Talk:Sarikoli language

message: Anyone know why the author of that phrasebook called the language "Tashkorghani"? It seems to be a usage that originated entirely with him. cab 05:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He's also the author of the book Oasis Identities, although I've never read the book properly, I think it might have something to do with that.--Erkin2008 22:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :File: China linguistic map.jpg. The location shown for "Tajik" in this map is slightly different than that in the Iranian languages map now in the article. cab 06:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: File: Xinjiang prefectures template.png. The map that is already on the page is not very clear. How about creating a new map from this page, that will be both clear, and accurate?--Erkin2008 06:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I've done a rough draft, but I'm not good with graphical stuff. :File:Sarikoli Sandbox.png Would somebody want to do something like that? The first map also ought to work, or a cut out of the Xinjiang section. --Erkin2008 01:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Paul Hattaway's book "Operation China" correct in stating:  "The two Tajik  languages in China are reportedly different enough that speakers from each group must use Uygur to communicate." Tajik (Sarikoli)
He also says something similar in the Tajik (Wakhi) profile. Is he correct, or is this article correct?--Erkin2008 06:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't speak Sarikoli or Wakhi, but I have a hard time believing that Sarikoli and Wakhi speaking villagers who live in the same valleys can't communicate together using the same languages. In fact, I don't remember the exact source, but I've read that the Wakhi in Tashkorgan speak Sarikoli as well. But when I went to Tashkorgan a few years ago I did run into some Wakhi-speaking Tajiks from Pakistan who probably could not speak Sarikoli, but could speak some Uighur and Chinese as they were doing business in Kashgar. Perhaps this is what the author meant. --David Straub 10:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I am wondering if the box with a list of different ways to write Sarikoli in Chinese is very useful or not? They don't have it on any of the other pages for langauges spoken in China. Do the Chinese even use the Sarikoli terms? --Erkin2008 22:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An IP editor reinserted it.  I put it into a footnote for now; guess the information is nice to have somewhere in the article, but not really worth putting into a big box which disrupts the layout. cab 00:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I changed it back to "Lexical comparison of seven Iranian languages together with an English translation", which captures the point more clearly. The table comes from Gawarjon; the point is to demonstrate nearby related languages, and we put in English merely because our readers are English-speakers. Gawarjon used Chinese as the gloss language in his table; certainly his point wasn't to make a "Lexical comparison of Nostratic languages". I don't want this table to turn into a catchall where nationalists from every single European country are invited to come in and insert their own language just because their "rival"'s language is present, as previously happened with the pan-Indo-European vocabulary table at the Tajik language article ... cab (talk) 09:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Tajiki Language is "Persian", why would you list both of their vocabularies here? It is basically just redundancy! Either omit the persian, or combine those two columns.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.183.124.223 (talk) 18:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of the relationship between Tajik and Persian, the official pronunciation between Tajik and Persian is different. So I oppose any combination of the the two lists.David Straub (talk) 15:29, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
