If "erroneously, Evenk language", why is this the name of the article? Yonidebest 00:21, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm just wondering about the same thing. ~~helix84 20:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I tried moving it to "Evenki language" but it said that there was already a page with that name. I think someone ought to look into this: I definitely don't want to screw anything up…—Strabismus 23:34, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the target is a redirect with some edit history, so it requires admin intervention. I've started the procedure in motion below. cab 11:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Total speakers

You show an estimate of 29,000 and one of 7,500. Neither is sourced. Please straighten this out. (Also, does the statistic that the Evenk are 92% Russian-speaking include the ones in China?) Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

7,500 is from the Russian Census 2002 (as stated in the text) and thus applies to Russia. 29,000 is the global figure from Ethnologue and includes Russia, China, and Mongolia. cab 20:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Solon

Is Solon language something different from Evenki? I don't mean to ask whether it's a language or a dialect, but whether it's not just an alternate name for Evenki, as Ethnologue says. --Ptcamn 13:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
