Category:Lists of similar words in different languages
Per above, and the five remaining members:


 * 1) Appendix:List of similar words with the same meaning in Esperanto and English
 * 2) Appendix:List of similar words with the same meaning in Esperanto and French
 * 3) Appendix:List of similar words with the same meaning in Esperanto and German
 * 4) Appendix:List of similar words with the same meaning in Esperanto and Latin
 * 5) Appendix:List of similar words with the same meaning in French and Italian

Rationale is that its subjective and unworkable. Note that Esperanto as a constructed language is a particular poor choice, because it takes all its words directly from European languages. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Keep and move to: "Similar words with the same meaning" are not the only possible comparison between two languages. Cognates, false cognates and etymologies in common may be suitable for these appendices. How a constructed language borrowed words from other languages may also be explained. --Daniel. 21:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Appendix:English-Esperanto relations
 * Appendix:Esperanto-French relations
 * Appendix:Esperanto-German relations
 * Appendix:Esperanto-Latin relations
 * Appendix:French-Italian relations
 * Note the one above just failed. I can see these turning into Sandboxes or POV wars. Possibly transwiki to another project. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:49, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relations between two languages seems to be more of a topic for Wikipedia than Wiktionary, particularly where there is a relation link between the languages (e.g. Spanish and Italian, Esperanto and many European languages). We already have pages like Appendix:Glossary of false friends (although admittedly that page could do with improving) that cover some of what the relations pages are proposed to do.

 * I agree with Thryduulf. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Kept the entries of this category per no consensus. However, they are as of now redirects to appendices with different titles under a category named Relation appendices, which replaces the category in question. This looks like an abandoned project, though, with a certain potential to either become huge or continue abandoned, like many things here. --Daniel. 18:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * If these articles are kept, the deleted article Appendix:English-French relations should be put back. --Gilward Kukel 17:36, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably. "Appendix:English-French relations" was deleted under an allegation of RFDO failed, but I don't see what RFDO, nor do I see a plausible reason to prolong its deletion. Then I simply restored it now. If there are reasons to want it deleted again, probably all other relation appendices should be deleted too, which can be resolved if someone create new RFDO discussions. --Daniel 23:48, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
