[edit] Rename?
Shouldn't the lemma be called Darkhad (with d instead of t)? Yaan 15:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Possibly. Do we have Mongolian language sources to confirm the correct transcription? --Latebird 14:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
chris kaplonski's website has a list and also links to a map. For some reason his URL seems to be blacklisted (WTF?). It's www dot chriskaplonski dot com -> Mongolia -> ethnic groups or so. Yaan 07:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, kaplonski is usually quite reliable. Maybe he was overused... In that case I can fully support the rename. --Latebird 09:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Related languages
I'm sure there are more significant related languages than Kalmyk and Buryat, e.g. Khalkha Mongolian. Can someone with a better grasp of linguistics confirm this?
- ALL Mongolic languages are related to each other. The relevant question in this article should be not a laundry list of Mongolic languages, but only the most closely related ones--Kalmyk-Oirat. A reference to the Mongolic languages article should suffice for a more complete listing. (Taivo (talk) 15:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC))
