Jeju Hanja
There is currently no definitive evidence that Jeju has written in Chinese characters (Hanja). So please apply for the deletion of the created Chinese character entries first, thank you.

Chinese dialect pronunciation.
Hello. What is your source for these? —Suzukaze-c (talk) 02:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * All the mistakes point to the fact that the pronunciations were inferred from the pronunciations on the individual character entries. Please stop doing this, and please respond. If you don't, further action will be taken. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 18:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Dhivehi
Your IPA seems inconsistent (certainly doesn't correspond with the Wikipedia article on Dhivehi) and there's no reason for me to believe you know Dhivehi. I've reverted all your Dhivehi edits. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 23:20, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Old Korean grammatical forms
Hi Quadmix77,

Thanks for the work you've done WRT Korean, they look great. Just a question about Old Korean—I think 叱, 隱, etc., aren't reconstructions because they're directly attested in the OK corpus. This is in contrast to actual reconstructed OK terms based on internal or cross-dialectal reconstruction, like e.g. OK *nupey for "silkworm". Would you disagree with me moving the attested OK terms to mainspace?--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 08:48, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Gyeongsang forms and MK
Hi Quadmix77,

Just a note that Gyeongsang forms with non-lenited consonants are not descended from Middle Korean forms. In the case of something like 무ᅀᅮ, the Old Korean form was *무수 *mwuswu, which survived in Gyeongsang while Seoul underwent a typical lenition to deletion process: *mwuswu > mwuzwu > mwuu > modern 무 mwu. Same thing for 사ᄫᅵ, etc. It is not correct to put such Gyeongsang forms as descendants of Middle Korean forms where lenition is already underway.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 01:50, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * In addition to this, when dealing with dialectal forms, just a friendly note to not add pronunciation modules for anything other than Standard (Seoul) Korean. They will produce inaccurate results (e.g. lack of tone, lack of vowel merger for Gyeongsang, showing [l] instead of [r] for Yukjin).--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 03:24, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Korean dialect data and Middle Korean data
What sources are you using for these? I'm intrigued. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 03:38, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi. You added a quote at ᄒᆞ다 linked to a template that doesn't exist. Can you say what the book was, please? --Daleusher (talk) 13:20, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Proto-Korean
If possible, could you refrain from making Proto-Korean reconstructions based on my writings please? I am intentionally refraining from making things like because I feel they are too speculative.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 07:59, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * can probably stay (Vovin makes a similar point to Ito WRT L-pitch monosyllables) but generally speaking, please avoid making reconstructed entries on based on etymology redlinks I make; most of the time I am keeping them red for a reason.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 10:49, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Jeju vowels
<ㅟ and <ㅚ> are never or  in Jeju; they are always  or, as in Seoul Korean. Furthermore, Jeju has no vowel length. Could you be more careful about this please? Cheers, Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 09:26, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Hiya - where did you get the Cyrillic гаслан ац нөгчсөн from for the above? I think it's supposed to be (i.e. in the ablative case: "(having) passed beyond suffering"). I think the problem is caused by the fact that Wiktionary puts a full space between stems and suffixes, instead of a narrow no-break space as it should. Also, I can't seem to find this term anywhere - where did you find it? The usual term is. Theknightwho (talk) 17:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Request for adding descendants
Hi, I have seen that you are recently adding the numerous descendants of various Sanskrit terms (etymons), which is undeniably hard for many and really appreciated. So, can you please add the descendants of this Sanskrit word: कुटी? 103.112.54.39 10:58, 13 May 2023 (UTC)


