Talk:Chipewyan language

"Velar" fricatives
I just followed the link to the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre. It leads to sound files. I'm a native speaker of southeastern German, which has a voiceless velar fricative; speakers of Alemannic dialects (Switzerland, Vorarlberg) use a uvular one instead, which is very distinctive. Thus, I trust my judgment that the "Dene" sound files marked hh and gh record uvular rather than velar fricatives.

(And then I'll have to contact the webmaster of that site. There is no gh in German, and very few German dialects have a voiced velar fricative, let alone a uvular one.) David Marjanović 22:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Move?
Why was this page moved from "Chipewyan language" (which is the commonly used name) to "Dene Suline language" (which is just the proper name in the language itself, bereft of all diacritics). Is there a valid reason? If there isn't. I'd suggest moving it back to the name everyone is using. — N-true (talk) 21:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Moved it back. At the least, if we're going to move it, we should also move Chipewyan people. — kwami (talk) 21:11, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

But, the name "Chippewyan" is a pejorative name. --Kmoksy (talk) 14:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Spelling
It seems that it’s "Dënësųłınë́", not *"Dënesųłiné". See sign. Tuvalkin (talk) 11:41, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

I write it as denesųłįnslé Hĭ uông lìng (talk) 09:20, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

It almost definitely has something to do with the fact it's not standardised or possibly a different dialect Hĭ uông lìng (talk) 09:21, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Dene-yenisean
Given that it's highly disputed, why is this here? Mr anonymous username (talk) 17:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
