Talk:Megleno-Romanians

message: UNESCO RED BOOK ON ENDANGERED LANGUAGES: EUROPE refers to this language as Melenic or Megleno-Romanian. The term Vlashi is nowhere to be seen. Obviously, now we can't use the word Vlashi for their language. UNESCO must be neutral. Unless User:Theathenae feels that he knows better than the professionals who compiled this document. That is unlikely. So naturally, Theathenae will have to withdraw his request that the word Vlashi be used (the far-right Greek extremist view). Shame. REX 23:00, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose the people who call themselves Vlashi are also far-right Greek extremists, and you are the enlightened soul who knows what's best for them. It appears some of that British imperialism has rubbed off on you. Well done.--Theathenae 06:43, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Theathenae, you are commiting Vandalism on the Megleno-Romanians article. You are adding false facts. I must insist on references for these facts or they will be removed because they are a violation of Wikipedia policies Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:NPOV.

replies: text: My source is Koukoudis who uses the term consistently. Do a Google search and see for yourself. You are committing vandalism by removing valid information.--Theathenae 15:33, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Seeing as how the Megleno-Romanian language is Slavicized (via Macedonian and Bulgarian) to a high degree, much more than Daco-Romanian, it is fairly obvious that the Megleno-Romanians lost the traditional Romanus-derived ethnonym (from Latin) and adopted the exonym Vlashi (derived from Slavic speakers, in turn from Germanic, but that's far back; the Greek usage of "Vlachoi" also derives from the Slavic usage) from the Slavs. The Greek influence in Megleno-Romanian is nothing compared to the Slavic.

replies: text: I am not asking out of personal curiosity. My remark means that  the article needs work. `'mikka (t) 21:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Added a to do for that. Many other sources connect them Thraco-Roman and Daco-Roman.--Codrin.B (talk) 21:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I do not claim I did a particularly interesting expansion, but at least I tried (I see nobody working on this article). I am sorry, I have to take a break now. I am sorry to leave it in the middle: half expanded, half not. I will continue editing it in a few hours. Feel free to work on it. Dc76\talk 08:55, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  My edit 

message: Below is a discussion started on user pages which should get more opinions:
:Hi! I saw your recent edit to Megleno-Romanians, mentioning whatever other languages the Megleno-Romanians might speak. What's the point of that? Maybe some of them know English and Spanish. I am ready to revert, but wanted your input. Nice picture of Machu Picchu. Been there last month. Regards!--Codrin.B (talk) 17:43, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello.Yes, it is true that they may speak even English, but often in that box are put the languages that are official in the country where people live and that means they know it for sure (some may use them at home for instance). I have seen that in many infoboxes and that's why I have put it. Best--MacedonianBoy (talk) 17:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  You must be kidding. It sounds very unrealistic to list all languages of one countries as spoken by a tiny minority and hints to some nationalistic agenda not welcomed on Wikipedia. Can you give any examples? And let's keep the discussion in one place. Thanks.--Codrin.B (talk) 17:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Double the comment above. Since when is this the case? --Laveol T 18:55, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: One more observation. Imagine writing all languages of the countries in which they live for infoboxes related of Jewish or Chinese minorities. You will have to write hundreds of them! --Codrin.B (talk) 03:05, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Let start listing (see the infobox): Quechuas, Aymara people, Navajo people, Romani people, Basque people, Laz people, Tatars, Sami people, Gagauz people and many others that are 'tiny minority' in the concerned counties, but you should search a bit. Nationalistic agenda? I am not interested in those people at all, particularly not about few hundreds, but I found valuable to give more data. Also, if you see the article you can read that 'they are slavisized' so they speak Macedonian right? BTW, how Laveol is connected with this discussion? --MacedonianBoy (talk) 13:46, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, I just had a look at Romani people (cause I was sure of what I'd find in the article). It says: "Romani, languages of native region". And that's it. I didn't see every single European language listed. --Laveol T 14:12, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the same my friend, all the same since there are many 'languages of native region'. It's obvious. Same as in Aromanians or you may want specific list of languages here --MacedonianBoy (talk) 14:23, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes by [[User:MacedonianBoy|MacedonianBoy]] - Adding list of languages that Megleno-Romanians should/are speaking 

message: I tried to follow the Skra link from the table of villages and ended in the jungle of Borneo, Malaysia, which was not where I intend to go in the autumn. It seems that there is no article about Skra Kilkis Greece in english Wikipedia. There is, however, an article in Greek Wikipedia about Σκρα Κιλκίς, so someone with some knowlegde of Greek could easily make a start. I could always handle the Greek stuff, but I have no experience in working with Wikipedia, far less do I know how to go about creating an article from scratch. Hope someone gives it a go. Regards!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.160.40.10 (talk) 16:55, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I find it typical of WP that people have the arrogance to rename an ethnic group, according to a 19th century view of the origins of its language. whatever the language is called, the ethnic group has always been known by the name that they themselves use -- VLACH. It is imperative that the article be renamed in accordance with reality. It is not fit for a children's encyclopedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.6.241.6 (talk) 23:37, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

message: After Toše Proeski, one could add an Ottoman pasha Nikola (Telli Hasan Paşa) born in the 16. the century (between 1535-1540) in Trebinje and along with 30 children brought to the capital as in devshirme. Regards Manaviko (talk) 17:13, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
