A happy festive season to you. Foolishly I am wasting my holidays in chasing references for the Skye FAC. One I am missing is re the etymology "but no definitive solution has been found to date and the placename may be from a substratum language and simply opaque." referenced to Oftedal, M. (1956) "The Gaelic of Leurbost, Isle of Lewis." In A Linguistic Survey of the Gaelic Dialects of Scotland. Supplementary volume. Norsk Tidskrift for Sprogvidenskap. Oslo. H. Aschehoug. A. I had assumed this was a relatively short supplement but I can see no sign of any page ranges on Google books. If you have a page no. to hand I'd appreciate it. If not I can find another reference easily enough. Ben Mac Dui 12:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Skype, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ligurian language ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. This publication is not a historical biography about Juan Sebastian Elcano, but a travel guide about Bilbao and the Basque Country. Please find an appropriate reference to the matter at hand. Thanks, -- Bashevis6920 ( talk) 18:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
No, sorry, it's very different to say that someone was born in the Basque Country, to say that someone is an ethnic Basque, something that has not even been convincingly shown to exist. -- Bashevis6920 ( talk) 19:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I think this is worthy of some debate, although I am ill-placed and ill-prepared to do so. According to the 2007 American Community survey, roughly 1,445 people speak Scottish Gaelic at home. Though that is a miniscule number when compared with the overall population of America, that is still very significant when compared with the numbers of people speaking Gaelic at home in Scotland. However, it seems that the study did not show whether or not those speakers were concentrated in one particular area or spread across the whole of the country. I do understand that by "native" you mean areas where there are communities in which Gaelic is still spoken, Canada being one such place. I am not familiar enough with the USA or New Zealand or Australia to debate that with you, although I am sure there are experts on Wikipedia who would.
Perhaps the issue is that Scottish Gaelic was once native to Australia, the United States and New Zealand - flourishing Scottish Gaelic speaking communities existed in all three - but they have recently declined to the point that they are no longer spoken. By removing United States, New Zealand and Australia from the "native" countries section on those grounds, could we say that Gaelic is not native to Perthshire?

Well, I can tell you there were significant Scottish Gaelic speaking settlements (i.e. of the significance you are thinking of) roughly at that time in Cape Breton, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Mainland Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec, North Carolina, allegedly parts of Upstate New York, Southern parts of New Zealand (including an entire settlement founded by Cape Breton Gaels) and places in Australia that I'm not so certain about.

Egunon Akerbeltz eta barka erantzun honen atzerapena, denbora faltak eragin du. Onartzen dut eta eskertzen dizut martxoaren 24an " Basque people" artikuluko "History" atalean nik idatzitakoari egin zenion zuzenketa. Aitortzen dut Euskal Herriakiko maitasunak itsutu ninduela; etorkizunean zuzen eta egoki izaten saituko naiz.
Baita arrazoi oso aitortzen dizut ekarpenetan erreferentzirik adierazi behar dela oroitarazten didazunean.
Aitzitik, ene ekarpenari esleitu diozun "propaganda" izendapena ez dut erabat egoki irizten. Gogoan har pentsamendu eta sentimendu politikotan legeak, ofizialtasunak, derrigorrak azken finean, duten eragina. Pentsa, adibidez, egun ofizialki "Nafarroa"-tzat gogartzen dena indarkeriz menperatutako nafar erresumako azken zati penintsularra baino ez dela. Euskal Herriko historia luzeak geure kabuz pentsatzeko eta sentitzeko eskubide, behar eta betekizun eskaintzen eta eskatzen digula uste dut, zentzuz eta neurriz, noski.

Hello Akerbeltz. Although outside Spain Basque Country (greater region), by confusion, is known as "País Vasco", that does not mean it's right. Basque Country (greater region) (Euskal Herria or Vasconia; literally "land of the Basques (people)" or "land of the Basque (language)") is a historical and cultural entity that spans multiple regions of Spain and France, while Basque Country (autonomous community) (Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa or País Vasco) is a Spanish region with political recognition. The Basque Studies Society, "Vasconia" used to refer to Basque Country (greater region) and País Vasco to refer to Basque Country (autonomous community), because they are different denominations. Simply perform a search on your webpage "Vasconia" term. -- Tximitx ( talk) 12:36, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Thought you might be interested in this other source, found in Henry & Elwes (1913) Trees of Great Britain and Ireland '...names of places, derived from U. montana (U. glabra) in Britain and Ireland', quoting from Sir Herbert Maxwell's Scottish Land Names (1894): The old Gaelic name for it was leam (lam), plural, leaman. Ptolemy's Leamanonius Lacus is now Loch Lomond, the lake of the elms, out of which flows the Leven, which is the aspirated form of leamhan (lavan); and it is interesting to find these two forms again side by side in Fife, where are the Lomond Hills overlooking the town of Leven.

