<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|42px]]</div>Article [[Recalcitrance]] have been nominated for deletion. It is an article which is ''about the experiences of Indians during the 1857 mutiny against British rule, by an author whose ancestors witnessed it.'' I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for deletion, and have explained why at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Recalcitrance  (2nd nomination)]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. |

I have opposed ''deletion nomination of Recalcitrance'' and asked for '''Keep''' of the article. Plz participate and stop the article from deletion as it presents view of a native about events. |

Stress accent of MalayaliHey, thanks for a cookie! So... I have a question now. As I hear the words like Malayalam, Malayali, Malayala-lipi, you stress the third vowel a (the syllable ya), like Malayalam, Malayali etc. It's like macaroni or Madagascar, so to speak. Or at least they sound that way to my ears. But then, when I see this technical page called Retroflex lateral approximant, someone put an example word "Malayalam" there and according to the IPA there the first vowel is stressed (that is Malayalam, like marmalade). Do you think that's possible? Even if it sounds like Malayalam or Malayali, should I assume that Ma is actually stressed? Or could it be that the sample IPA in Retroflex lateral approximant is simply wrong, by a typo or something? TYIA!! —Gyopi (talk) 10:22, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Okay, then for now I'll remove the accent marks from Malayali, Malaya lipi, and also from Tulu lipi. I still kind of feel there is some kind of "melody" (clear emphasized syllables vs. fast ambiguous ones) in Malayalam, but I think such distinctions are much less important than in a language like English. Thank you for input. —Gyopi (talk) 13:01, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Yeah, I thought those files were kind of strange. One thing is, in Malayali, a in Ma and a in la are too similar. Another thing is, in Malayala lipi, there is a very long pause between Malayala and lipi, which I felt strange. I assumed the speaker was very nervous and self-conscious when recording (understandable if one has to upload their voice to the Internet), and that was why the words were somewhat awkward. Still the sound files can be helpful, especially if native speakers think the machine voice is not too bad. So anyway, what you tried to say was, you think Tulu uses stress accent? —Gyopi (talk) 09:44, 29 November 2009 (UTC) My EditsHow do you get to be someone who decides whether an edit is vandalism or constructive? I'm sure the criteria is listed someplace but I am slow to catch on and haven't read it. Non sarcastically yours, 24.167.105.97 (talk) 00:35, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
