message: Is there any word to call 'city' in Waray other than the Spanish loan 'syudad'? Maybe there is a similar term how it is coined in Cebuano (dakbayan) and Hiligaynon (dakbanwa)? I search for the term for 'town' and found bungto. Is it possible to coin a city as dakbungto as in Dakbungto han Tacloban or does it sound unusual?

message: Shouldn't there be a line explaining why this rather unimportant language (at least 20 times fewer speaker than Italian for example) came to be one of the top 10 languages on Wikipedia in terms of number of articles? That seems mysterious. Н Француз (talk) 08:52, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering about the same thing, and googled for a bit.  It seems they are using robo-translation.

message: In the intro, it says 
Why?
I didn't put a {why} tag because it is minor, but an explanation of that little nugget of info would be nice. Androsynth (talk) 22:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: For that matter, why are Wikipedia page translations tagged as "Winaray"? The "Requested move" discussion above says, "Other alternative names for it are Winaray, ..." but I can find no description of what that word means, or why it's a favored alternative to "Waray." Whbjr (talk) 19:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The word Waray refers both to the people and its language in the native tongue. The word construct W(in)aray with the infix '-in-' basically means 'the way(s) of Waray(s)' or specifically for this case 'the language spoken by the Waray people'. Why the favored alternative is "Waray"-- it is just simpler. JinJian (talk) 08:14, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  But why is it called "Waray"? 

message: All of this is nice and all, but it seems very inconsistent compared to most other language pages. Even if there is barely anything to put in. I would like to help, but someone please start ASAP :) SpinachMaid (talk) 05:13, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: All of this is completely unsourced, and actually belongs in Wiktionary, at least in such a broad scope. It would be of much more value if someone took care of the empty "Grammar" section. –Austronesier (talk) 15:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
