Talk:Nicola language

message: I've just deleted the folk pronouncation STOO-wihh for [stuwix]. Please don't use them. They're rarely accurate since English spelling simply doesn't have the means to represent most of the sounds of the world's languages, and there isn't any real standard for them. The result is that they don't convey much information. Even people unfamiliar with the International Phonetic Alphabet will generally be able to get an idea of what something sounds like from its IPA transcription, and if they wish to learn more, they easily can. Folk transcriptions like this don't add anything and look unprofessional.Bill 06:37, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: :So little is known of the language that beyond the fact that it is Athabascan it cannot be classified. Some linguists have suggested that it is merely a displaced dialect of Chilcotin, but the evidence is too skimpy to allow a decision.
There's a long passage in Mark S. Wade's The Thompson Country about their arrival and first appearance at Spences Bridge; he may be pulling that from Teit, I don't know; link is on Thompson Country in the refs to that book; I don't think he (Wade) says anything about a Chilcotin connection; I do remember something about them "moving south to get away from bad neighbours" which is certainly suggestive given other known events in that period (Chinlac, the Tsilhqot'in-St'at'imc War etc.); maybe a quote or paraphrase about their appearance/origin would fit on the end of that pragraph?  Not to draw conclusions or to even be suggestive, just to indicate why the Chilcotin language connection was made by some linguists; if that's why they made it; I'm about to split the Nicola people article to give Nicola Athapaskans a separate article from today's people, whose usage is the primary one (though not to linguists, I suppose); I figure that's hte best title rather than the Nlaka'pamux stuwix; if you have any other suggestions please advise.Skookum1 (talk) 15:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

The League has been running for such a short time that articles will remain very short for a considerable amount of time.

message: "Zazisme" means several things in French. Look at it on the series of tubes, and you will find
* that the "playful use of language" refers to Queneau's Zazie
* zazism referring to this singer consists in denouncing fascism, intolerance and the consumer society during Music Awards ceremonies and other occasions widely regarded as consumer society emblems
The first item has nothing to do with this article ; the second is highly pejorative, and should not be used in a BPL.
Of course, you will also find that some of her fans use zazism to refer to her style, but that is in no way an information worthy of being mentioned, as it is the case with almost any artist.

Core as in a body of individuals; an assemblage.

The New York Hard "body of individuals / assemblage".
Thought I'd add this as I always understood the word to mean 'Core' as in a body of individuals or assemblage. Not as in the music genre known as "Hardcore Punk". I always understood it that although the term came around as a result of Hardcore (one word) Punk giving the idea for the title of its followers (two words). As I remember there were also other types of music involved with the 'Core'.
I can remember crossover groups such as S.O.D. being involved in the scene and I can rember thrash bands too(such as M.O.D., Nuclear Assault & Anthrax) 
I can even remember the thrash band Anthrax using the N.Y.H.C emblem on the back of their t-shirts such as on the back print to the "Indians" t-shirt.

Talk:Boondocks

message: The term boondock(s) entered the English language around the turn of the 20th century when it was borrowed from the Tagalog word bundók which means mountain.
________________________________
: HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE: The idea behind this term shares much in common with the term hillbilly. Around the world, many cultures have often viewed those living in mountainous regions as somewhat "outsiders" (mga dayuhan). Indeed, merely visiting one of them would require quite a hike (paglakád). A perhaps less pejorative term for the Bergbewohner (if you will) is mountaineer, as it has far fewer negative connotations and can often imply a character of great dexterity and daring—that is, to go "mountaineering" (pamumundók or pag-aakyát ng bundók).
