Literary Chinese
Hi - it doesn't make sense to label a Vietnamese term as Literary Chinese, which is a different language. Theknightwho (talk) 18:40, 20 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello @Theknightwho,
 * 我 ngã with the meaning "I" is not found in the Vietnamese language. That usage is only found in Literary Chinese texts (which is not written in Vietnamese).
 * Normally ngã means to fall in Vietnamese. But for the Hán reading should be listed as Literary Chines since that sense is not found at all in any Vietnamese texts. Lachy70 (talk) 18:42, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I know, but you can't label it "Literary Chinese" under the Vietnamese header, because Literary Chinese is not a form of Vietnamese. Plus it needs to go through WT:RFV. Theknightwho (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It should not be listed as archaic as that is misleading, since 我 ngã was never used for "I" in Vietnamese. Lachy70 (talk) 18:44, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * That can all be sorted out at WT:RFV. Theknightwho (talk) 18:46, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
