Talk:Charro

message: Charro comes from basque meaning peasant. Then it´s used to refer to the inhabitants of the Salamanca region in Spain. This area was settled by basques amgong others and had an abundant cattle livestock.
Later it´s used in México meaning cowboy.
:Checking the online English-Basque-Spanish dictionaries, not one supports this.  The word "charro" doesn't even register in Basque.  However, the Royal Spanish Academy does indicate that the word charro derives from the Basque word txar meaning "defective" or "weak".  
Well, let's be logic. So, if the English-Basque-Spanish dictionaries, not one supports
this word. Then, Charro is a Mexican word and it is not derived form Basque. Anyway, Txar does not  sounds like charro. 
I can only suppose then that the word was probably originally used as a derogatory term for someone from the area around Salamanca, and perhaps as you believe, referred to the peasants of the area. How then did it become associated with cowboys?  Perhaps the term signified the well-known mutual hostility between people herding sheep and people herding horses and cattle, charro becoming the term for the horsemen who herded cattle.

replies: text:   says "Txar does not sounds like charro". Actually, it does: "tx" in Basque is pronounced the same as "ch" in Spanish and English, so Basque txar would be written as char in Spanish. See Basque language#Consonants, in the fourth row, fourth column [not counting labels] of the table. Its sound is given there as /tʃ/; that International Phonetic Alphabet notation is linked to Voiceless palato-alveolar affricate, where its sound is described as "familiar to English speakers as the 'ch' sound in 'chip'." --Thnidu (talk) 17:26, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: •	I found the “Etymology” section slightly confusing. I am assuming the word has multiple meanings but this was not explicitly clear.
•	The last sentence in the first paragraph under “Origins” could be phrased more efficiently.
•	The middle paragraph under the heading “Nineteenth and early twentieth-century usage” ends abruptly after just one sentence.
•	I made a few grammatical and spelling edits.