 * @Quadmix77 Thank you very much for adding them. 103.112.54.39 14:47, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Sanskrit reconstructions
At Wiktionary, we treat Turner's "Sanskrit" reconstructions such as *ṭokka as Ashokan Prakrit. Turner reconstructs a lot of such words which are phonetically improbable to be native Old Indo-Aryan (Classical Sanskrit did have words of this structure due to Middle Indo-Aryan influence). A more proper label for these terms would be "Proto-Middle-Indo-Aryan", but since that did not gain unanimous acceptance, we settled at Ashokan Prakrit. The rest of Turner's reconstructions are just unattested compounds of two or more attested Sanskrit terms. Such reconstructions are better left to the etymology sections of the relevant New Indo-Aryan entry. -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴) 05:38, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

So right now I am inclined towards the deletion of the entry. If you have anything to add in the defense of the entry, you may do so here. -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴) 06:50, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This entry is problematic for the following reasons:
 * 1) The source given for it (Turner) is not sure if the descendants (there are only two of them) are inherited or borrowing from Iranian.
 * 2) One may argue it is hardly possible for an isolated insular language like Dhivehi to borrow from Iranian but then even if it is inherited, the term can easily be explained as having a Middle Indo-Aryan pleonastic -ra-. Mutations of such kind can be shown under the derived terms of the original page  without having to go all the way back to the level of Sanskrit to reconstruct a term, especially when there are only two descendants which, as the source acknowledges, may be borrowings.

මහනුවර
Hi,

could you please explain this edit? See this paper about the rules on how to pronounce the inherent vowel. On page 8 it says the following: "A few of the remaining errors are due to homographs; “වන” - /vanə/, /vənə/; “කල” -/kalə/, /kələ/; “කර” - /karə/, /kərə/." which to me clearly means that /a/ and /ə/ are separate phonemes: they (e.g. /vanə/ and /vənə/) wouldn't be "homographs" if they were just alternative pronunciations for the same word with the same meaning. If /a/ and /ə/ are separate phonemes, they both may appear in a phonemic transcription between slashes. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 20:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Please be more careful with Koreanic entries
PLEASE be more careful with creating Koreanic entries. While it's nice to see more entries, I've noticed that a lot of them have glaring errors or other issues that make the entries have incorrect information. For example at Middle Korean you created the entry using Jeju in the headword template (wrong language!) and then omitting tones not only from the headword template, but also the phonemic IPA in the pronunciation section. You've been corrected on this before, please remember to add tones per WT:About Korean/Historical forms.

Also, I've become very skeptical of your recent Jeju entries. For example, at, you added a Verb sense, but looking at credible Jeju resources (the digital museum one is NOT credible on its own as has been stated before), I can only find an Adjective sense, and that fits its etymology and usage. More examples of this are at where until very recently, it had the entirely wrong definition, and at  that will need updating to reflect how its used by both genders. Please make sure to take the time verify these things, and also look for quotes and usages. I have plenty of resources listed on my User page that you can look through. Nonetheless, if issues like these continue, I'll have to ask for a formal block, and I really do not want to have to do this. AG202 (talk) 07:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Alright! I'll be more cautious on creating more entries and will always check to make sure if information on an entry is right. Quadmix77 (talk) 16:54, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Malayalam verb lemmas
@Quadmix77 I mentioned this on the குழை entry as well, but now you did the same thing at ஈடேறு and உய்: when listing Malayalam verb cognates, unlike in Tamil, the lemma form is the infinitive, ending in -ക​. Please remember this when creating future entries: it must be adjusted. Cyrohdn3 (talk) 11:51, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Template:number box
If you're going to add this to an entry, the exact spelling for that entry has to be in the  submodule for the language. Right now, തൃതീയം and ചതുർത്ഥം are both in CAT:E because they aren't in Module:number list/data/ml. Please either add them to the data submodule or remove the template from the entries. Thanks!

Hi
Thank you for contributing to Meitei language terms in English wiktionary. However, I believe that ꯈꯡꯕ꯭ꯔꯥꯡꯆꯥꯛ is a wrong spelling. I hope you are able to read and write Meitei script. Even if not, I can help you. The correct spelling is ꯈꯝꯕ꯭ꯔꯥꯡꯆꯥꯛ. Haoreima (talk) 13:14, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
