[edit] RE: Latin Comments

I do know of one native latin speaker who was the daughter of two classicists

This comment had me amused and curious. Could you tell me who the two classicists were? - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 14:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I would love to know a source of this information as well. Daniel Šebesta (talk • contribs) 14:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

My ex girlfriend in highschool if you must know. The only language she spoke to her parents in was latin, unless others were included in the conversation. She said that to speak English to them when there was no one else present would have felt odd and artificial after speaking latin to them for so many years. (Szfski 19:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Arabic phonology

I noticed your change. Does the cited source support your new edit? Cbdorsett (talk) 04:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it does. If you like I can send you a PDF of the article if you cannot access JSTOR.Szfski (talk) 04:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A request for your mad translation skills

Hello there. I got your name from Category:Translators ar-en. I'm currently working on the article for Honoré de Balzac's novel La Peau de Chagrin. In it, he includes this writing, another image of which can be found here. The writing is (from what I can tell) Arabic, and the translation from the book is here. I wonder if you can tell me how accurate it is. Thanks in advance for your assistance. – Scartol • Tok 13:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
