Category talk:Austronesian languages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've been writing pages for language groups that are part of the Oceanic languages, and wasn't quite sure how I should categorise them. Someone added Admiralty Islands languages to this category. Is this appropriate, or should we have a category for Austronesian language families? I'm a little undecided about this, which is why I haven't been categorising as I've gone.

- I think they should only be used for stable nodes such as Oceanic. Otherwise we'd have to recategorize with each vagary of taxonomy. kwami (talk) 19:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Redundant categorization
There is no reason for a language to appear in both a sub-group category and in the main language family. I am gradually removing most individual languages from Category:Austronesian languages. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 09:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
