standard was created. Note also the forms,  and so on. Fay Freak (talk) 15:49, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Theknightwho: Hi. I’d leave as is. Diaeresis over ё is not considered as a diacritic, it is a letter of the alphabet (with reduced usage) but ѣ̈ is totally artificial, only a means to tweak the transliteration, perhaps it should even be invisible to users. @Benwing2?

 * @Atitarev Yeah - I am curious if it saw historical use in texts, because the evidence from dictionaries suggests it probably did.

Benwing2 (talk) 06:50, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2, @Sameerhameedy:
 * Thanks. I personally think, working on the modularisation would be good as a start, allowing the unnamed first parameter as a vocalised form, variety parameters per the suggestions above (default to Iranian Persian but allow others with labels related transliterations). Please see the agreed Wiktionary_talk:Persian_transliteration, scroll down to Option2, headwords on multiple lines.
 * Rework the IPA module and fix transliteration module are probably the priorities. The pronunciation template should probably look similar to Korean or Chinese options above offered by Sameerhameedy at User_talk:Atitarev, whatever is best.

Спасибо and neo-pagans
I don't say that спасибо has any Christian connotations, but that many neo-pagans do see these connotations because of etymology. I am not a neo-pagan by any way and I'm tired of their folk-etymology-stuff, but the neo-pagan use of благодарю may be considered as a sociolect (kinda New Age slang). See also. Tollef Salemann (talk) 09:17, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm agree that it can be good to have some decent sources/researches on neo-pagan slang (родноверский новояз?). But I stongly disagree in the orientation towards the majority. In fact, many people do care about the "right" accents and the "real" meaning of words. As example, if I don't like use of endings like, it doesn't mean they ain't exist. Folk etymology does have impact on re-combination of words and their popularity. But in the case with the neo pagan slang, it is probably hard to find a good statistics on word use, and make any objective conclusions. Tollef Salemann (talk) 15:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

 * BTW, I noticed that Tajik on "eron" or "afġoniston" is in lower case. It's OK if it's automatically generated but if you use or  you'll get the right case. (or capy, as in Korean, which will only capitalise Tajik).
 * I like that you're embracing vocalisation. Are you planning to use sokun, e.g. /کِشوَر/ or /کِشْوَر/? Also, will vocalisations be part of the headword?
 * You can ping me on the project's or template's talk page, so that we don't spread discussion all over the place. I'm adding them to watchlist.

translations
Thanks for fixing the diacritic thing, I noticed two other issues though. 1) Dari translations don't redirect to the Persian entry, they just redirect to the page itself?? e.t. تیرم should be (and it used to be) equivalent to تیرم but now it isn't. Also I have the gadget that shows yellow links for pages that exist but don't have an entry for the corresponding language. It shows Dari in yellow even if there is a Persian entry. Any idea why that's happening? 2) when using t+ for Dari it doesn't redirect to Persian wiktionary. forwards to the page prs:الماری for example. I suspect this has something to do with namespaces because if you search up "fa: " it'll redirect to Persian wiktionary. سَمِیر | Sameer (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 04:18, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

