Talk:Chʼol language

iwiki directing towards both language and ethnic group
can this be corrected somehow? Tar-ba-gan (talk) 00:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you mean, the interwiki links on this page to articles in other language wikis don't all relate specifically to the language (the topic of this article in en.wiki), but some relate instead to the ethnic group, Ch'ol people?


 * If so, any interwiki links appearing on this page that correspond more to an article on the people could just be moved to Ch'ol people, and vice versa (if interwiki links there are for the language, not the ppl. Is that what you meant? --cjllw ʘ  TALK 01:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Sam Delagrange: My ideas on what to add to this page The wikipedia page titled "Ch'ol Language" is a stub of the article named, "indigenous languages of the Americas". The stub is in the form of a lead section, without any information under it. There is extensive information about the language, so I will work towards expanding the stub into a full page. The stub gives a very brief description of the people that speak the language, the region where it is spoken, and the two main dialects. The stub does not have any description of the grammar. I found multiple articles about morphology and phonology of the language. I also found articles about the history of the language, as well as the history of the Mayan people that spoke it. I will focus on adding extensive information about the culture of the speakers, the region, and the origination of the language. I will have to start from scratch when I write about the grammar of the language. I will also go a lot more in depth on the current number of speakers.

 * Given biography is useful, but I’m surprised that doesn’t appear the name of Otto Schumann Gálvez there. He worked in the Ch’ol region for several years. I was googling him and I found that Schumann wrote mainly in Spanish. I can’t found any English article by him. Lugskneel (talk) 21:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
