Talk:List of Mayan languages

message: This is looking quite good. With a little more attention, the addition of some explanatory context, cites/refs and years for the figures and maybe a location map, this could worked into a Featured List. I guess the FA nom for the main article should be cleared first, tho...  anyways- nice work.--cjllw | TALK 23:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: Firstly, these all use period (.) as the thousands separator; while this is the case in many European countries, comma is the usual one in most countries where English is an official language.  So for en: I think comma would be better.
I also wonder where these figures are sourced - they look like they have been taken from Ethnologue, but those tend to be somewhat inflated.  At least they are comparable across many linguistic groups, I suppose.

thread_title:  speaker populations 

message: Thanks to Nora England, the silly Ethnologue-based multiplication of dialects has now been cleaned up in ISO-693. See her request to ISO and, for instance, a page for one of the deleted language codes. We need to clean up this page now. It is not too easy - you have to add to all the speaker numbers and subtract from all the right rowspans. I did Chol. Here's the new list (copied and edited from ethnologue, numbers NOT valid):

replies: text: Hey, thanks for that Homunq. Someone had gone thru a few of the affected language articles and cleaned up to the revised/rationalised codes. Haven't checked to see if all relevant articles were touched. --cjllw ʘ TALK 07:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