 * @Sameerhameedy I have fixed the data modules for the translation adder gadget and Module:wikimedia languages/data but I suspect there are some code changes needed for the translation modules themselves to fix these issues. Benwing2 (talk) 05:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 thank you for fixing it 🙏🙏. But yellow link issue (see above) is still happening for me though, any idea why?  سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 05:23, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Sameerhameedy, @Benwing2:
 * It would be possible to fix the interwiki links, although I think it may only work for one selected language. You will find that (language code "cmn") links to 中國 ("zh", not "cmn" remotely (external wiki) but to  中國 locally.
 * Thanks for fixing, @Benwing2. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:26, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, what is the diacritic thing that Sameer is referring to? The fix for it needs to go into Module:etymology languages/data. Benwing2 (talk) 05:28, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The diacritic is fixed. "prs" got the same handling (copy) as "fa" in the Module:language modules.
 * Should all Persian language code (prs, fa-ira, fa, fa-cls) link to "fa" entries? Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:30, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev Yes, probably as a general rule all etymology languages should link to the correct full-language Wiktionary unless there's an entry in an exceptions table. Let me see about implementing that. Benwing2 (talk) 05:32, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. @Benwing2, I am not sure I agree with . The idea of adding "prs" was to nest Persian\Dari. If it's redirected to "fa", it won't work as intended. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev That diff only affects the interwikt linking, as far as I know. This was requested by Sameer above. I don't think it affects the actual translation module used. Benwing2 (talk) 05:42, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2. OK, no redirects now but attempts to add translations with "prs" with a translation adder gives the error "The parameter "<strong class" is not used by this template." Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:49, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev Hmm, did it work before? I added something to the translation adder for prs that might be wrong. Benwing2 (talk) 05:50, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2: Yes, it did. I made a few edits on modules today. It may be hacky but made the desired outcome for Dari (prs), except for links to "fa".
 * I'm not sure what to do with longer codes like "fa-ira" and "fa-cls". They don't fit into Module: language methods and not able to add translit modules to language modules. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:54, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev Can you clarify what you mean by "not sure what to do with longer codes 'fa-ira'"? It shouldn't matter whether the codes are short or long. Benwing2 (talk) 05:55, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW what we need to do is fix the translation adder to know about etymology-only languages, which is what 'prs', 'fa-ira' and 'fa-cls' are. Benwing2 (talk) 05:56, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I will take a look. Benwing2 (talk) 05:57, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Module:languages/data/2 has "fa"
 * Module:languages/data/3/p has "prs"
 * Adding the translit module Module:fa-ira-translit to Module:languages/data/2 (for "fa") will generate errors. It doesn't like the module name or its categorisations.
 * Myself and I understand @Sameerhameedy wants to permanently separate Iranian Persian/Dari/Classical Persian into different transliteration modules (vocalisations and transliterations differ), which should make the translation adder work with separate language codes (link to "fa") but allow automated nesting, e.g. "prs" should nest translations Persian\Dari, "fa-ira" should nest "Persian\Iranian Persian".
 * "fa" should still work. Probably default to everything "Iranian Persian". Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev Let me look into how it's implemented; I think you need to add the translit module for fa-ira to Module:etymology languages/data. Since 'prs' is an etymology-only language, it should not go into Module:languages/data/3/p (which is for full languages), which is why I removed it. Benwing2 (talk) 06:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * balti uses Module:fa-ira-translit (and it seems to work on balti entries) so I don't believe the name is the issue. fa-ira should also be connected to Module:fa-ira-translit, but the etymology codes "fa-cls" "prs" and "haz" should all use Module:fa-cls-translit. ("Since Tajik terms in the Arabic script are usually treated as "fa" not sure if this would be needed for Tajik. But maybe we can add it for "tg" as well just as a precaution?) سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 06:18, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sameerhameedy What should plain 'fa' use as translit? Benwing2 (talk) 06:20, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 I personally would prefer if the code "fa" was dialect neutral (kinda like "zh"). I think if "fa" wasn't dialect neutral it would make writing headers for Classical and Dari terms messy... But @Atitarev seemed to (somewhat) disagree with that when I suggested it. سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 06:29, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sameerhameedy What do you mean by "dialect neutral"? Can you spell out how things would look in that scenario? Maybe we can find something that works for everyone. Benwing2 (talk) 06:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 I guess I was thinking of some variation of this User:Sameerhameedy/example entry. سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 07:03, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sameerhameedy: “dialect neutral” is meaningless if we have translations and entries using this code. If we choose one vocal./translit. method as default, then fa can use fa-ira. The reality is 99% of wiktionary Persian contents is in modern Iranian.
