== Your bot broke [[調試]] and [[调试]] ==

Hey, I came here to say I saw your bot [[User:Wyangbot]] made 調試 redirect to 调试 and 调试 redirect to 調試 back in january. It must be a mistake. If this faulty bot behaviour hasn't been fixed since then, it might still do this. [[User:汤玛斯|汤玛斯]] ([[User talk:汤玛斯|talk]]) 18:18, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
:Thanks for bringing it to my attention, but this is not the bot's fault: [https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%AA%BF%E8%A9%A6&oldid=25669283#Mandarin]. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 01:01, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

== Pronunciation of 場 in Taiwan? ==

Is 場 pronounced cháng in Taiwan? If so we should make it automatically appear at entries like [[場地]], [[收場]], etc. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 07:30, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
: Moedict seems to indicate that it is. Could you add it to the script? Thanks. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 15:37, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
: Hey mate, thanks for reminding me. Don't think it is used in reality much - if you click on the audios for compounds of this character, they all pronounce it as chang3. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 22:49, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

== Possible issues with an anon ==

{{ping|Wyang|Atitarev|Tooironic}}, and any other ZH / JA / maybe even LA editors --

{{user|110.3.37.115}} is a bit of a problem.  Some of what they add is of value, and some of what they add is rubbish.  The big issue with the rubbish is that it's often close-but-off-target as opposed to obviously wrong.  Things like {{diff|26154769||this edit}}, or {{diff|34547730||this edit}}, among others.  Some of their English terminology is decidedly odd (such as using {{m|en|contemn}} as a gloss), and they're not aware of current conventions (such as using outdated template arguments).

I'm going through their JA edits, but I don't have a lot of bandwidth to do so.  Could you all help out by at least vetting their ZH and other edits?  And is the situation bad enough to warrant a block while we get things cleaned up?  ‑‑&nbsp;[[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr&nbsp;Útlendi]]&nbsp;│<sup>''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala&nbsp;við&nbsp;mig]]''</sup> 21:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
: Can't speak for the mostly Japanese edits. The handful of Chinese ones aren't too bad. I've made some changes to the respective entries. Good luck. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 01:59, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

== Graphical etymology of 去 ==

I think you added this to the etymology of 去:
 One is that the ideograph represented a man with a hole marked in his crotch, and the inventors of writing had perhaps "anus" (i.e. getting rid of) in mind.

== Etymology of [[한글]] ==

Hi Frank,

How are you? Are you able to write the etymology of [[한글]], please? Also calling {{ping|TAKASUGI Shinji|KoreanQuoter}}. --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 21:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
: 한글 is a fairly recent term coined in 1910 by scholars 최남선 and 주시경. ([http://krdic.naver.com/rescript_detail.nhn?seq=235 source]) It used to be called 언문 (諺文), 조선문자 (朝鮮文字), 언서(諺書), 언자(諺字), 언해(諺解), 암클 (women's writing) and 중글 (Buddhist monks' writing) in the past ([http://www.segye.com/content/html/2013/11/14/20131114005052.html extra source]) and it was called 국문 (國文) right before the Japanese colonial takeover. --[[User:KoreanQuoter|KoreanQuoter]] ([[User talk:KoreanQuoter|talk]]) 03:11, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

:Hi Anatoli. I hope all is well. Thanks to KoreanQuoter above - I've added etymology there. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 05:04, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

::Thank you both! I had to temporarily protect the page since someone started copying stupidities from Wikipedia. Wikipedia's {{w|Hangul}} now shows "韓㐎" and "朝鮮㐎" as hanja for 한글 and "조선글"! --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 07:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

== Taiwan pronunciation of [[擲]] ==

When you have time would you mind adding zhí as the Taiwan pronunciation of [[擲]] for words like [[投擲]], [[拋擲]], [[虛擲]], etc.? Thanks. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 07:22, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

== Wu pronunciation of [[無錫]] ==

[[無錫]] had a Wu pronunciation recording available on Commons so I felt obligated to add it, but I don't know how the tones work (´；ω；`) —[[User:suzukaze-c|suzukaze]] ([[User talk:suzukaze-c|t]]・[[Special:Contributions/suzukaze-c|c]]) 21:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

== Chinese entries without definitions or requests for definitions ==

Hi Frank,

I find entries like {{zh-l|弓}} - a big problem. Not because they don't have definitions but because such entries are not easy to find for fixing. Do you think you can find some time making a list of such entries or run a bot and insert (as a minimum)?:
<pre>
===Definitions===
{{zh-hanzi}}

# {{rfdef|lang=zh}}
</pre>

I have asked other Chinese editors not remove {{temp|rfdef}} but they keep doing or they are some old remainders. --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 23:29, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

== Devanagari transliteration ==

Hi Frank,

Hope you're well. Since you are now working with Nepali, maybe you can improve the transliteration module? There are some guys who can (I hope!) help with both Lua [[User:Benwing2]] (aka Benwing) and transliterations for Devanagari languages [[User:Aryamanarora]] and [[User:DerekWinters]]. There should only be minor differences, if at all, between Hindi and Nepali. I am sure you can do this yourself, you did many great jobs before. I know Aryamanarora now possesses the new Oxford Hindi-English dictionary, which is very good compared to all previous dictionaries - has genders and standard and detailed transliterations and descriptions. (I didn't get it but I saw it). --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 07:48, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

