Talk:गमछा

Etymology

Etymology
I have a doubt on this etymology, that the Bengali word gamcha came from Sanskrit अङ्गोञ्छ (aṅgoñcha). I'd expect its inherited cognate to be in Bengali and  or  in Assamese. And this word does exist in Kamta as. Msasag (talk) 16:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It certainly seems to be very different from all the other inherited forms in various languages. Turner lists gamchā under Bihari as a descendant of the Sanskrit. I guess the only way this could work is if the initial a- is dropped (which isn't that strange) but then why would the nasal be detached?
 * Not sure of any other possible source for it though.
 * BTW, I'm attending a Sylheti class that SOAS is offering free online starting tomorrow. I added high tone support for Module:syl-translit but it seems to also need schwa deletion. Let me know what else can be done for Sylheti. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 17:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Great! For now, I noticed that the anuswara transliterates as "ng", I think that should be changed to "ṅ". I'll tell you if anything else should be done for it. I think Bodo, Rabha and Deori transliterations should be added. Msasag (talk) 17:26, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Started Bodo, feel free to add to Module:brx-translit/testcases. Also started MOD:Rohg-translit for Rohingya. Will get to Rabha and Deori soon. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 02:44, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Should we follow IAST-based or normally used Roman Bodo? In Roman Bodo, अ o, आ a, इ i, उ u, ए e, ऐ wi, ओ w, औ wu, ख k, ग g, ङ ng, ज j, थ t, द d, न n, फ f, ब b, म m, य y, र r, ल l, व w, स s, ह h. The voiceless stops (k, t, p/f) are aspirated. Some people add the "h" and others don't. Msasag (talk) 05:34, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I've edited it. Msasag (talk) 06:13, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * There should also be MOD:Cakm-translit for Chakma; or would you rather suffer or even die from anything, than have anything to do with me no matter what I say or do here? --Apisite (talk) 06:50, 30 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I'll add it. I merely have no interest in my real name being associated with what comes off as antisemitism, and I don't have any obligation to deal with political views that cross a line for me. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 16:11, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you make a separate transliteration module for Kamta (rkt)? It currently uses Assamese one but there are phonological differences. Also add schwa deletion. I made Rabha transliteration. Will make for Deori soon. Msasag (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
