Wait, if the script is Arabic, why is the native name written in the Modern Turkish alphabet (i.e. Latin script)?

Shouldn't the native name (i.e. the name of the language in that form of Turkish, not Modern Turkish) be تُركجٔ ? That seems to be what Wikipedia says anyway.

I need to know which flags to use :) Also, is Chakavian supposed to be created under Croatian?

That's fine, I guess.

Upon browsing the Turkish language version of wikipedia they have it written as both
تركجه
and
تركي

Where as the English language article has
تُركجٔ
(With Arabic diacritics)

Huh. :hmm:

I mean, ultimately I'm not going to study the language anyway, but Idk. I guess I wanted to make sure. :P

I'm going to hesitantly suggest the flag of Međimurje County for Kajkavian, because this seems to be the largest political entity that is entirely(?) Kajkavian-speaking:
Image
and the flag of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County for Chakavian for basically the same reason (largest Chakavian-speaking entity?):
Image
And yes, the idea that Chakavian is a variety of Croatian seems to be considered uncontroversial since it's spoken almost entirely within Croatian territory.

I'm not sure what to do about Pahari-Potwari. Maybe just use the Pakistani flag?

For Old Anatolian Turkish, I think going with تُركجٔ makes the most sense as suggested on the English Wikipedia. The other two options تركجه and تركي are just names for Turkish written in Ottoman script. Old Anatolian Turkish apparently used those vowel diacritics, so تُركجٔ is probably how the language name would have been spelled in that language.

I think there is more active use of Chakavian in Istria than in Primorje-Gorski Kotar.

Failing that, we could just use the Croatian flag for both Chakavian and Kaikavian.

For Pahari-Pothohari you could use the flag of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Speaking of flags for dialect specific areas, I forgot to do that for the Irish dialects, so:
Munster - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... unster.svg
Connacht - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... nnacht.svg
Ulster - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... Ulster.svg

And, what the hell, I'd like to add a few Japanese dialects, if I may:
English name: Hokkaido-ben
Native name: 北海道弁
ISO 639-1 code: ja-ho
Script used: Japanese
Flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... ecture.svg

English name: Tohoku-ben
Native name: 東北弁
ISO 639-1 code: ja-to
Script used: Japanese
Flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag ... ecture.svg

English name: Kanto-ben
Native name: 関東弁
ISO 639-1 code: ja-ka
Script used: Japanese
Flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... ecture.svg

English name: Kansai-ben
Native name: 関西弁
ISO 639-1 code: ja-kan
Script used: Japanese
Flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag ... ecture.svg

English name: Hakata-ben
Native name: 博多弁
ISO 639-1 code: ja-ha
Script used: Japanese
Flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... ecture.svg

I tried to pick the best representative flag, but some (actually most) of these dialects are spread out across a few prefectures. So a few flag choices are a 50/50 shot between at least two prefectures.

I think this is kind of problematic tbh because in Japan, from what I've heard, there's a different dialect spoken every 20 miles or something.

I get that. That's why I picked 5 of the major dialect groups. I tried to not get too nitty-gritty.

Where as there are many different dialects in the different dialects areas, I purposefully picked, for example, Kantai-hen (which covers a few prefectures) instead of Osaka-hen (which mainly covers the city). Most dialect areas that i picked have similar features in most (if not all) subdialects spoken in the area. So it seemed more reasonable to go broad.

I'm going to make another few suggestions:

English name: Malinke
ISO code: emk
Flag: Wassoulou Empire or, failing that, Guinea

Malinke seems to be the more common name for this language in English. Malinke-speakers in Mali apparently self-identify with the Bambara people (from p. 5 of this book: "there is a tendency among Malian Maninka to identify themselves with Bamana"), and Wikipedia at least suggests (though without a citation) that "the Wudala dialect of Eastern Maninkaka" is "spoken in the central highlands of Guinea and comprehensible to speakers of all dialects in that country."

I just noticed when posting on the translation thread that the code for Seneca comes up as a ? instead of the flag we had given the the listing: [flag=]see[/flag]

Code: Select all

[flag=]see[/flag]

Oddly enough, the listing in the lang. list still has the correct flag.

Thanks for adding the Japanese dialects, Luís! :D

I just noticed that the first character for the native name for Kansai-ben is missing, it should be 関西弁
It probably just got accidentally lost along the way. You've had quite a few requests lately after all.