:Hi Anatoli. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I did some edits on [[Module:hi-translit]] (if I understood you correctly) to make the module account for (1) complex consonants, (2) permissible final clusters and (3) nasalised diphthongs. I changed "ḍā'unloḍ" to "ḍāunloḍ" as the latter doesn't appear to be ambiguous. I suggest that Hindi editors adopt a system which readily allows manual transliteration, including in headwords (probably as spelling pronunciation similar to Nepali) and examples. All words can be assumed to be schwa-dropping unless enclosed by <>. This is contrary to what I did to Nepali, where the default is non-dropping and use of <> allows for final schwa-dropping, because schwa dropping is much more common in Hindi. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 09:57, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
:: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too, Frank! Thank you so much for fixing the remaining failed test cases. I am not always 100% sure about all cases of schwa-dropping. Besides, as I have seen in that dictionary, there are cases of optional dropping of "a" and cases where it's "light". I am not so sure about loanwords like {{l|hi|बैटरी}}, {{l|hi|कंपनी}}, {{l|hi|फ़िल्म}} or {{l|hi|अलार्म क्लॉक}}. If the rules were clearly defined and implemented, then manual transliteration won't be required for Hindi, unless there are exception. I only know that Hindi speakers habitually avoid using [[nuqta]] and [[candra]] ("chandra"), so even when they write {{l|hi|फिल्म}}, they still pronounce it "film" and {{l|hi|कॉफ़ी}} can be written as {{l|hi|काफी}} without any affect on pronunciation. We can transliterate such words as they are written (without the nuqta and chandra) but keep nuqta-words and chandra-words as lemmas. --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 10:26, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

::: I don't have any Hindi resources at hand so I'm not sure about the pronunciations of these words either. I do have some hard-copy Nepali dictionaries, and Nepali has a lot of words which are exceptions of pronunciation rules, mainly nouns, numerals and adjectives. Hindi and English loanwords often retain their pronunciations in Nepali, becoming exceptions. I would envisage Hindi to be largely the same, considering its large loanword proportion. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 11:05, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

::::Hindi is very phonetic, more than Nepali, AFAIK. The mismatches between written and spoken are minimal. Missing nuqta, candra is like "cafe" instead of "café" or Russian "ребенок" instead of "[[ребёнок]]". Foreign words are written phonetically and pronounced in the native way, foreign accent is not standard. --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 11:44, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

::: [[User:Atitarev|Anatoli]], in ''written'' Hindi, foreign borrowings are very rare (unless you are writing in a Persianized register, then it's like written Urdu in the Devanagari script), so it's hard to tell how people write English loanwords. Generally speaking, the nuqta and chandra is dropped in writing, but this practice is frowned upon by some. As for spoken Hindi, the nuqta is always pronounced.—[[User:Aryamanarora|Aryamanarora]] <sup>''([[User talk:Aryamanarora|मुझसे बात करो]])''</sup> 18:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
::::True but it's the loanwords from Persian, Arabic and European languages (but not from Sanskrit), which are unregulated and can cause some issues in spelling and pronunciation. Google searches show that nuqta are often dropped in writing, despite the pronunciation but dictionaries should include them as lemmas, if they are pronounced. Failure to write nuqta and chandra created alternative or new pronunciations and cases of overcorrection. It's the same with Arabic [[hamza]] (over and under alif - أ and إ vs ا) and dots under letter yāʾ ي vs ى) and Russian ё instead of е. --[[User:Atitarev|Anatoli T.]] <sup>([[User talk:Atitarev|обсудить]]</sup>/<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Atitarev|вклад]])</sup> 19:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

== Mora counting in [[Template:ja-pron]] ==

Heya Wyang --

I just added a pronunciation to {{m|ja|ディスクジョッキー}}, and had some fun trying to get things to work correctly.  The second mora (ス) is devoiced, but for some reason the template requires <tt>dev='''3'''</tt> instead of the expected <tt>dev='''2'''</tt>.  Similarly, the downstep is after the fourth mora, but specifying <tt>acc=4</tt> results in <tt>[d<del>ì</del>súkú jíꜜョkkìì]</tt> (showing the incorrect behavior when <tt>dev=2</tt>) instead of the expected <tt>[dì<del>sú</del>kú jóꜜkkìì]</tt>.  Experimenting, I found that <tt>acc=5</tt> doesn't work right either, producing <tt>[d<del>ì</del>súkú jóꜜkìì]</tt>, missing the geminate <tt>[k]</tt>.

I dimly recall somewhere that you (or someone else?) had mentioned that the positional arguments count kana instead of morae.  It ''looks'' like <tt>dev</tt> is counting kana, while <tt>acc</tt> is counting morae, which is an unintuitive and undesirable inconsistency.  Sutegana should be consistently counted as part of the preceding regular-sized kana, with the exception of geminate-marking small-っ.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could look into updating the module code.  Pinging [[User:Haplology|Haplology]], [[User:Atitarev|Anatoli]], [[User:TAKASUGI Shinji|Shinji]] as well for your input, and in case Wyang is busy and one of you has the time and coding ability.  ‑‑&nbsp;[[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr&nbsp;Útlendi]]&nbsp;│<sup>''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala&nbsp;við&nbsp;mig]]''</sup> 18:02, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Eirikr, thanks for the heads-up. I fixed the bug in downstep. 'acc' uses morae as this follows the practice in Japanese accent dictionaries, whereas using kana position for devoicing is easier for the inputer. I am happy to have them made consistent if necessary, however time doesn't allow... [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 21:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
:: Thanks for pinging. Frank, you also promised a while to allow multiple syllables to be devoiced, e.g. すこし and しかし.

::: {{ping|Eirikr}}: I could take this task. Would you want both to be counting morae or both counting kana position? How do you plan on changing the rest of the entries after the module is modified? Multiple syllables would be devoiced by putting "dev=1,3" for すこし. --[[User:Kc kennylau|kc_kennylau]] ([[User talk:Kc kennylau|talk]]) 12:59, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:::* [[User:Kc kennylau|kc_kennylau]], ideally, both <tt>acc</tt> and <tt>dev</tt> would count morae -- there is never a case where sutegana are treated separately from the mora to which they belong, with the exception of the geminate-marking small っ.
:::: Re: how to change existing entries, one approach would be to define a different parameter name for devoiced vowels for the new approach, then treat the old one as <code>[VALUE] - 1</code> so they'll appear correctly to readers, and add a maintenance category to flag these for editors (or bots) to go and change them over to the new parameter.  ‑‑&nbsp;[[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr&nbsp;Útlendi]]&nbsp;│<sup>''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala&nbsp;við&nbsp;mig]]''</sup> 05:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

