Talk:H with stroke

message: May I kindly ask if anybody knows; Who invented the ħ letter first? The International Phonetic Association or people from Malta for the Maltese language. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 08:23, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Maltese alphabet article, ħ was standardized in 1866. The International Phonetics Association wasn't created untill 1897, and started with the Romic alphabet before developing the modern International Phonetic Alphabet. I think that probably answers the question. Vanisaac (talk) 07:12, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hedy West

message: The article has stated, for a while, "She moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s, where she continued singing and later married." Married whom? For how long? How did the marriage end? Honestly, this unsupported assertion seems inconsistent with the statements in the following paragraph about Hedy's 1962 engagement and 1968 marriage in London. I note the recent improvements drawn from an article in the Oxford [British] Dictionary of National Biography (curiously cited with the dates "(1938-2016)", although Hedy died in 2005). Perhaps that editor (the esteemed User:Victuallers) could also resolve this point. PDGPA (talk) 23:18, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: (No Idea who the "esteemed" one is :-) )., All I can tell you is that the dates come from her ODNB biog that says 1938-2016. The text of the biog says 2005 but the title and the caption on the picture say 2016. I guess it is the text that is right and an ODNB sub-editor has made a mistake (its only a day old). Keep safe and good work. Victuallers (talk) 23:51, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't have a subscription to ODNB to read their entire biographical article. I see it was written by Ken Hunt, certainly a knowledgeable and reliable source. (Should his name not appear as author in the ODNB cites you added?) Does his ODNB article address the question of a possible first marriage in Los Angeles in the early 1960s? (If not, should that assertion not be flagged for lack of citation?) As for Hedy's date of death, it was definitely July 2005, as established by the obituary by the same author from The Independent as well as the obit from The Guardian, both cited in the Wiki article.

Talk:Antonio Gades

message: I noticed that this page is listed as one of questionable importance.  Antonio Gades is one of the MOST important flamenco dancers of the 20th century.  He was a central figure in some of the most notable and accessible recordings of flamenco to the non-flamenco community.  During the height of Gade's popularity, the (authentic) flamenco community was still extremely insular and he is one of the main figures responsible for bringing flamenco to the international stage.

Talk:Hans Wehr transliteration

message: The article does not reflect the actual transliteration system used by "Arabic-English Dictionary The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic Edited by J M. Cowan (4th ed)". Perhaps this transliteration is representative of an older edition, or the German edition, but does not reflect this most commonly used dictionary (since this is English Wikipedia).

Talk:He (kana)

message: The article says about へ and ヘ: "The two ways of writing this mora are almost identical." But they look EXACTLY the same in the font in which my computer shows this article, in the font used in other programs, in the font on my phone, in the "stroke order" animations, etc. Only the "stroke order" pictures differ slightly, because the Katakana version has a small extra bit on the left side. Is that supposed to always be there? If yes, why is it in none of the other places? Fabian42 (talk) 22:41, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difference in Hiragana/Katakana
Talk:Hi (kana)

message: Hi,
It would be interesting to give a source (online or offline) concerning the direction of the first stroke in the stroke order diagram for the katakana ヒ. It seems to me that the stroke order given here (first stroke right to left) is the less common one, although I do not have a definitive answer. Japanese people that I have asked have almost all told me they write it left to right. I have also heard there is no officially published rule or guideline, meaning that there is no "correct" or "incorrect" way of writing the character. Still, it would be interesting to have an expert opinion on the matter.
Online sources:
* Left to right

replies: text: The left-to-right stroke order seems to be more consistent with the rules for writing Kanji correctly. Seeing as the katakana are essentially just parts of the Manyougana Kajni to begin with, the stroke order diagram would appear incorrect. That and Tsukimori-sensei taught me hook, then dash.

Talk:Kate Fox

message: Someone placed the line "Kate Fox is also a horse rider and horse carer."  First, this grammar is...well, it's awful.  I edited it to read "Kate Fox also cares for and rides horses" and added the Citation Needed tag.  Even if this is true, and a reliable source can be found, does it belong on her page?  To the best of my knowledge, she is not a notable horse rider.  Anyhow, just wanted to clarify what I did and why.

