Talk:Northwest Sumatra–Barrier Islands languages

Shall we combine pages "Northwest Sumatran languages" and "Batak languages"together?
These two terms seems to referring to the same content. 霎起林野间 (talk) 04:24, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No, the Batak languages are only a subset of the languages referred to in this article. –Austronesier (talk) 08:23, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Incomplete name - page move
The subgroup described in this article is properly called "Barrier Islands–Batak" or "Northwest Sumatra–Barrier Islands". The latter was adopted in the Ethnologue and the Glottolog. "Northwest Sumatran" may be a handy short form but is AFAIK unsourced or at least not employed in the relevant sources.

I will move the page accordingly. –Austronesier (talk) 08:53, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