== nhãn kính? ==

: I'd suggest you try something better, rather than just a Vietnamese-English Dictionary (some quotation for starters?). You probably don't know that lexicographers can go pretty far from the truth to make their dictionaries look "complete" or "correct": for example, some might make up false or unattested readings or senses (for example, "truyến" for 傳 or "mùi" for 未 in Thiều Chửu's dictionary); some may even argue words like "bác sĩ" are used "incorrectly" (as in Nguyễn Quốc Hùng's dictionary). I've been consulting Vietnamese academic sources for quite some time and all I've got is disbelief because of the terrible inconsistency; a Vietnamese-English dictionary couldn't be more unreliable. I'm not convinced that such word as "nhãn kính" has ever been in actual use, unless in some Chinese text in the past (Vietnamese writers did write in Chinese). 
: As for "misreading", what I mean is non-conventional Sino-Vietnamese readings. Those can be dialectal variants or simply outright misreadings due to confusion with character shapes; unfortunately there's no way to tell which is which so I just had to go with "misreading".

:::Like I said, I'd like to be shown some '''quotation''' or the like to prove its '''practical legimtimacy''', whether in the past or present. Thiều Chửu's ''Hán Việt tự điển'' and Đào Duy Anh's ''Hán Việt từ điển'' are essentially '''Chinese-Vietnamese''' dictionaries: even basic entries like ''nhãn'' aren't qualified as Vietnamese since we don't say "người có hai ''nhãn''" but we say "người có hai ''mắt''". Sino-Vietnamese elements like ''nhãn'' are not used as legitimate words, but only as bound morphemes in a limited number of borrowed compounds as a whole; '''not''' all Sino-Vietnamese words are practical words (I'd love to claim *''mạn hoạ'' as a Vietnamese counterpart of ''manga'', ''manhua'' and ''manhwa'' but I just can't because no one uses it for that purpose); and you might notice that Thiều Chửu's dictionary only cite Chinese text. The article you refered to basically explains '''Chinese characters'''; I'd like to know in what period of history people actually used *''viễn vọng kính'' instead of ''kính viễn vọng''.
:::Even well-known dictionaries like Thiều Chửu's has some questionable information. Like I said, it provides strange readings even for common Han character. 傳 has one (basically) unattestable reading "truyến". It's defined as some sort of "station". But when I searched for it on Google or Google Books, all I got are stupid misspellings like "*truyến thuyết", "*truyến giáo". Another example is 子 which has the reading "tí" considered as Sino-Vietnamese; it is just plain irregular for the MC rising tone to evolve into the Vietnamese ''sắc'' tone, and "[[Tí]]" is more likely to be an "Old Sino-Vietnamese" or "nativised Sino-Vietnamese" reading just like "[[Mùi]]", "[[Thìn]]", "[[Mẹo]]". ''mô'' only occurs in ''Nam mô'' so I suspected it was a mere irregular variant of "vô" which was borrowed wholly in the saying ''Nam mô A Di Đà Phật'', and like I said there's no telling what its true nature might be so I went with "misreading".

== Tibetic language classification ==

Howdy Wyang! I'm not sure we've spoken before (please correct me if I'm wrong). I was thinking of working on the classification of Sino-Tibetan languages, which can be seen [[Module:User:kc_kennylau/ancestor_chain|here]] if you scroll down to ''Proto-Sino-Tibetan''. At first look, I realize we should probably have a Tibetic family that stems from Old Tibetan, but what other major families/proto-languages should I add? Also, whom else should we included in this language discussion? Thanks for your help! —<span class="Latf" style="font-size: 100%">[[User:JohnC5|John]][[User talk:JohnC5|C5]]</span> 15:42, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

:Hi JohnC5, the STEDT database has [http://stedt.berkeley.edu/~stedt-cgi/rootcanal.pl/group/1 a neat classification system] for Sino-Tibetan languages, which forms the basis of the phylogeny used in Appendix:Proto-Sino-Tibetan pages here ([[Wiktionary talk:About Proto-Sino-Tibetan]]). A problem with the proto-languages within the language family is that only a handful were uncontroversial and had been variously reconstructed. A lot of the times researchers disagree on the basic divisions of Sino-Tibetan, for example the placement of Chinese in the phylogeny. An example of a fairly complete page of all currently known languages is {{m|sit-pro|*g-sum}}. [[User:Angr]] has been a prolific Burmese contributor on Wiktionary and is probably interested in this topic too. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 02:35, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

== Thai entries ==

Hello! There are several issues concerning Thai entries.

# Certain entries are automatically given [[:Category:Thai terms spelled with รร]], a category intended for the terms in which {{lang|th|-รร}} serves as a vowel (e.g. {{th-l|ครรลอง}}, {{th-l|บรรเจิด}}, {{th-l|บรรลัย}}, {{th-l|สรรหา}}, etc.). But there are terms which do no fall under such category (e.g. {{th-l|นครราชสีมา}}, {{th-l|นครรัฐ}}, etc.), because the letters {{lang|th|[[ร]]}} are just together (not serving as a vowel); yet their entries are put into this category. Can you fix any related template or module to allow exceptions?
# The function "p=" in [[:Template:th-l]] does not work anymore. For example, the template transliterates {{lang|th|[[ดร.]]}} as ''dɔɔn.'' (<nowiki>{{th-l|ดร.}}</nowiki> gives {{th-l|ดร.}}), but the correct pronunciation is ''dɔɔ-rɔɔ''. When we use <nowiki>{{th-l|ดร.|p=ดอ-รอ}}</nowiki> to make it transliterate the term as ''dɔɔ-rɔɔ'', it does not work. This seems to happen with other transliteration-related templates too, such as [[:Template:m]] (<nowiki>{{m|th|ดร.|tr=dɔɔ-rɔɔ}}</nowiki> gives {{m|th|ดร.|tr=dɔɔ-rɔɔ}}) and [[:Template:l]] (<nowiki>{{l|th|ดร.|tr=dɔɔ-rɔɔ}}</nowiki> gives {{l|th|ดร.|tr=dɔɔ-rɔɔ}}). Can you fix this too?

