Hi Mr. Palancar, i assume that you are Enrique Palancar - the linguist working with Otomi? welcome to wikipedia and thank you very much for your assistance at the article. I had to revert a few of your changes because they changed transcription of Otomi words sourced to Lastra 2006 to a different transcription system not used by that source. The article generally uses Lastras americanist style transcription which is explained in the orthography section. Also some of your edits introduced doubt about the status of otomi as a dialect continuum or a langauge family - this may be warranted but I have chosen to go with the status as dialect continuum in the article since this seems to be the prevalent view in the scholarship. I hope you will continue to contributing to the article and other articles remembering wikipedias policies not allowing "original research" - that is requiring that all changes must be citeable to already published works. Happy editing. And again welcome.·Maunus· ƛ · 07:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
