Thanks, Davius, that was a great addition. μηδείς ( talk) 20:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC) reply

Please, in order not to split the conversation, respond here or, if you prefer, on the article talk page, not my talk page. As you know, Dixon's views are not the mainstream, so you may find it problematic if you apply to much weight to his views in this article, while maps of smaller families which have their own articles should go in those articles if you create them. I suggest that you consider modifying the current map to distinguish between those groups Dixon holds to be genetic, and those he considers merely areal, which would be truly informative. I understand isolation can make obtaining other sources difficult, but you still might try approaching Claire Bowern for a PDF of her recent volume, so you will not be limited to one narrow, controversial viewpoint.

May be this new map will be more clear because it distinguish the fliogenetic groups from areal groups. Davius ( talk) 14:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Great! μηδείς ( talk) 16:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC) reply

responded on the talk page. this does look like it could be a mix up; on the other hand, with a single name being so often used for multiple related groups, it would be OR just to assume it is. — kwami ( talk) 20:38, 10 April 2012 (UTC) reply

East Timor languages

Hi Davius,

I'm archiving my talk page for the year, so I'll repeat myself here. Created the article Oirata–Makasai languages, but can't add the iw to WP-es como es "dañina". A couple concerns, though: It's not true that Ross (2005) thought this was a geographic group. He reconstructed proto–East Timor pronouns. Also, I don't see where Mandala et al. reconstruct the numerals. — kwami ( talk) 03:03, 1 January 2014 (UTC) reply

I meant the numerals you gave for proto–East Timor. Also, do you know where Kula belongs, or if Kaera is covered by an ISO code, per your comments on my talk page? — kwami ( talk) 00:18, 2 January 2014 (UTC) reply

Sepik

Hi,

Could you label you Sepik-language map? (Not necessarily on the map itself; in its description page would be fine.) It doesn't correspond very well to what I've seen, and without labeling I can't tell how much of the family, or which version of the family, it corresponds to. Removing from the article for now. — kwami ( talk) 23:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

I deleted your large section in the article because it lacked sources. Cynwolfe ( talk) 16:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply
