Dari language
Kwami, do you agree with these edits to Dari language? [1] CorinneSD (talk) 19:58, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- That is a very bad edit that screws up the page. --JorisvS (talk) 20:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- It isn't just that the editor has no idea how to edit WP, but that they don't know what "Persian" means. — kwami (talk) 20:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Faetar
Hello,
You seem to have moved Faetar to Faetar dialect (), with an empty set of parentheses.

- That will be cleaned up. — kwami (talk) 20:14, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Norwegian vowel chart
Hello. I found a template similar to this one (at the right). I used it to make the Standard Eastern Norwegian vowel chart out of it. I based it on the formant values from Gjert Kristoffersen - The phonology of Norwegian. Could you take a look at the vowel chart I made and see if it's in agreement with the formant values from Kristoffersen (2000)? I'm sure that /øː/ is more or less where it should be, as Kristoffersen himself sometimes uses ⟨ɵː⟩ to transcribe it. The formant values are here and my vowel chart is here (the values at the top are F2-F1.) [I sent the same message to Peter Roach, but it's better to have two points of view, rather than one.] Peter238 (talk) 12:25, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- I checked a few, incl. /ø:/, and they look fine. Interesting that /w/ is close to /ʉ/ rather than to /u/. That is worth commenting on, or maybe even including in the chart. — kwami (talk) 17:21, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Actually, [w] is the second element of the diphthong /æw/ (transcribed /æʉ/ on Wikipedia), as well as a non-phonemic glide inserted between /ʉ(ː)/ and another vowel. In narrow transcription, Kristoffersen transcribes this sound as [w̟], which can easily be interpreted as labio-prevelar. I think it's better to create a separate vowel chart with diphthongs (of which [j, w] are the second elements), which is very easy - their starting points are exactly the same as the corresponding monophthongs. I'll wait for Peter's response though, seems like he'd like to tweak my chart somewhat (which I'm fine with). Peter238 (talk) 17:57, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi
Hello
I am sorry if I have violated any guidelines. Still not sure how this works. I wasn't even aware anyone had reverted any of the modifications I had done. Can you please let me know why the change from Oriya to Odia is not correct when the name has been officially changed by the government. Appreciate any help in getting this clarified. Thanks.
Hi Kwami,
I need the page for adding information onto the one in the main namespace. I don't know what are tracking categories but if I need to change the page's name, that's ok for me. Although I definitely don't want to delete the page. Thank you --Universal Life (talk) 00:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
