Talk:Palóc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

well, i am a palóc, and i have to say i never heard of any of the things that this article claims. why would there be two completely different words in Hungarian for Cumans? Kun as well as palóc? It is a very shaky argument.

also palóc are NOT a minority - we are people who speak Hungarian with a different accent. are people from Newcastle a minority in England because they have a distinguished dialect? the way palócs speak Hungarian is actually quite archaic retaining some of the grammar that was discarded in other Hungarian dialects and in "BBC-Hungarian." There are no personal or place-names that include the word "palóc" while the names of of actual preexistent ethnic groups (Cuman-Kun, Jassic-Jász) or current ethnic groups (Serbian-Rác, Slovak-Tót, Romanian-Oláh etc.) all have personal and/or place-names derived from them.

Claims that certain vowels correspond with Turkish pronunciation are also irrelevant - there are a lot of correspondences between palóc and certain English accents as well.

this article is clearly in its toddler-phase, but for future expansion i would suggest that these aspects be taken into consideration.
