thread_title: Is there a problem?

message: I've created a new section by translating section Распространённость from ru:Чукотский язык, as per this request. Note that a single source of contradiction may have been introduced: whereas the en: article, prior to this addition, used to claim that less than half Chukchis speak their own language, the ru: version claims to contrary. If you know for sure the en: version is correct, feel free to revert the appropriate phrases. I'm not an expert on this subject at all, nor have any opinion, but have merely translated the ru: info.

replies: text: Upon a further inspection, it seems that the en: version referred to a more recent census, which can explain the difference. I've self-reverted the specific part claiming otherwise. IgorSF 08:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Russian version seems to be a bit strange in places, if I'm reading it correctly. For instance, the writing system part that I've been working on claims that Tenevil was the author of the pictographs found whereas I was taught that the pictographs were much older than Tenevil and that Tenevil made the first attempts to create a writing system for Chukchi as we know it today. I've left thus all mention of that out of the translation until I find some sources to back it up one way or another. Thanks by the way for translating this, too :) -Yupik 19:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On the basis of an ancient Soviet popular science magazine I once came across in a sack intended for toilet paper (!?) I believe that Tenevil was the creator of the pictographs. There were some samples of these pictographs with notional translations, but on the basis of these I doubted very much that the pictographs were an encoding of language in such a way that other people familiar with the system would be able to decode them reliably, or at all... Furthermore it has never been claimed that the pictographs were known outside Tenevil's immediate family. I think they're really a just a curiosity like a hobbyist's constructed language, and I would suggest omitting any mention of them at all. -- Ngio 14:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation from ru:

message: *In the text it is claimed that this letter dates from the late 1980s. Is there any documentation of that? I was under the impression it was first used in Emel'janova and Nutekeu's 1996 textbook (the one I've just added an image from).
*Since the "El With Hook" characters are so new in unicode, I doubt they are rendered on most people's computers. I saw somebody was experimenting with adding images, but apparently gave up. Should we worry about this, or should we just wait for unicode fonts to catch up with us?
