Karelian language on this page

[edit]

Including orthodox minority is good but I decided to take out the Karelian language from the beginning as I looked at the article for Finnish people, which excludes Swedish language. A mention about the minority of individuals who might identify as Finnish Karelians but speak Karelian could be included, but not in my opinion in the beginning of the article even before Finnish, which are the majority. I can't check the source cited. It would be helpful to have a page number. But it should be clearly defined that this is an article about the (majority) Finnish-speaking, Lutheran population. And Karelians who live in Finland are a different deal. I can't check if the source really means Karelians (Finns) while referring to the Karelian language, or Karelians who live in Finland instead. This is the reasoning for my edit. --Vilutar (talk) 09:32, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While we're at it, it's also not very smart for the Karelians article to include so many languages in the infobox (like Swedish, it's not like the purpose is to list every possible minority) but that's a matter for that article... --Vilutar (talk) 09:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
