[edit] Move to Altai language?
We already have Altai Republic and Altai Kray, so using Altai language seems somewhat logical. "Altay language" and "Altai language" seem about equally popular on google, but "Altaian language" [1] seems to be much more popular than "Altayan language" [2].
- Google Schlar hits:
- Altai language: 64 [3]
- Altay language: 6 [4]
- Altaian language: 19 [5]
- Altayan language: 0 [6]

[edit] Which "dialect" is sound system?
According to Ethnologue, Northern Altai and Southern Altai are not mutually intelligible. According to this article, the sounds of Altai differ from dialect to dialect. So why is there a sound chart here without being labelled as to which Altai it refers to? This needs to be moved to either Northern Altai language or Southern Altai language.

[edit] Written Altai
According to Ethnologue, written Altai is based on Southern Altai and is rejected by children of Northern Altai. Any objections to moving the writing paragraph to Southern Altai language? (Taivo (talk) 13:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC))
