Talk:Chajul

message: While I am grateful for those that have contributed to this page so far, I am sad that it focuses exclusively on the negative aspects of Chajul. It is important to cover the effects of the civil war and the current issues, but not covering the positive aspects does a disservice to the Ixil of Chajul.
Why not have a section that mentions different non-profits that are making a difference? Philantropiece, Limitless Horizons Ixil and ASOIXIL are three examples (and that last one is founded and run by Chajul locals!) 
Other positive aspects could be the yearly festivals, the strength of the Ixil language and culture, and the beauty of the the textiles that the Ixil women produce. The vibrancy of the Catholic and Protestant churches could be another section. 
I also would like to see the source for the "2002 study" that states that "less than 1% of children graduate from high school (5% from middle school)." Maybe it is just dated, but having spent a month there in 2014, I can affirm that there were a LOT of kids in high school and college. I know there is at least one young man who is finishing his master's degree!
I would do this all myself but don't yet have the time. If you know about Chajul and can beat me to it, I would be most appreciative!
Thank you,

message: I lived for a time in S.E. Mexico and northern Central America in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Whenever I had a weekend or a few days free I'd take bus trips.  While I encountered many US tourists and expats, I don't recall hearing the phrase "chicken bus" at the time. (I'm not sure the phrase didn't exist back then, just that I don't recall hearing it until later.)  When was the phrase originated and how was it popularized?  When I first heard it I thought it was a deliberate insult. -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:41, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Nazis, Communists, Klansmen, and Others on the Fringe

message: The chart with 3 columns has persisted essentially unchanged for over 3 years. Even if we expected column 3 to be populated in more than 2 rows, it would be an awkward misuse of the format; structure of sections and subsections would do the job better. As it stands, a section presenting the structure as an outline, a 'graph for the summary of the Preface, and a hierarchical list for the catch-all chapter will serve better. --Jerzy•t 18:34, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Anyone want to help me start a section on the video game based on the book? I happen to own a copy of it as well as the original manual. The video game contains the plot of the book as a special mission, features red flag training exercises and a fictional reenactment of B-52 missions during the 1st Gulf War. Interestingly, the game is surprisingly in-depth in how much it demands of the player to conduct electronic warfare, stealth, flight planning and so on. Way ahead of its time.
Anyways, does anyone else think the video game is worth mentioning in this article? Or should we start a new one? I am fairly new to Wikipedia so I need some help.
Thanks.

message: Hi  why did you not change religions their are no Hindu temples found in Southern Afghanistan for Gods sake (or any think related to Hinduism) this is politically and religiously motivated I just checked this some 2 year ago and nothing of this sort was added some Indians have added (and it went unnoticed) even Heinrich Zimmer the historian never claimed that Southern Afghans were Hindus just some Pashtuns that live close to the Gandharan regions.  
There is nothing related to Hinduism found in Afghanistan apart from border regions I do agree that Pashtuns were Buddhist but not Hindus.
No Historians claimed that Afghans were Hindus even if some did some don't.
Their is no proof that Pashtuns were Hindus only the Pashtuns in Eastern Afghanistan near Kabul and Nangarhar in Eastern Afghanistan practiced Hinduism close to the Pakistani border the vast majority of them also have some Dardic ancestry then the Pashtuns of the traditional South, their are no Hindu temples found in Southern Afghanistan of Ram, Shiva or Hanuman or Ganesh etc this trying to culturally assimilate other people in the (Indian sphere of influence) Hinduism is a Castist religion which Pashtuns are completely opposite off.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2402:E280:3D48:133:DDA:5161:4C62:23B6 (talk) 13:53, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Klasik

message: Afghan ragas, in contrast to Indian ones, tend to be more focused on rhythm, and are usually played with the tabla, imported from India, or the native zerbaghali, daireh or dohol, all percussive instruments.
The above, taken from the article, is a rather confusing sentence. A raga is a melodic entity, whereas here the word seems to imply the name of a type of performance. It is difficult to tell. Another possible impression is that the raga is played with (i.e. primarily expressed by) the tabla etc. rather than played along with tabla accompaniment.
I dont know if its just me though, so for now I have made no changes. 217.38.138.144 (talk) 13:24, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

message: This article provided a lot of resources with a lot of information. The information was pretty broad though, she should go into more detail about the topics talked about. For example, she talks about how similar the sublanguages of The Pamir languages are, but doesn't provide any details about what the similarities are. Also, she should focus more on information about the munji language itself, she mentioned some facts about it but mostly compared it to the other languages. Lastly, I think she should provide a little more history of the language, it felt a little incomplete. Overall, she has a good structure and outline, she just needs a little more details and elaboration on the topic.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aubreerose94 (talk • contribs) 17:22, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Number of speakers 

message: The article Sheikhwar language was recently created. In its current form it cites two totally unreliable news items, which mention in passing a "Sheikhwar" language of Chitral without it being clear what that language is, the Ethnologue entry for Kamviri , whose recent version I can't access but as of 2016 its only relevant content was the listing of "Shekhani" as an alternative name for that language, and this news item, which says "Shekhani" has been used by linguists for both Kamviri and Katavari. The last statement matches what's on Glottolog, so I'm going to retarget the redirect  from Kamviri dialect to the present aricle Kamkata-vari language (which covers both Kamviri and Katavari). As for "Sheikhwar", it does appear to just be another form for "Shekhani" (-war is a Khowar suffix for language names), so I'm going to turn that article into a redirect (we don't need separate articles for each language name) and point it here as well. In the interest of completeness I'll also mention Sheikhgal of Kashmir, but that's most likely a completely unrelated variety. – Uanfala (talk) 13:52, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Some articles and linguists consider Shekhani as a dialect of Kata-vari spoken in Chitral.  I believe Sheikhwar is the Khowar name for the language like you cited above.  I searched up Shekhani on Ethnologue and it also said it’s a dialect of Kata-Vari.  So can some change the name of the article to Shekhani language? 76.69.102.17 (talk) 15:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
