Talk:Mbugwe language

Lexical similarity with Rangi
My name is Vera Wilhelmsen and I am doing a PhD on the Mbugwe language. I changed the words about sharing only half of the vocabulary with Rangi, because even in the SIL survey that figure is taken form, there is a comment that the right percentile is more likely in the 70s, which Masele and Nurse found in their survey. I don't know how to add a reference, it is Masele, Balla F. Y. P. & Derek Nurse (2003). Stratigraphy and prehistory: Bantu zone F. In Andersen, H. (Ed), Language contacts in prehistory: studies in stratigraphy. Papers from the workshop on linguistic stratigraphy and prehistory at the fifteenth international conference on historical linguistics, Melbourne, 17 August 2001, Amsterdam & Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Co.., pp. 115-134. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.215.108.43 (talk) 13:48, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Vera,
 * Good! We need more descriptions of TZ langs. As for adding refs, just under your edit window (below the 'save page' button), you'll see a line of clickable symbols. One of them will be, and you can put the ref in the middle of that. If it doesn't show up properly at the bottom, check another article, or just leave it and in a couple days a bot will fix it up for you. — kwami (talk) 16:49, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
