Hello, I'm Bennv3771. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Pomak language, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Here is a resource, borrowed from another article : Иванов, Й. Българска диалектология. Пловдивско Университетско Издателство “П. Хилендарски”. Пловдив, 1994 г., с. 80 (Ivanov, J. Bulgarian Dialectology. Plovdiv University Press “P. Hilendarski”. Plovdiv, 1994, p. 80), that provides an example of another Pomak community, which doesn't speak the Rupic Pomak language. I hope this is enough to prove the made statement (I don't possess an exhaustive list of all dialects spoken by all Pomak communities). The other remark I added, namely that not native speakers of the (Rupic) Pomak language are Muslims, is a little far-fetched to justify with sources. This statement is true in a technical, linguistic sense [and the article already has references, discussing this claim], but obviously not true if one insists of including the religious/cultural believes of some community into the definition of their language. This, for example, used to be the main differentiation factor between Urdu and Hindi or between High German and Yiddish.