::: You might see that the module/template sometimes gives a transliteration different from that given on the page. An example is {{lang|th|[[ดร.]]}} The module/template keeps transliterating it as ''dɔɔn.'', despite a different transliteration having been given on the page.
::: Furthermore, manual transliterations are sometimes needed. For example, the homograph {{lang|th|[[เพลา]]}} can be pronounced ''plao'' (meaning "wheel") and ''pee-laa'' (meaning "time"). At present, the module only transliterates {{lang|th|[[เพลา]]}} as ''plao''. And even though different pronunciations have been provided on the page of {{lang|th|[[เพลา]]}}, the module will generate a transliteration according to the first pronunciation only. When we need the second pronunciation, a manual transliteration will thus be required.
::: A concrete example is on the page {{lang|th|[[เวลา]]}}, where ''pee-la'' is required for {{lang|th|[[เพลา]]}}. But the template generates ''plao'' for it. And the manual transliteration, such as <nowiki>{{th-l|เพลา|p=เพ-ลา}}, {{l|th|เพลา|tr=pee-laa}}, or {{m|th|เพลา|tr=pee-laa}}</nowiki>, does not work.

:Safe... in most of the usage instances. I've thought about cases like that and how to deal with interdialectal correspondences. My opinion is we need to develop better infrastructure for accommodating these. We need to combine the qualifying tag with the link itself, possibly in the form of a new template along the lines of <code><nowiki>{{zh-var|c,h|靚}}</nowiki></code>, or even better, combining all dialectal information e.g. <code><nowiki>{{zh-var|c,h:靚|mn:媠}}</nowiki></code>. This template would then grab the pronunciations according to the variant info. Secondly we need to think about where to put all the "see also"-type information such as this. This kind of information is mostly sense-specific. Unfortunately Wiktionary has a poorly designed support for building a clever dictionary, but we can gradually improve the skeleton. Codes such as <code><nowiki>{{zh-var|c,h:靚|mn:媠}}</nowiki></code> should be placed immediately after the line of definition that says "beautiful", cf. the format of sense 14 in [[個]].

:: Yes, the script as a whole (along with most of its characters) is a Chinese invention, but not all of the individual characters are of Chinese origin.

::::::We should look at the rules themselves to assess their appropriateness, not by the fact the rules are implemented without citing the rationales. There are two cons of placing this as etymology in Translingual: first is that this is a misuse of the word "etymology" - "Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. " (Wikipedia); second is that the origin of a glyph is always language-dependent, and it doesn't make sense to say a character originated as a phono-semantic character Translingually (e.g. [[住]]).

== Thai vowels "e" and "ee" ==

{{ping|Octahedron80}} Sorry to bother you again. Would you please fix the Thai module, as the vowel "{{lang|th|เ-}}" ("ee" - long) is now rendered as "e" (short)? For example, it renders {{m|th|เดดสะมอเร่|tr=-}} as "dét-sà-mɔɔ-rê", but correctly it should be "déet-sà-mɔɔ-rêe". Thank you very much, sir. --[[User:Iudexvivorum|iudexvivorum]] ([[User talk:Iudexvivorum|talk]]) 05:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

It seems like the module renders the vowel short if there is a tone mark. For example, {{th-l|เร}} vs {{th-l|เร่}}, {{th-l|เห}} vs {{th-l|เห้}}. --[[User:Iudexvivorum|iudexvivorum]] ([[User talk:Iudexvivorum|talk]]) 08:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Guys - what should the rule regarding this be? [http://www.thai-language.com/ref/vowels Vowels@Thai-language] says "When any tone mark appears with เ--, or in some rare cases, such as เพชร , the syllable has a short vowel sound". Is this correct? Thanks! [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 10:09, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

# "เ-" always gives a long vowel sound in open syllables. As for closed syllables, "เ-" + tone marks can give both short and long sounds.
# This is my suggestion: You may fix the module to let it render "เ-" as a long sound, because (1) whenever a short sound is needed, we can just add the vowel shortener (as in the case of "เพชร", which is respelt as "เพ็ด"), (2) there is no vowel extender in Thai, so if the module automatically produces a short sound, how would we extend it when a long sound is needed? Or you may create a vowel extension parameter or function for the module or related templates.

== Homophone ==

I have an idea. It would be better if th-pron table can display homophones as another row. There are a lot of homophones in Thai, for example, กาญจน์, กาน, กานต์, กานท์, การ, การณ์, การย์, กาล, กาฬ all are read 'กาน' (gaan). They should display under the pronunciation section. At the first state, we could add homophones by hand. --[[User:Octahedron80|Octahedron80]] ([[User talk:Octahedron80|talk]]) 05:08, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
:Yes, that is a good idea. I can't think of a way to automatically make the template detect homophones in existing pages. But a workaround is to compile a list of homophones, e.g. [[Module:zh/data/cmn-hom]] (effect: [[暴利]]). This list can be produced automatically with a script. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 05:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

== th-pron → thwikt ==

Hi. I copy your th-pron module to use on Thai Wiktionary. But I must reduce some functions such as getCharSeq and Paiboon because they are not needed there. I also begin collect Thai homophones and then modify your code to display them later. --[[User:Octahedron80|Octahedron80]] ([[User talk:Octahedron80|talk]]) 06:09, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

PS I don't know what ''cimenohp'' is. But I suggest not to use it in id= because id= cannot be duplicated. (The function can be called many times.) Should use in class= instead. --[[User:Octahedron80|Octahedron80]] ([[User talk:Octahedron80|talk]]) 06:27, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

:::It says that Australia was recorded as {{zh-l|*奧大利亞}} in Wei Yuan's 1852 map in ''{{w|Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms}}'' ({{lang|zh|海國圖志}}), with the variant name of ''Nova Hollandia'' ({{lang|zh|新荷蘭地亞}}). A bit of search on the background of Wei Yuan and the previous maps he used as basis for his descriptions, revealed that in fact his was not the earliest use of the word. See this article {{lang|zh|[http://www.taodocs.com/p-8789534.html 近代中国人对澳洲的认识与中澳早期交往]}} in {{lang|zh|《中山大学学报》}}. The name that Wei had used was first used by Xu Jiyu ({{lang|zh|徐繼畬}}) in his 1848 book ''A Short Account of the Maritime Circuit'' ({{lang|zh|《瀛寰志略》}}). The description was as follows:

