I got the info from a native speaker Emeraldstar 14 (talk) 14:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * This is WP:original research, and unfortunately not appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia without a WP:reliable source. I will remove your edits again. Please do not re-add them without a source, otherwise your edits will count as unverifiable. –Austronesier (talk) 14:56, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I have online citations now please don’t take down these edits! Emeraldstar 14 (talk) 14:58, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * If it is just a copypaste from another article, then the information is suffienctly represented there, and should not be reiterated in Penrhyn language. –Austronesier (talk) 15:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I find that weird, but i suppose you’re right? The phonology is different though from other CIM langs, and i have a source (Omniglot) for it, along with the native speaker. May you let me add that back in? Emeraldstar 14 (talk) 15:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Please read this first in all detail: WP:reliable sources and WP:verifiability. Omniglot itself is not a reliable source. If you can see from which source the compilers of Omniglot got their data, you should quote that source (if it is reliable, i.e. ideally an academic peer-reviewed source). And first-hand information is never admissible, sorry about that. –Austronesier (talk) 15:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Ok. If i find a good source can i add the phonology? Emeraldstar 14 (talk) 15:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure, that sounds good. I have found a workaround for the meantime, with "hatnotes" pointing to the respective sections of Cook Islands Maori. –Austronesier (talk) 15:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Ok thanks! That will be good for our project (me, Çentoé, and others) of detailing more languages, and since this is a dialect that might be better. Thank you again! Emeraldstar 14 (talk) 15:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
