Talk:Wakhi language

message: I've renmoved the following sentence:
 The education ratio among Wakhi Tajiks in the northern areas of Pakistan is about 60%.
As it stands. it's much too vague; does it refer to literacy, or more advanced education?  If the latter, to what level?  Could someone fil in the details, so that it can be put back?  I'm also unclear as to the meaning of the last sentence in the article (about computers). Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 15:07, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Language Question

message: This article identifies the Wakhi as "Tajiks" and implies that the language Wakhi is a dialect of Tajik. This is very controversial and involves the politics of language in Tajikistan. Few linguists would call Wakhi a dialect of Tajik. It really constitutes it's own language and is categorized by linguists as one of the Pamir languages. In the late 1980s and early 1990s there was a separatist movement in Gorno-Badakhshan, home of the Pamiri, also called Badakhshani, people in Tajikistan. Pamiris were targeted for massacres during the 1992-1997 Civil War in Tajikistan. Many Tajik nationalists insist on calling all the Pamir languages Tajik, but there is no consensus on this and, in my opinion, wikipedia articles should not endorse this idea. I'm changing the article.--David Straub 00:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: So is Wakhi actually classified under the Pamir subfamily of the Southeastern Iranian languages, or is it broken out from them in its own subfamily? Different sources say different things; I'm going with the Ethnologue classification for now, but feel free to change it if you have more reliable/up-to-date sources. Incidentally, the Eastern Iranian languages article has it listed separately from the Pamir languages, but the Pamir languages article itself mentions Wakhi. (My POV comment: as you can see from the vocabulary comparison, there are pretty clear differences between Wakhi on the one hand, and Shughni and Sarikoli on the other). cab 03:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It's not an attempt at proselytisation, but I think it's a better idea to use a different example too. Unfortunately other common sample texts like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights aren't available in Wakhi. Any suggestions? cab (talk) 05:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Calm down Murad Bhatti Jana!  This isn't an attempt at proselyzation. The "Lord's Prayer" is a fairly standard text used for comparative purposes between languages (albiet, largely because of the number of translations of the Bible by missionaries).  Who cares what the Wakhi people's religion is, it is irrelevant to a discussion of how their language compares to others. 64.88.170.40 (talk) 23:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Could someone give the IPA equivalents for the letters of the Wakhi alphabet? I suspect consonants with dots are pharyngealized, but I don't have any idea what x̌ can be. Aminullah 12:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have Lorimer's Wakhi Language books here with me, and would be happy to scan in a few pages for somebody if they would like to work with it. Perhaps the phonology charts? They aren't in proper IPA in the books.

message: Is it true that д./ḍ and т./ṭ stand for dentals while д/d and т/t stand for retroflexes? I'd expect it to be the other way round, especially since the other dotted letters ж./ẓ̌, ч./č̣, ҷ./ǰ̣, and ш./ṣ̌ do stand for retroflexes. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Does this language use the cursive theta ϑ specifically, or can we use regular lowercase theta θ as readers will be more familiar with it and it's much easier to type and search? -- Beland (talk) 05:09, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
