Talk:Kasaragod

message: -------
Apparently one line stating "Havyaka speakers have a strong base in Kannada." is deleted. What is the rationale? What is the proportion of havyaka speakers to other kannada speakers or total population?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4071:E1E:8D0E:8A27:FB50:F55E:9588 (talk) 13:13, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

message: According the official Kerala government site ( http://www.kerala.gov.in/ and http://www.ksd.kerala.gov.in/home.htm ) the name of the district/town is Kasaragod. So the article should be placed under "Kasaragod" and page "Kasargod" should redirect to Kasaragod and not the other way round. Sangfroid 15:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the article on Kayyara Kinyanna Rai, there's at least a small movement agitating to separate the district from Kerala and join it with Karnataka. It might be worth mentioning that here. --Delirium 18:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some 72+ percent of the district speaks Malayalam; while Tulu is spoken by nearly 22%; Kannada is spoken by SOME of the remaining < 8% of the people; Of all the minority languages in Kasaragod, only Kannada has a state of its own which is the reason one gets to hear more of Kannada than the others like Tulu, Kokani, Beary, Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi etc. If you insist on Kannada script even then I would be glad to 'discuss' issues like demands that the Tuluvas and Kodavas are making for separate states. I am sure you are quite aware of them :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.69.242 (talk) 23:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Bharathiya, I didn't mean to offend you; just wanted to ensure that there is no POV pushing in the article. I have no particular like or dislike towards Kannada, Tulu or any other language. Salih (talk) 05:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: BHARATIYA, though a part of my immediate roots lie there, I was not aware of this piece of news. And I apologize for any rudeness I may have conveyed. I have nothing against Kannada or against Kannadiggas. On my part I shall however try to locate the article where it was mentioned that Malayalees and Tuluvas form an overwhelming majority in he district. I was under the impression therefore that that would be the right order in which to write them. Regards, 76.99.69.242 (talk) 20:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

text:  On the recent edit of Galoiserdos: Thanks for adding Marathi. However I am forced to delete the line which says "There are over 40000 Marati speaking people as well reside in this district."
I agree that there are a good number of Marathi speaking people in Kasaragod. But you have not provided any third-party reference to the same. I also feel that quoting unverified "number of speakers" of a particular language is not necessary or not relevant especially in the Kasaragod page of wiki. 
So now I have created a separate header for languages which seemed to be necessary to clean the looks of the article. And now the trimmed statement stands as follows "It's principal and recognized administrative languages are Malayalam, and Kannada. Tulu, Beary bashe and Konkani are also widely used. Besides these Marathi, Urdu and Hindi are also spoken here."
It would be nicer to have a brief discussion on these kind of matters well before editing anything especially in things like this. I also invite the views of Salih and other esteemed members associated with Kasaragod page on these matter.--Bin (talk) 18:02, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Kindly reason your edit of removing Tulu from the lead 117.198.110.82 (talk) 16:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear friend, Looks like you completely missed the point. It is a general practice to include only the official language script in articles relating to geography, places where multiple ethnic people reside. In case of India, You can look for yourself that only Hindi language is shown in its wiki page (because it is the national language) even though constitution of India recognizes 22 other official languages. Take a look at Kanyakumari, Nagercoil or Padmanabhapuram pages, you can find that all these places are located in Tamil Nadu, where Tamil is the official language ( and all those pages have Tamil script added), even though there is a sizable Malayali population there. An act of including Malayalam script in those pages are dealt with much force. In this type of cases a mention is given about Malayalam as the major language in the region in the content of the article rather than scribbling Malayalam script in the article. Similar is the case with Palakkad, which even though in Kerala has a sizable Tamil speaking population.
Kindly provide for the content of the article rather than for adding multiple scripts on the article page.  arun  talk  10:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Scripts???? All of them are Kannada scripts.... Anyway these articles are not FA...! They are in process of being one, so a page won't stay constant....Official script is more than sufficient on this page.  Rest of the language issues can be added in the language section of the article with proper citations......   arun  talk  15:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Kindly put all those language stuffs in language section of the article with proper citations. For the article, the official language script is more than enough. And on the matter of discussion, it was you who started this whole issue by undoing revisions without discussing. So it would be better if single script continues until this matter is sorted out. If you plan to start an edit war then I will be forced to complain this IP to admins....Kindly provide for the content of the article rather than fighting for inclusion of various language scripts.....   arun  talk  16:12, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Why don't you add a reliable source to the claim that Tulu is the majority language in Kasargod town. Salih (talk) 15:34, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Tulu is not even mentioned in constitution of India as an official language, although a mass effort is underway to make it one.My friend, this is English Wikipedia. Other language scripts are actually redundant here. Only for identifying the region with the official language used there is what it means to add the official language script in the article page. I notify you and still notify, you can add all those stuff in language section of the article. But let the article bear the official language script on the page until the standard Wiki practices change. The original version of the article had only Malayalam script on it, have a good look on article history for this. Tulu is of course one of the languages spoken in Kasaragod and yes, it needs a mention in this article. But adding multiple scripts is not the practice. If that was the case , Malayalam script would find a place in Mangalore, Kodagu, Nagercoil and many other articles in Wikipedia.   arun  talk  15:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Just saying Tulu is the majority language in Kasaragod is not enough for Wikipedia. Your claim needs to be substantiated with reliable sources. Otherwise it is not proper to have multiple scripts in the lede. Salih (talk) 16:48, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Quoting Malayalam as minority language in Kodagu and Nagercoil is like stating Tulu is non-existent in Udupi. By above statements, you have proved that you are ignorant about the linguistic demographics of India. Stating Tulu as a majority language in Kasaragod Town is also false. I being a resident of Kasaragod know this more than anyone. But of course I admit that Tulu is the dominant language in bordering areas of Kasaragod such as Manjeshwaram. But reaching Kasaragod, the demographics completely changes. Please know the facts before coming for an argument. Official language script is more than enough on this article.   arun  talk  14:57, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Government site on the history of Kasaragod's justice system.  I'd say this one is both reliable and relevant (though the wording could be cleaned up).

thread_title:  Spoken languages 

message: Hi Yamaguchi先生, I would like to bring to your kind and immediate attention, the repeated and selective vandalising of Tulu and Kannada sources of Kasaragod town, taluk and district articles and that of Wayanad district history and related articles by user Boschanot on 8th Jan 2022 at 17:03, 17:05, 18th Jan 2022 at 08:14, etc. and adding non-referenced Malayalam information in their place for these articles.
Few illustrations of such vandalism:

This is highly condemnable on a free source like Wiki and completely against its rules and standards. Kindly take appropriate action at the earliest. I'm reverting the 'undoing of my properly sourced and referenced content edits' done by this user.
