[edit] Confused
It's all a bit confused at the moment, but do bear with me. The plan is to turn Languages of the Caucasus into a shorter, more overarching article with some details on all the articles spoken in the Caucasus - this is just for those languages indigenous to the Caucasus (per Britannica). I'm hoping to turn this article into a (reasonably detailed) "main article" for the subarticles on the individual Paleocaucasian language families. Moreschi (talk) (debate) 16:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- "Caucasian languages" sounds like a name of a language family, but there is no agreement among linguists that such a family exists, and even the relationship between Northeast and Northwest is a matter of debate.
- I see no reason not to merge this with Languages of the Caucasus. It can have a list of all languages spoken there, including Slavic, Iranian, Armenian and Turkic, and information about the proposed Caucasian super-families. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I completely agree with you, Amire80, and support the merge. Maybe instead of giving some information on every Caucasian language in this article, one could summarize the most typical features of each of the three families and link to the individual pages for them. — N-true (talk) 15:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I copied the discussion to Talk:Languages of the Caucasus. It should continue at the target article. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 16:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
