Talk:Hunsrik

message: Dear Carlos,
Thank you for your interest in a subject that matters very much to me. I grew up speaking Riograndenser Hunsrückisch and it was a great pleasure to write about it here in Wikipedia. I intend to expand this article with time.
I would like to ask you to please reconsider your "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch language" redirect and revert it to its original "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch". Could you please do that? Thanks!
Let me explain something further: "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch" is not a 'language' per se but a Germanic 'dialect'.
Although "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch" sometimes is called simply "Hunsrückisch" in southern Brazil, this could be confusing to readers here in Wikipedia because "Hunsrückisch" is a dialect which originated in Germany and is still being spoken there to this day. Obviously here are differences between the two variants.
Thanks again!

thread_title: Brazilian attitude towards German

message: The second iteration of the Gospel of Luke passage, which appears after the Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (Ursula Wiesemann orthography) sample, currently bears the title/heading "The same text in a spelling based on Standard German spelling:". This raises the expectation that the passage under this title will also be in Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (RH), but spelled using an orthography based on that of standard German. However, the passage shown there is fully in standard German; it is not merely "in a spelling based on Standard German spelling". The heading should read something more like, "The same passage in standard German:", as "the same text" (emphasis mine) implies the exact same RH words, and "in a spelling based on Standard German spelling" definitely indicates the passage is merely spelled in a manner more familiar to readers of standard German (while not actually being in standard German). →What was the intent of the person who created this? Do you want RH here in a Standard-like orthography, or do you want standard German? Either the heading or the sample text needs to be changed accordingly.--IfYouDoIfYouDon't (talk) 20:59, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, this is Standard German according to the Schlachter Bible. I went ahead and changed this in the article.  Andreas  (T) 15:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

message: Imperadors Stop adding unsourced information that this language is also spoken in Paraguay, Argentina and Venezuela. Why would people speak this in Venezuela, which borders Northern Brazil, when this language is restricted to Southern Brazil, thousands of miles away from Venezuela?

replies: text: Hi Xuxo, thanks for your contribution in the article and also for your comments. I think you didn't read the references included in the article pointing these facts. For Argentina and Paraguay, you can clearly see it here. In case you don't want to go through the whole document, pages 33, 47, 50, 52, 120 and 180 describe the extension of the language in these regions and also its migration process. This is one of the biggest researches about the language and currently the most reliable source that you can get about it. For these places, there is no doubt about the use of the language. In Venezuela's case, I included it by referencing some papers and, as far as I know, all of them point to Ethnologue's research about Hunsrik. You can find this one here. And considering Ethnologue's bad reputation, I really agree of removing Venezuela from the list. -- Imperadors (talk) 23:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
