by Linguists?
You recently added the phrase "by Linguists" (which incidentally should not be capitalized) to the article Robert Blust. May I ask why you did this? It implies that there is a more complete Formosan language dictionary compiled by someone who is not a linguist. If such a dictionary exists, the article should say what that is, and for what language, and who made it. I am skeptical, though. I have seen Blust's Thao dictionary and as I recall, it is a very thick book. It's hard to imagine that anyone has done a more thorough job for another Formosan language. Please justify this, because I am inclined to revert your change. Himatsu Bushi (talk) 00:13, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Himatsu,
 * I'm glad to bring two Materials to your sight
 * 1. (Tesing Silan = 廖英助)'s work in 2014 泰雅爾族語－漢語字典(Tayal-Chinese Dictionary), 1702 pg in A5 . It's a work of more than 50 years of accumulation by Elder Tesing who is a Sqoyaw atayal native and long in Atayal oral traditions like lmamu/lmuhuw and daily corpus. Tesing also has linguistics background from the Kochi university, which adds on integrity to his phonology analysis. The material features abundant folklore corpus spread in its entries. Complete if not ergodic paradigm of root derivation and without-limit inclusion of ideophone entries are two feature of not my interests(of typologists also). It's only short for being not enough a learner's dictionary and not enough for a morphology typologist reference, for its structure cause.
 * I recommend you buy one directly from him. It's my considered opinion the best Atayal dictionary to date
 * For an introduction please go to https://archive.ncafroc.org.tw/result;jsessionid=7A56A76D2B6A23022597C8E9871558D7?id=3d6f8135a37445d582eb349f81e6ab02
 * 2. 阿美族語辭典 by Namoh Rata = 吳明義 in 2019. 1162 pg in B2 . Namoh's work covers to this date the most complete of dialect variation and gives sophisticated explanation in each entry, much of it is benefited from Namoh's linguistics background. The dictionary's structure satisfies morphology interests while also works good a learner's dictionary. It even a better work to Tesing's dictionary except size of long scale folklore.

 * Bob deserves his best honor but I guess he is more than happy for this two works if he'd ever tasted them. Asvaghosa (talk) 08:14, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