 * To change that, a large bot work would be required to seaparate eg Iranian from classical, etc. Think about what should happen with thousands of translations. “zh” is not used intentionally at Wiktionary but it defaults to Mandarin handling for translit purposes. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:55, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I literally have no idea what catastrophic event you are alluding to, considering all persian links thus far have manual transliterations. There are also other separate languages with fewer differences on Wiktionary. Being honest if Iranian Persian and Dari were written phonemically (with all vowels) they would probably be treated as separate. I think being able to combine them is beneficial, one large dictionary is definitely the best solution for Persian. But, I don't think it makes any sense to prioritize Iranian Persian just because Dari is an LDL. Also Iranian Persian has the most phonemic mergers of all modern dialects, so it's harder to convert Iranian Persian to other dialects than vice versa, with that in mind I was planning on making fa-ira more specific to Iranian Persian's phonology (transliterating ق as ğ for example). سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 07:16, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sameerhameedy @Atitarev One possibility is to have no transliteration in place for 'fa' and have auto-translit for 'fa-ira' (which IMO should be called 'fa-IR'), 'fa-cls' (which probably should be called 'fa-cla', for consistency e.g. with 'la-cla' = Classical Latin and the general way we do such codes), and 'prs', each according to their own rules. The other possibility, as Anatoli suggests, is to have 'fa' use the same translit as 'fa-ira' and require that one of the other codes be used to get a different translit. Anatoli is right that the vast majority of terms currently on Wiktionary are effectively Iranian Persian. But since there's no current auto-translit defined, we can define the vocalization however we want; one reasonable thing to do is to use Classical vocalization, so the module can generate pronunciations for all the different varieties without too much trouble. BTW did we ever agree on a way of distinguishing /eː/ from /iː/ and /oː/ from /uː/ in vocalization? Benwing2 (talk) 07:39, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 The modules were named after the language codes which I didn't make, we can change them though if you want.
 * Yes the classical vocalization is detailed here (note Dari diacritics are actually not standardized and this is just one of many ways Dari is vocalized. But this was is in-line with Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, Uzbek, etc). For the Iranian style vocalization we use on wiktionary, there is probably no way to distinguish those vowels. But it seems there are also multiple ways to vocalize Iranian Persian. So I suppose Iranian Persian could use the classical vocalization, but it would be very different from all Iranian vocalizations so far. سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 07:49, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sameerhameedy Hmm, it looks like the way of indicating the ē and ō vowels is simply to leave out the diacritic. This seems less than optimal, as it doesn't make it possible to distinguish vocalized from unvocalized text. Is there any way of having some specific diacritics to indicate the ē and ō? Benwing2 (talk) 18:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 afaik, no. Unless we pick a random diacritic and use that. But that might be confusing to readers. سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 21:44, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sameerhameedy: No catastrophic event will happen but what do you wish to do with all those manual transliterations, where the Iranian schema is dominant? Having one-to-many relationships from Iranian to other varieties doesn’t make the conversion easier. If they are identified as matching one of the schemas, they could all be converted to the new code and appropriate nesting on translations. If most contributors prefer to use Iranian, defaulting fa to Iranian would make sense. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:13, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev I checked and the translation table just converts "zh" to "cmn" (at least that's what it did when I typed it in). If that's what your suggesting that's fine by me.  سَمِیر | Sameer  (مشارکت‌ها • کتی من گپ بزن) 08:37, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

радейка
Hi, there is a Telegram video of an interview on Yuri Shcherbakov on getting the Hero of Russia award (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/73145 at 02:09). He spoke of information he received в радейке. This is not in Wiktionary. Is this likely to mean радио or рация? A diminutive of radio, or of walkie-talkie? The subtitles on Telegram say it means "radio", but pictures of it on the Internet look more like walkie-talkies. Maybe it could go in Wiktionary?2A00:23C8:A785:3B01:E26F:656B:C914:883D 10:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
