Talk:Paraguayan Guaraní (language)

[edit] Reinventing the Wheel?

This page should be merged with the page Guaraní language, shouldn't it?

No, because, in addition to the main articles on Guaraní language and Guaraní languages, there are individual articles on each specific Guaraní language, e.g. Chiripá, Eastern Bolivian Guaraní, Mbyá Guaraní, Paraguayan Guaraní (language), Western Argentine Guaraní, etc. This is normal. The same occurs with other similar cases of closely-related languages. For example, for the Wichí people of Argentina, there are three language articles: Wichí Lhamtés Güisnay, Wichí Lhamtés Nocten, and Wichí Lhamtés Vejoz. What needs to be improved, however, is the linkage. For example, the articles for the three Wichí languages just mentioned are linked to each other but not to the article on the Wichí people, which is odd. Likewise, the separate articles on the individual Guaraní languages should probably have links to each other and to the articles on Guaraní, Guaraní language, Guaraní languages, and Tupi-Guarani languages. The reason they don't is that these are mostly stubs created with information from the Ethnologue, which is why they are linked only or primarily to the Ethnologue. But they can be expanded.
