User talk:Stevemarlett

Welcome
Welcome to wikipedia Mr. Marlett it's a pleasure to have you here. We are always in need of linguistics experts, particularly ones working with less studied languages. You are more than welcome to extend your contributions beyond the field of Seri and into other areas of native american languages - the field is generally in a sorry state. We are trying to coordinate the effort with experts from different fields. For any questions or suggestions that you might have write me a message on my User talk:Maunus.

Me'phaa vs. Tlapanec
I have noticed your preference for using Me'phaa instead of Tlapanec. I personally appreciate the use of endonyms but the normal practice here on the encyclopedia is to use the name that is most established in english whether it is and endo- or exonym. I do think that me'phaa will become the prevalent term within a few decaeds but I am not convinced that it is yet. For example I haven't seen it used in publications about the language neither english language or spanish language, northe most recent ones. I think that it is preferrable for these reasons would be better to write Tlapanec first and put me'phaa in parentheses. Maunus 05:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I understand. I don't expect that it will be long before the name is declared official. I was looking for the INALI list that should have gone to the Mexican congress, but I haven't found it. Stevemarlett 18:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for expert help
Dear Dr. Marlett. I am currently working on expanding the article on the Otomi language and would be delighted to have an expert on Oto-Manguean languages look it over to see if I got anything right (or wrong). If you have a little internet time to waste you might find it to be interesting reading. (the article on Oto-manguean languages it self could also need some help).·Maunus· ƛ · 02:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Alexander Sheldon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Seri (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
