Hey, what was the reason for moving this entry? If the only reason was that the term is usually capitalised, that's not enough: Aromanian isn't standardised as far as I know, and if the lower-case spelling is verifiable (see WT:ATTEST), the entry should stay, at least as a soft redirect. If you think the word doesn't exist in this spelling, you should send it to WT:RFVN. Thadh (talk) 19:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Aromanian isn't standardised as far as I know

1) Aromanian is standardised since 1997 in North Macedonia. Tiberius Cunia has created a dictionary of this standardised form and is uploaded online. http://dixionline.net/index.php

if the lower-case spelling is verifiable (see WT:ATTEST), the entry should stay, at least as a soft redirect

2) Yes, the other form exists as well. So, should it be kept as an alternative form?

 * Yes, any attestable form should be kept as an alternative form, you can use alternative form of for that. As for standardisation, if you are planning on working more on Aromanian (which would be awesome!), you should create WT:About Aromanian and explain what orthography is prioritised and why (I guess Cunia's would be in that case). You can compare other similar pages for inspiration (WT:APL, WT:AIZH, WT:ARO...). Hope this helps and keep up the good work! Thadh (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh thank you good sir ! I am honoured by your kind words. Please, revert any harmful damage made by me. I will keep the rest as alternatives. Again, Thank you !

2) explain what orthography is prioritised and why (I guess Cunia's would be in that case)

Yes, Cunia's alphabet and orthography is the main one. Used very often. It is not the only one though, because Aromanian has many variants and alternative alphabets. Again, thank you ! Bolt Escargot (talk) 20:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Just FYI
I just created Requested_entries_(Aromanian) - hope that was OK :-) There's a Greek word for 'pencil' borrowed by Bulgarian, Albanian and apparently Aromanian, but there wasn't a place for me to put it.

Cheers,
