Talk:Miami language

Merge
This seems exactly the same as Illinois language. Shouldn't the two be merged? --Gareth Hughes 19:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Definitely; Illinois and Miami-Peoria are the same language. –Benjamin  ( talk )  03:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Illinois, Miami, Peoria, and Wea are all dialects of a single language best called 'Miami-Illinois'. If someone wants to merge these it would make sense.--Anonymous, 14 February 2006.

Illinois + Miami
Serious philologists have always suggested that both Miami and Illinouis are very similar dialects of the same language!

Can anyone provide sources to validate the similarity, or provide the names of the serious philologists who have always suggested that one is a dialect?

Yes, Miami, Wea, Peoria, and Illinois are all dialects of a single language called Miami-Illinois. See here: ''Costa, David J. (2003). The Miami-Illinois Language. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press.''