::{{blockquote|{{lang|zh|其地亙古窮荒，未通別土。前明時西班牙王遣使臣墨瓦蘭由亞墨利加之南西駛，再尋新地。舟行數月，忽見大地，以為別一乾坤。地荒穢，無人跡。入夜磷光亂飛，命名曰火地。又以使臣之名，名之曰墨瓦蠟泥加。西班牙人以此侈航海之能，亦未嘗經營其他。<u>後荷蘭人東來，建置南洋諸島，展轉略地，遂抵此土，於海濱建設埔頭，名之曰'''澳大利亞'''，又稱新荷蘭。</u>}}}}

:::Thus it is clear that the name for Australia in Chinese was from Dutch {{m|nl|Australië}}. The phonetics ({{audio|Nl-Australië.ogg}}) matches better than English ''Aus<u>tra</u>lia'' ({{audio|En-au-Australia.ogg}}) too, especially the syllable {{lang|zh|大}}. Hope it helps.

== Thai transliteration ==

{{ping|Octahedron80}}

=== "ว" as ending consonant ===

Hello!

In general, "ว", when ending a syllable, is transliterated as or as part of the vowel (sometimes represented by "a", sometimes by "o", sometimes by "u", etc.) Examples: {{th-l|กิ่ว}}, {{th-l|เกอว}}, {{th-l|แต๋ว}}, {{th-l|น้าว}}, {{th-l|สั่ว}}, {{th-l|เหี่ยว}}, {{th-l|เอี่ยว}}.

But there are cases that "ว" serves as an independent ending consonant. And this is still not supported by the transliteration module. For example, {{m|th|หมั่นโถว|tr=-}} (respelled as {{lang|th|หฺมั่น-โถว}}) is now automatically transliterated as "màn-twǒo", but it should be "màn-tǒow".

So I am here to beg you to fix it. Thanks a million!

--[[User:YURi|YURi]] ([[User talk:YURi|talk]]) 18:48, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

:Hello! I have fixed the issue at ''màn-tǒow''. Fixing the latter would require fixing the linking template. {{ping|kc_kennylau}} could you please take a look and fix the second case if you can? Thank you, [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 01:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

=== "ๆ" the repetition marker ===

The module transliterates a term with the repetition marker ({{lang|th|[[ๆ]]}}, called ''yá-mók'') incorrectly, despite the term having been defined. An example is on the page {{lang|th|[[ตุ๊กตุ๊ก]]}}, where the term {{lang|th|[[ตุ๊ก ๆ]]}} is transliterated as "dtúk yá-mók", but the correct transliteration should be "dtúk dtúk". --[[User:YURi|YURi]] ([[User talk:YURi|talk]]) 18:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

:I could say that ยะ-มก reading must be removed from ๆ because ตุ๊ก ๆ is linked from there. By the way, the mark has no pronunciation by itself; we just call it like that. (I already remove it.) --[[User:Octahedron80|Octahedron80]] ([[User talk:Octahedron80|talk]]) 01:44, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Do you know which one is "correct" (or more common if both are used): [[並存]] or [[併存]]?

Semantically, 並 seems to make more sense, as it means "together; simultaneous", as opposed to 併 "to combine". However, 併存 is given an entry in [http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/words/4850/ CantoDict] with bing3 cyun4, but I'm quite doubtful of it.

== Etyms at [[무리]] ==

I find the notes at Etym 2 a bit odd, having never before encountered mention of an ancient word ''*mol'' for “sun”.  Is there other evidence for this, or is Seo pulling something out of the air?

FWIW, there's an apparently parallel cluster of terms in JA that have a similar {{IPAchar|⟨mVrV⟩}} consonant structure, and which all have to do with roundness and grouping: 
* {{IPAchar|⟨marV⟩}}:
** {{m|ja|丸|tr=maru</i>, older <i>maro||circle|pos=noun}}
** {{m|ja|毬|tr=mari||ball|pos=possibly obsolete; might be derivable as the {{m|ja|連用形}} or “continuous or stem form” of hypothetical verb ''*maru'' “to be round”}}
* {{IPAchar|⟨murV⟩}}:
** {{m|ja|村|tr=mura||village|pos=possibly derivable as the {{m|ja|未然形}} or “incomplete form” of ''muru'', indicating something in an ongoing state of grouping-together-ness; then again, terms with {{IPAchar|/a/}} tend to have an emphasis on “outside / outward / external appearance”}}
** {{m|ja|群る|tr=muru||to form a group, to bunch together|pos=typically said of animals; superseded by modern {{m|ja|群れる}}, ''mureru''}}
** {{m|ja|室|tr=muro||room, chamber|pos=terms with {{IPAchar|/o/}} tend to have an emphasis on “inside / inward / inherent quality”}}
* {{IPAchar|⟨morV⟩}}:
** {{m|ja|森|tr=mori||forest|pos=appears to be semantically related to the idea of “group; bunch”; might be derivable as the {{m|ja|連用形}} or “continuous or stem form” of ''moru'' below}}
** {{m|ja|盛る|tr=moru||to pile up, to be a lot in one place}}
** {{m|ja|諸|tr=moro||lots of something, all of something, both of something}}

This cluster in JA makes me wonder if the etyms listed at [[무리]] might be closer to cognate than Seo seems to suggest.  ‑‑&nbsp;[[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr&nbsp;Útlendi]]&nbsp;│<sup>''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala&nbsp;við&nbsp;mig]]''</sup> 17:01, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

:I agree with you. I find the *''mol'' root for "sun" a bit shaky. I haven't got Seo at hand (to see if other languages are cited), and the other Korean etymological books I have do not propose an etymology for ''muri'' beyond Middle Korean. But interestingly, Starostin reconstructed [http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?single=1&basename=%2fdata%2falt%2faltet&text_number=1369&root=config Proto-Altaic *''múra''] for this and hence connecting it with possibly many of the terms above.