replies: text: You are utterly right. Hijazi/Hejazi is the very same Arabic word with only a slightly different transliteration. I would prefer "Hijazi", but I am going to consult the guidelines on that point before merging the two articles. Cvereb (talk) 23:11, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Hijazi" comes up much more often on Google (after filtering for English-language content) ; it is the term used at the [Library of Congress]. Therefore I am going to keep "Hijazi" as the main article and merge "Hejazi" into it. Cvereb (talk) 23:21, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge Proposal - Hijazi/Hejazi

message: It seems this script qualifies as an "Abjad", since it has no vowel sounds, and even more so, it has no diacritical marks indicating where vowel signs might occur. If this is the case, it seems an addition is merited. I would place the reference in the text myself but I don't feel qualified -- in particular, a reason may exist as to why this particular script does not so qualify, perhaps technical or history, or because I'm plain wrong about it. 
If someone with some expertise on the matter were to agree that this is in fact an abjad, I know I would find it a helpful addition.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sychonic (talk • contribs) 13:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Hindustani orthography

message: some discussion of the ways in which Hindi written in Devanagari differs from sanskrit should be added here.  E.g. loss of inherent vowel, dotted letters, diacritics for English loan words.  Grover cleveland (talk) 19:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Following a comment by  in a discussion about the dab Hindustani, I wonder what the purpose of this article is. Disregarding for the moment the dispute about whether "Hindustani" or "Hindi–Urdu" is the appropriate label for the language with two distinct standardized high registers, this article is obviously a standalone created from what properly should be a section of Hindustani language/Hindi–Urdu. I have two points here:
#Hindustani language already has a section called Writing system, and the article is not really large enough to justify a WP:size split for that section. Merge?
#In the current form, the article simply juxtaposes the Perso-Arabic and Devanagri writing systems, without relating one to the other. An interested reader will find much better information in Urdu alphabet and Devanagari. This article does not have additional informative value.
Since Hindustani language/Hindi–Urdu is about the structural core of the language, wouldn't it be much more enlightening for readers to tabulate a synopsis of how the sounds of the language are mapped into the Perso-Arabic and Devanagari scripts? Including a note about the sounds which are commonly associated with only one of the literary registers, and notoriously create problems for speakers who are not familiar with that register. Sources for this won't be hard to find.

replies: text:  I like that idea particularly "Including a note about the sounds which are commonly associated with only one of the literary registers, and notoriously create problems for speakers who are not familiar with that register."

Talk:Hiragana and katakana place names

message: The list of kana cities should be turned into a table showing their respective names in kana and kanji (wherever known). - 60.50.251.214 (talk) 10:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  In written Japanese? 

message: In the lead section it says the cities "have names which are written in hiragana only." Yet in the list there are Kanji versions as well. Perhaps someone could write something about where those versions come from?--ospalh (talk) 08:56, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of the Kanji names of these "Hiragana cities" are Manyogana phonetical usages. For example, Akiruno, Tokyo (あきる野市) is written as 阿伎留野 - 阿伎留野 has no specific semantic meaning; the characters are used phonetically - a-ki-ru-no. This practice of using Kanji phonetically can be found elsewhere as well; for example, France (フランス, furansu) was traditionally written as 佛蘭西 (furansu; Shinjitai: 仏蘭西), and within a (humourous) Japanese TV commercial advertising Fanta (the softdrink), they used 吐露非狩古鬱 (= トロピカルフルーツ = toropikarufuruutsu = "tropical fruits"). In addition, many traditionally Ainu areas in Hokkaido have their location names in the Ainu language, and have equivalent phonetical kanji renderings with no specific semantic meaning. For the cities within the list that aren't using phonetically-chosen Kanji, it would be the case that a kanji name was traditionally used but fell out of place due to a character being uncommon/not in the Joyo Kanji list, or that they used a particularly odd kanji reading. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:39, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where do the Kanji names come from? 

message: WHY are cities eliminating the kanji to their names? I think it's important to know, whether it be to make it easier to read/write for children, the kanji are not general use kanji, or just because "it's our language, and we Japanese feel it should be done that way."113.34.33.154 (talk) 07:54, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I think it would be an improvement to further explore the "Many hiragana city names have kanji equivalents that are either phonetic manyōgana, or whose kanji are now obsolete" statement by adding a column to the table pointing which kanji are a manyougana and which are obsolete now. --ᛒᚨᛊᛖ (ᛏᚨᛚᚲ) 21:25, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Resignations

message: There seems to be a minor edit war on the subject of the curriculum, math specifically.  I checked the two provided sources and neither really supported the statements.  The parent survey, for instance, is just a list of ALL the parent comments, not a published study with actual statistics, so verifying that less than 50% were satisfied is very difficult and the survey was not about that specific math curriculum.  The link used to justify which math curriculum the schools use linked to the US Department of Education's website on math, but that does not show that Hudson actually uses that curriculum, nor did the link specifically address that curriculum by name.  If a more specific source can be found which states these as facts, by all means include them in the article.  However, until then, please refrain from adding them in.
