Welcome to WikiProject Linguistics. We are a group of editors collaborating to improve linguistics articles on Wikipedia. We cover a broad range of subjects within the general field of linguistics, including theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, etymology, and phonetics. You will find a number of resources on this page to help you with improving Wikipedia's coverage of linguistics; take your time and have a look around. Please feel free to ask a question on the discussion page, and we will do our best to help you.


Getting started

There are a number of things you can do right now to help:

Requests for expansion

  • Case government - it is stub, without resources and has mistakes Cnevis (talk) 21:56, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • List of glossing abbreviations - In classroom practice, this page has become a main reference to resolve glossing abbreviations in interlinear glossed text. In Wikipedia, this *should* be the basis for glossing with the templates {{interlinear}} and {{Gcl}} and provide input to Module:Interlinear/data. Originally, this was compiled and extended in an opportunistic fashion. Not all glosses listed there have adequate literature references, yet. For some, no "conventional gloss" (for use within Wikipedia) has been suggested so far, for other glosses, there is need to confirm/review the "conventional gloss". More variants are needed and a discussion of systematic principles of forming abbreviations (e.g., -E or -ESS for essives). Chiarcos (talk) 13:18, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Working on it. Additional input would be nice, but I've got another score refs in the wing. — kwami (talk) 12:40, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for attention

  • Tamil loanwords in Biblical Hebrew and the related Tamil loanwords in other languages appear to have some pov issues around tamil nationalism, and the former is of very poor quality (the grammar is spotty, loanwords are cited only transliteration, sometimes unvocalised, and sometimes seemingly inconsistent with the grammar suggested by the translation). Several of the examples also seem to be stretched at best and, one of the cited works also calls several of the examples provided by one of their other sources "highly controversial", something the article does not bring up. I also raised this on the etymology subproject but that appears fairly dead Tristanjlroberts (talk) 14:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Krishnamurti cites two of the etyma as successful loans without refering to the bible. This would mean Proto-Dravidian, give or take if the dates are uncertain. Dravidian and Tamil are probably cognate ethnonyms, still used as synonyms but distinguished later in linguistic discourse. So the fact that the article leads with "Tamil loanwords" is a sign of a rather local perspective where they may be synonyms. Perhaps it should be moved. Rhyminreason (talk) 22:34, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