::What [[User:Justinrleung|Justin]] has done for Hakka is fantastic and is the way to go for Min Nan (Hokkien and Teochew) here. I'm not very confident with handling the interdialectal differences of Min Nan, but ideally this should be handled on a per-dialect basis or pan-dialect basis (e.g. using "Lîn" to generate "jîn/lîn" for [[人]]). [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 00:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

::For me the problem with the current functionality is that it automatically gives Taiwanese and Zhangzhou pronunciations, taking into account of just sound correspondences. This is a problem because 1.) some differences can't be accounted by sound correspondence alone, and 2.) some word entries cannot be found in the Taiwanese lexicon and are specific to maybe Quanzhou, or Zhangzhou, or Xiamen, or Taiwan, or a combination of them. So, I think if we can do a module where you only need to input one pronunciation, and it would automatically take into account of all the sound correspondences in the other dialects, but would leave the editor the option of excluding one dialect or retaining only one (if the word entry is exclusive to one dialect), or modifying the pronunciation of one specific dialect that would otherwise be automatically generated through sound correspondences but has specific pronunciations that cannot be accounted for by sound correspondences alone. --[[User:Mar vin kaiser|Mar vin kaiser]] ([[User talk:Mar vin kaiser|talk]]) 14:54, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

: The Thai script is not very phonetic and spellings cannot be reliably used to predict the pronunciations of words. [[Module:th-translit]] is reserved for transliterating a Thai word as if the spelling is a "phonetic respelling" and reliably reflects the pronunciation (That's what "translit" modules do), whereas the function {{code|lua|getTranslit}} in [[Module:th]] obtains the phonetic respelling from the actual entry and feeds it into [[Module:th-translit]] to transliterate it. The reason [[Module:th-translit]] has to be bypassed after [[Module:links]] is because feeding a non-phonetic respelling into the transliteration will generate erroneous results ([[User:CodeCat]]), and the reason I made [[Module:links]] feed into [[Module:th]] rather than [[Module:th-translit]] is because the reverse would result in misnomers ([[User:Wikitiki89]]; i.e. the "translit" module [[Module:th-translit]] used for non-translit purposes; which is why [[Module:zh-translit]] does not exist).

:: ''interprets the Title linked to'' ([[Module:links]]) → ''feeds Title into {{code|lua|getTranslit}} to extract the actual "Phonetic respelling"'' ([[Module:th]]) → ''feeds actual "Phonetic respelling" into the translit module'' ([[Module:th-translit]]) → ''produces the Paiboon transcription of "Phonetic respelling"'' ([[Module:th-pron]]) ✔ ([[User:Wyang]])

:: ''interprets the title linked to'' ([[Module:links]]) → <span style="color:red">''feeds Title into the translit module'' ([[Module:th-translit]])</span> → ''produces the Paiboon transcription of Title'' ([[Module:th-pron]]) ✘ ([[User:CodeCat]])

: I am a bit annoyed by the repetitive editing that has to be done about this simply because someone keeps {{diff|38648720||reverting functional versions}} to dysfunctional ones. If you don't know why the code is there, investigate further or ask around until you find the answer; don't {{diff|38648725||touch it}}, {{diff|38648732||break it and ask others to explain why your edit broke things}}. I hate to see so much time being wasted on futile discussions like this. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 23:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
:: I still think all this logic is completely unnecessary. If it's possible for your custom code to generate a correct transliteration, why can't that code be used in [[Module:th-translit]]? Clearly, if the transliteration module is generating bad transliteration, then ''that'' is where the problem lies and that's what needs to be fixed. There is no need for your workaround and until you make it clear why it is, it's not going back in. Fix the Thai modules, don't expect generic modules to cater to the bad module code of one language. —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 01:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

::: What the hell are you talking about? "Fix" what?? The transliteration caters perfectly well to phonetically respelled words. Do you any idea that there are languages that use non-phonetic scripts at all? Fix your [[Module:links]] so that it takes care of languages which require an additional level of phonetic respelling extraction. And in the meantime, go away and stop breaking things. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 01:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:::: The transliteration module should transliterate ''all'' words. That's the whole point. If there are some words that it cannot transliterate, then it needs to be fixed so that it can. The fact that, with your edit to [[Module:links]], it is possible to get the correct transliteration, proves that it is technically possible for the transliteration module to get the transliteration correct without that edit. So it will continue to be contested, and I suggest fixing the transliteration module to transliterate these words properly. —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 02:24, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

::::: The transliteration module should transliterate all words, if the words in the language are transliterable. For languages where the majority of words have differing transliteration and pronunciation outcomes, there should be additional modules that help automatically generate the transliterations and this should be taken into consideration in the generic link-generating modules. It is not the responsibility of the transliteration module to generate the correct transliteration when frankly, there is not much the transliteration module could do. Putting codes into the transliteration module which actually parse through the entry Wikitext and extract certain parts of the text '''is not transliterating the term''', and treating it as if it actually is or ought to do whatever it can to provide the upstream master modules the transliterations is setting it up for disaster in the future. The reason for this is '''transliteration and pronunciation are two very different things'''. For one, imagine developing a Wiktionary gadget or an external interface that functions to only transliterate non-Latin script in any language to the Latin alphabet. Then among all the transliteration modules on Wiktionary, the Thai "transliteration" module would fail the expectations and return nonsensical results. The lack for support for such languages on the linking template interface has had a long history and has resulted in a number of custom-made linking templates, namely {{temp|zh-l}}, {{temp|ko-l}}, {{temp|ja-l}}, {{temp|vi-l}} and {{temp|th-l}}, when most of the special features of these templates could have been addressed if the designers of the core linking templates had borne in mind that there are numerous languages which have other (non-alphabetic) characteristics desired in their linking templates and had consequently attempted to accommodate non-European languages. In the absence of this centralised support the best one could do is redirect the central linking template to the custom-made one, or relay the part of the linking template that needs to be customised, which is what I was trying to do. This is only a fraction of the language-specific linking problem (the actual problem that needs attention), as in all the other cases the language-specific linking template (e.g. <tt><nowiki>{{ko-l|...}}</nowiki></tt>) and the central linking template (e.g. <tt><nowiki>{{l|ko|...}}</nowiki></tt>) are still two separate systems.

