Who is Kuipers? Why is the use of the term "Nahals" disparaging? -- Zoe
- Kuiper was the pioneer researcher into the origins of this language. I added a reference.
- From what I've read, "Kalto" is what speakers of this language call it themselves and "Nahali" is used only by others. I suspect that's part of why "Nahals" might be considered disparaging. Jonathunder 03:47, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)
[edit] What is the subject of this article
Originally, and for most of its history, this article was about a language isolate of central India known alternately as Nihali, Nahali, or Kalto. In November, 2006, an editor, without so much as an edit summary, altered the article to state that it is about an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the same general vicinity called Nahali. A new article was created at the same time at Nihali language, about the language isolate. There do seem to be two languages with similar names in the same general region, but I don't see the reason to change the basic subject of this article from one to the other. The incongruity resulting has inspired an anonymous editor to add a passage to these articles arguing with the rest of the article. In order to remedy the situation, I have reverted this article to an early version concerning its original subject. I will redirect Nihali language to this page, and I will transfer the small amount of text available which is about the Indo-Aryan language in question—along with the infobox—to a new article at Nahali language.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 21:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
