Talk:Modern Eyeri

Merging Concerns
Modern Eyeri is the revived version of Island Carib. The reasons why the information presented in this Wikipedia article is because: Island Carib refers to both the Karina language and Arawakan language of the Caribbean spoken by the natives of the Caribbean. Modern Eyeri is only the Arawakan language.

While the language would still be considered the same as Island Carib in the world of linguistics, one learning more about the languages would quickly understand that there are quite a few difference including what had previously been stated all of which contributes to the decision of creating a separate article for Modern Eyeri.

 * The Karian language you mention is Carib language, right? Then the Arawakan one is Island Carib language and any possible confusion between the two doesn't need a third article to resolve it. A valid reason to have a separate article will be if the revived language is a sufficiently distinct topic on its own. How much information could be given about it that wouldn't belong in the general article? Given that this revival appears to be so recent – barely two years ago as far as I can tell – there isn't likely to be much. Also, the part of this article that concerns the modern variety appears to be entirely unsourced (not surprising given the recency). And the part that doesn't concern the revived language is better placed in the main article. – Uanfala (talk) 01:41, 31 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I did find this (a blog or forum, and thus not a reliable source), which makes it seem to me that this Modern Eyeri is an invented language. - Donald Albury 02:14, 31 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Island Carib is an Arawakan and Carib language. The language itself is two languages, the women's language and men's language. The men's language is of Karina origins. Meanwhile, the women's language is of Arawakan origins. Even within the Island Carib Arawakan language, there is evidence of both a Ta-Arawakan language and Nu-Arawakan language; As an example: I respond. Naonaboyem [Nu-Arawakan, N- is a Nu Arawakan pronominal], Daonabyę [Ta-Arawakan, D- is a Ta-Arawakan pronominal] recorded by Raymon Breton, Kalinago 1665 Dictionary. I do understand where you guys are coming from though, and I'll see if I could make this a draft and simply merge the other information. Mabrikananixi


 * The revived language is not an invented language. It is solely the women's language, the main differences are with some terminology. Mabrikananixi —Preceding undated comment added 21:00, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