:::::: You still don't understand. If the code that has been added to [[Module:links]] is capable of generating the correct transliteration, then similar code added to [[Module:th-translit]] is capable of this as well. So please change this so that special-case code is no longer needed in a generic language-indifferent module. If you are not able to do this, then I see no other option than to disable automatic transliteration for Thai entirely, until someone fixes the transliteration module so it generates correct transliterations. —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 12:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

::::::: I just spent 20 minutes explaining the rationale of it above, and yet you are still asking me to "fix" (sigh) the transliteration module. Despite what I wrote in bold above.

:::::::: You're ignoring me as well. I know that what I'm asking is possible, because your custom code in [[Module:links]] is doing just that. If custom code in [[Module:links]] is capable of generating a proper transliteration, then that same or similar custom code, placed in [[Module:th-translit]], can do it too. So please do so. —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 12:44, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::::: Ignoring you? You asked why not put the code in [[Module:th-translit]] instead, which I responded with the rationale in detail above, explaining why that is utterly inappropriate. Did you care to read it at all? You seem not, because all you said was asking me to again put the code in [[Module:th-translit]] so that the module is "fixed"! Where is your response to my comments?? [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 12:50, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: It is very appropriate to put the code there. Much more than it is to put it in [[Module:links]]! After all, it is code to provide a transliteration when other modules such as [[Module:links]] request one. Currently, it's not providing the right transliteration, but instead of remedying that, you instead added workaround code to [[Module:links]]. That workaround code is now being removed, but you don't want to change [[Module:th-translit]] to compensate. So I see no other option but to disable automatic transliteration for Thai entirely, until this is fixed. —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 12:54, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

::::::::::: Again I failed to see your response to my points above (I will copy it here for you – see below). I have explained the reasoning ''ad nauseum'', '''which you never cared to respond to'''.

::::::::::: Again and again, your comments are nothing but falsehoods. Let me break it down sentence-by-sentence to demonstrate why it is making me feel so insulted:
:::::::::::# <span style="color:red">"After all, it is code to provide a transliteration when other modules such as [[Module:links]] request one."</span> – Did you see this boldified sentence in my comment, at all? "Putting codes into the transliteration module which actually parse through the entry Wikitext and extract certain parts of the text '''is not transliterating the term'''".
:::::::::::# <span style="color:red">Currently, it's not providing the right transliteration.</span> – Are you seriously kidding me? This was what I wrote before: "The transliteration caters perfectly well to phonetically respelled words." You've got to be kidding.

::::::::::: Why you choose to respond in such a way I can only speculate. Most probably this is due to (1) arrogance; (2) ignorance and (3) mindlessness. I'm not sure which is the primary reason. But the '''threatening''' at the end of your last comment is making me lean towards option 1. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 13:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

== suggestion re the hanzi box ==

I have a suggestion regarding the hanzi box. Would it be possible to have a way to include alternative forms in the hanzi box? At the moment we have trad. and simp. - could we have a third category - variant? At the moment all we can do is add a separate header for "alternative forms" at the top which isn't a very elegant solution. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 11:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

: I agree with you - the "Alternative forms" header is definitely non-ideal. If we incorporate a "variant" row underneath the main table, it would have to be done without the column-to-column character correspondence as is the case with simp/trad (as the nth character in a variant form is often not a variant character of the nth character in the trad form, e.g. [[垃圾]]). So this functionality might be added in the form of a new row with merged cells, similar to the |lit= parameter ([[吃醋]]); and the content could be displayed by default, or collapsed (like homophones in [[กัน]]). What do you think? [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 00:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:: Agreed. Something like the lit parameter would be ideal, since it makes it clear that it's not merely a simp or trad form but a variant that could itself have its own simp and trad forms. I think it's OK to display it as default and not as a collapsable box, since its on the right and there should be plenty of room for it to display. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 02:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:::Ok cool! I wrote some codes at [[Module:zh-forms]] for this, using "|alt=" argument with multiple alt forms separated by commas. "-" following the alt form can be used for writing qualifiers. For effects see [[吉他]], [[現在]], [[中]], [[蘿蔔]] (only the first five shown). Let me know your thoughts on this. If anyone has any suggestions on anything about the box, especially regarding formatting and colours (which I'm terrible at), let me know or just try it out. Thanks!

== Three requests ==

I have three requests, if I may. 

1) Would it be possible to disable definitions for individual characters in the hanzi box if a literal explanation is already given, e.g. at [[小朋友]]? I think this would look neater and more presentable for users. We already do this for phonetic entries like [[堪培拉]].
 
2) Would it be possible to categorise all entries that have classifiers? E.g. the entries [[汽車]], [[摩托車]] and [[公交車]] could be put in a category like "Chinese nouns which take the classifier 輛/辆". I think this would be immensely useful. 

3) Would it be possible to make the classifier tag automatically convert trad into simp forms? This would make editing much easier. Automatic pinyin would be a bonus too.

Cheers! [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 16:48, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

No problem mate.

For (1), I think the info in Etymology duplicates the info in the hanzi-box and should be merged there; the glosses should be taken by the hanzi box too, if they are sufficiently different from the auto-generated ones and there is benefit in manually specifying the glosses. And the literal meaning will be displayed below in the box.

For (2,3), this is a good idea and I have added code to make articles categorise to "Category:Chinese nouns classified by .../...". Trad-to-simp is in place too, but I'm not sure if I should add Pinyin since the template also includes other dialects without romanisations.

I also added {{temp|zh-classifier}} and {{temp|zh-classifier-cat}}, for use on the classifier page ([[棵]]) and category page ([[:Category:Chinese nouns classified by 棵]]) respectively.

Cheers, [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 23:28, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

* Brilliant work. I was also unsure about adding pinyin to the classifier info - the fangyan issue aside, it would make the definitions look cluttered. Thanks very much. [[User:Tooironic|---&#62; Tooironic]] ([[User talk:Tooironic|talk]]) 05:39, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

== Attention: edit summary ==

Wyang, thank you for your contributions, which are large in number as well as importance and significance. I would like to ask if you could kindly add an edit summary. For example, your recent revision to [[的]] deleted content referring to Baxter-Sagart (2014) and whether that was your contribution or otherwise, I believe it would be great for all of our understanding and very consistent with the collaborative spirit here if your edit summary indicated the reason for removal, or other nontrivial modification, to the content in general. Thank you. [[User:Hongthay|Hongthay]] ([[User talk:Hongthay|talk]]) 14:42, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

:Thanks for the kind words. I will try to add summaries in the future. For [[的]], the newly added Old Chinese pronunciations in {{temp|Han compound}} make the Baxter-Sagart (2014) pronunciations redundant. Thanks, [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 22:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

== Bug in [[Module:ja-pron]] ==

As you can see at [[鴛鴦#Etymology_3]], えんおう is producing {{IPAchar|[e̞n.o̞ː]}} instead of the expected {{IPAchar|[ẽ̞ɴo̞ː]}}.  I had a quick scan through the code, but I'm unfamiliar with it and I don't have a lot of time today.  I'd appreciate it greatly if you could take a look.  ‑‑&nbsp;[[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr&nbsp;Útlendi]]&nbsp;│<sup>''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala&nbsp;við&nbsp;mig]]''</sup> 19:44, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

:Hi Eirikr, not a problem. I fixed the nasalisation. For 'ɴ', should it be 'n'? I thought 'ɴ' is only found at the end of a word. Cheers, [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 02:05, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
:* Thank you!  And re: {{IPAchar|[ɴ]}}, I think this also appears where {{m|ja|ん}} occurs between vowels, as in ''en'ō'' or ''kan'yō'' or ''han'ei''.  More at '''{{w|Japanese phonology#The moraic nasal /ɴ/}}'''.  The description there is broadly accurate, except that some speakers do clearly pronounce a {{w|uvular nasal}}, and not just a nasalized vowel.  At any rate, the {{m|ja|ん}} in these words is definitely not an {{IPAchar|[n]}} -- pronouncing it with an {{IPAchar|[n]}} sounds very un-Japanese.  :) &nbsp; ‑‑&nbsp;[[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr&nbsp;Útlendi]]&nbsp;│<sup>''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala&nbsp;við&nbsp;mig]]''</sup> 19:43, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

== 하나님 vs 하느님 ==

I added the sentence "Perhaps modeled from {{ko-l|하느님|god, heaven}}" which you deleted. What I mean is, maybe when the Protestants came across the word {{ko-l|하느님}}, they didn't like it and changed a vowel to make it {{ko-l|하나님}}. --[[User:Kc kennylau|kc_kennylau]] ([[User talk:Kc kennylau|talk]]) 03:02, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
:I see what you mean Kenny. I was incorrect with the comment, and after doing a bit of research it seems more complicated than this. 하느님 was 하ᄂᆞ님(蘆溪 3:3)＞하나님(敎本時調 1792)＞하느님 (note the already happened simplification of -ln- > -n-), and the Middle Korean form contained the obsolete vowel [[ᆞ]] (Yale: o) which may become modern ᅳ (u) or ᅡ (a). Indeed dialectally 하늘 (hanul) is 하날 (hanal) in much of South Korea - including 慶北, 慶南, 全北, 全南. It may be the dialectal development of 하ᄂᆞ님 > 하나님 which is later adopted by the Protestants to unify the appellation, partly because it already exists as a dialectal form and partly because of the association with 하나. Some Korean references are [https://namu.wiki/w/%ED%95%98%EB%82%98%EB%8B%98 here] and [https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%ED%95%98%EB%8A%90%EB%8B%98#.ED.95.98.EB.82.98.EB.8B.98 here].

== 창조하시니라 ==

Which form of {{ko-l|창조하다}} is {{lang|ko|창조하시니라}} (''changjohasinira'')? --[[User:Kc kennylau|kc_kennylau]] ([[User talk:Kc kennylau|talk]]) 03:29, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
: —시니라 is very commonly found in the Bible. —[[시]]— is the honorific suffix, and —[[니라]] an old-styled declarative ending carrying a didactic tone. It's not included in the template though unfortunately. The Korean conjugation template doesn't aim to be exhaustive as that would be impossible.

::: Fixed. {{ping|kc_kennylau}} The ko-x template handles hanja in the form of 혼돈(混沌) in the first parameter. Adding links is probably too much work than is necessary - I would suggest using a module to add link to all Korean strings and redirecting them to the appropriate lemma form, and automating the '-'.

:::: Automating links and hyphens is arguably impossible. Firstly, you have to distinguish between "-i" which is the subject marker, and "i" which is the adverb maker. --[[User:Kc kennylau|kc_kennylau]] ([[User talk:Kc kennylau|talk]]) 08:31, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
::::: Ah that is fair enough. :) One algorithm would be: if the -i form exists, it is treated as a single word if the no -i form does not exist unless there is manual correction '-'; if the -i form does not exist it is treated as a subject marker. If both forms exist, it is marked as requiring human attention. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 08:43, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

# What does 아주 mean?
# What does 오나 mean?
# What does 다라 in 가다라 mean? Is it the same with 나라?

: The lyrics of Daejanggeum are in obsolete Korean, so it has to be translated (like 文言文). [https://namu.wiki/w/%EC%98%A4%EB%82%98%EB%9D%BC(%EB%85%B8%EB%9E%98) Here] is a translation by music composer Im Sehyeon.
: —[[나라]] is an old-styled ending equivalent to modern —[[너라]]. Hence 오나라 = 오너라, one of the imperative forms of [[오다|오—]].
: [[아주]] is 'truly, really'.
: —[[나]] is a familiar style interrogative suffix; 오나 means 'will you come'.
: It's probably the same as 나라. I'm not sure either. [[User:Wyang|Wyang]] ([[User talk:Wyang|talk]]) 01:13, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
