Talk:Base language

Hi User:Rspeer - you removed some seemingly unconnected info; I've added it back again and given the context. Please let me know if you don't agree. AvB &divide; talk  13:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone actually use either of these terms? I've never come across "base language" or "root language" in any of the historical linguistic works I've read--can someone cite the claim that they're well-known terms, and not original research? Either way, "proto-language" is way more common of a name for this, even if the term "base language" exists and I've just never seen it before, so the article should be merged with Proto-language (historical linguistics) )(they're both about the same thing anyway) --Miskwito 19:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind. So much misleading or wrong in the article that there really wasn't anything worth saving. Per WP:BOLD, I redirected to Proto-language (historical linguistics) --Miskwito 20:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