Hi, I noticed you reverted a change I made to the Scottish Gaelic article. You changed native to from "United Kingdom" to "Scotland", pointlessly. You gave the reason "it's the UK gov which is signatory to things like the European Charter for M Langs, not Sc Gov)". Of course, this is a large irrelevancy since it's still native to Scotland, which is a country, and therefore belongs best to the article to Scottish Gaelic. The state that recognizes the "signatory to things like the European Charter for M Langs" is, as I said, quite irrelevant. If it were to be managed by the EU, would you put European Union and not Scotland?
If you disagree, please explain.

Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.
A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.
Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).
Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.
Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{ sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)
Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.
If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.
The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.
Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi, had a look at your sandbox. Glad to help with Irish IPA but not sure what version we should go for. I'm sure you know there's three 'main' dialects, as well as the standard. The problem with the standard is that it's a standard for the written language, so no such thing as a standard pronunciation. I'll have a go, and you can change as you want. That's what sandboxes are for. The IPA I'm adding is best described as "Munster standard", so not going into specific differences within Munster Irish, but adding versions that all Munster speakers would find natural as recognize as Munster Irish (and all Irish speakers would recognize it as 'genuine' Irish).

Hello, I see you deleted the Spanish flag from the page Basque Country (autonomous community), and added an invented "rule" of no flags, yet for any region or authonomous community of virtually any other European country, the flag of the country appears there, so Spain should appear on the Basque page, since don't showing it equals to a kind of nationalistic political movement in my opinion. I overreacted a bit when I wrote the comment about the changes in the page, but I still strongly believe the flag shouldn't be removed as for any other region of Spain, the Basque Country is a full region of Spain, it's not a separate nation or neither has a special authonomy status but it's another authonomous community of Spain. I would thank you if you leave it as it is, it's just a small flag accompanying as well the Basque flag and the Alava and Vitoria flag, since I added all of the proper flags in the article and just there, I didn't add them in other parts of the Basque Country page.

I was looking for a simple etymology of "Coignafearn" and looked up Ainmean-àite. Mac an Tàilleir has a lot to say: It is apparently from Cóig na Feàrna and means "The fifth of the alder". He then goes onto say that Strathdearn "contains five cóigs, Coignafearn, Coignascallan, Cóig na Sìthe, Cóig a' Mhuilinn and Cóig nam Fionndaraich. There is a saying comparing the five divisions of Strathdearn (which means the strath of Ireland, referring to the Findhorn River) with those of Ireland, Tha cóig cóigimh an Éirinn 's tha cóig cóigimh an Srath Éireann, ach 's fheàrr aon chóigeamh na h-Éireann na cóig cóigimh Srath Éireann, 'There are five fifths in Ireland and five fifths in the strath of Ireland, but one fifth of Ireland is better than five fifths of the strath of Ireland'. The distinctiveness of Strathdearn's placenames is commented on in another saying, Tha cóig bothan an Loch Abar, cóig gasgan ann am Bàideanach 's cóig cóigean ann an Srath Éireann, 'there are five boths in Lochaber, five gasgs in Badenoch and five cóigs in Strathdearn'." This is all very well but despite all the detail it is still not completely clear to me what "Coignafearn" actually means. "The fifth of the alder" is hardly standard Anglais. I am guessing from the phrase "the five divisions of Strathdearn" that a cóig also means something like a dabhach. Can you enlighten a poor sassenach? Hope you are well.

Hey. I know that Tartessian and Iberian are unverifiable as Vasconic languages, which is why I denoted them with a question mark. I got the idea from the Tyrsenian languages page.

three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three
reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Akerbeltz,
I see you make a lot of contributions with regards to linguistics. I'm interested to know what your interest is in the language of our island lutruwita?

Hello Akerbeltz, I would appreciate you to revert the changes made in Basque Country in the section: Notable people. The definition of a remarkable person is a person who excels in a particular profession or field. Throughout the history of mankind there have been many people who have been notable within their fields of development. Patxi Xabier Lezama Perier is a remarkable person within the field of Basque mythological sculpture, on the contrary Jose Maria Cundin is not a remarkable painter in absolutely nothing. You should stick to the definition of a remarkable person and not your personal valuations. Eskerrik Asko.-- 85.84.35.74 ( talk) 09:45, 17 June 2019 (UTC) Let's not confuse: famous person = Who has fame or is well known among people; What a Notable people = What stands out in a particular profession or field.-- 85.84.35.74 ( talk) 10:30, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi @ Akerbeltz: I noticed you posted a cleanup tag on the article. I see certain problems with it now that you have posted it, I'm assuming it is the mythology stuff? scope_creep Talk 11:54, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
A stub should probably be ok for now and maybe we can find a bit more. I've also gone round and removed his book from all the Basque mythology pages, that was seriously self-promoting. Akerbeltz ( talk) 20:39, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello Akerbeltz: In reference to your edit here, it appears the correct name of that party was in fact "Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico" as Thomstrijd had edited it. What was the basis of your reversal? Thanks, Mercy11 ( talk) 00:43, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello @ Akerbeltz:. You reverted my edit on the Basque page, specifically the short description. I also notice that this is a topic which you devote a significant amount of attention to. Would you be satisfied with expanding the short description to "European ethnic group", to add some specificity, as opposed to only leaving the words "Ethnic group"? werewolf ( talk) 13:36, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Dia dhuibh, Akerbeltz! You fixed the translation of this mountain's name twenty golden years ago. Would it be all right with you if I took the "the" out of one of the possible English translations of this hill's name in the text of the article ("Peak of the wells or springs"), since the Gaelic has the indefinite "fhuaran" (or would you say the English translation is better with the definite article no matter what the Gaelic name has)? I took the liberty of fixing the translation in the infobox (which read "Obscure well/fountain", a result of a misunderstanding that took place in a change right after yours); the infobox translation now reads "Obscure; peak of wells/fountains or Odhran's peak" (no article). Please let me know if you think I should add "the" before "wells" in the infobox, remove it in the article body, or not touch the article anymore. Thank you (and thank you for all your Gaelic-related work)! 999999 ( talk) 03:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
Hiya - I hope you recall our endeavours of yester-year on the Description with fondness. I too am semi-retired here these days but I decided to add something to Scottish island names which just grew arms and legs. It's here and if you have any comments or amendments they would be most welcome. I am afraid it is much less of the fun in unravelling Monro's garbled Gaelic and a bit more simply listing stuff that I have found here and there. I plan to 'go live' with it next weekend. Best, Ben Mac Dui 13:55, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

I've applied semi-protection to the page for 36 hours and invited the IP to respond to your section on the article talk page. If the current situation arises again, once it gets to a point before this (I think you're on 7 reverts in the last 24 hours) then consider reporting the issue at WP:AIV.

Hello! I thought you might be the one to ask about checking the new Basque-related articles here. To me they look very, what's the word... professional. Which is not to say they look bad. It is rare though that a new editor comes up with 11 drafts or new articles in ten days.--- Possibly ( talk) 22:48, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello! This Basque (I think) poet/translator musician was in the news recently so I did up a draft. Do you think he is notable? I do not read Spanish so it is hard to tell. --- Possibly ( talk) 03:01, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I've been trying to create inflectional tables on wiktionary (see the ones I've already made in the respective category) and, although the three now made are based on the paradigms you have explained at your website, they don't explain nouns like lagh or mìle. Do you know a good source (preferably available online or via an institutional login) to follow for a maximally complete overview of the existing inflectional paradigms? Thanks in advance.

Hi, noticed you have an interest in this article. It really does need a good copyedit so I will have another go at this. If you have the language skills, could you provide translation for the non-English sources please? That would help the 'pedia. Friendly regards, Springnuts ( talk) 18:13, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Okay, it's fine if you say that transcription is more accurate and decided to modify the help. I have nothing against that, but now you need to go through the instances of {{ IPA-gd}} and modify them accordingly. That has been my point from the very beginning. Let me remind you IPA is a convention, after all. 〜 イヴァンスクルージ九十八[IvanScrooge98]( 会話) 12:39, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Akerbeltz, you're German and fairly linguistically aware. Can you give me a second opinion on my translation of the two German quotes at Indo-European ablaut, in notes a and b? They are both rather archaic, though ironically too recent for me as a medievalist, and in the first one in particular I am kind of guessing some bits. -- Doric Loon ( talk) 17:08, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

You reverted an edit (by me) on "Scottish Gaelic phonology and orthography", and said “that’s not how this works” could you explain (really don’t know what I did wrong; not arguing against revert just curious). 78.16.141.72 ( talk) 11:58, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Help:IPA/Basque shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being
blocked from editing—especially if you violate the
three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three

I've recently been working on Am Buachaille and friends and (needless to say) I am after a bit of help and hope you may be willing.

Please refrain from making abusive or otherwise inappropriate edit summaries or comments. Your edit summary or comment may have been removed. Please communicate with
civility and refrain from making
personal attacks. Thank you.
You've vandalized at least 3 articles on which I have worked by reverting every change I made with no discussion and no comment besides a personal one, that I was incoherent and incomprehensible. This is not behavior compatible with either WP policy or your experience here. I would be glad to discuss anything you find wrong or incomprehesible. Kindly stop following me around and vandalizing the articles I work on.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been
reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use
your sandbox for that. Thank you.
Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at
List of the Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, you may be
blocked from editing. Persistent deletion of anything I do on a series of articles with bad-mouthing is I believe vandalism. I have had no discussion from you.
