re: {{tl|MEEproj}} Spamming

[edit]

If you hadn't noticed yet: there are concerns about the quality and appropriatness of the artciles created/edit by this project. I'm tagging the article so we know which articles have to be checked and cleaned-up. Even if this wasn't the case, adding such tags is a very common practice on the English Wikipedia. If you don't like the text on the tag, please change it. I would prefer it if you removed your post at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Method Engineering Encyclopedia. Cheers, —Ruud 16:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact I did notice the concerns... thats why I insisted against labeling the ITIL pages with said tag in first place. I don't want to see some good pages beeing deleted from wiki just because some MEE guy corrected a typo on it.
I am not sure if changing the tag is ok as it may be used for other reasons as well. (e.g. marking pure MEE publications?)
Just in case, i'm not part of MEE nor did I know of its existence until today.
Also, if you need help on verifying the content of the tagged pages, feel free to contact me :-) Regards, --Goonies 16:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Baslerdüütsch ? / High German Consonant Shift

[edit]

This seems to be a term that's only used by people who aren't from Basel. Should it be included on the Basel German wiki site? Oh yeah, about the second (High German) consonant shift. The shift from / p t k / to /pf ts kx / and then / f(:) s(:) x(:) / is (to a certain extent) present in all High German dialects, including of course the standard language. However, only High Alemannic (and possibly/historically some Bavarian dialects) went all the way. Standard German only has /pf, f, ts, s, x /, but not /kx/. High Alemannic dialects, on the other hand, don't pronounce "König" with an inital aspirated [k_h] - they use /kx/ instead (possibly /x/ in some dialects - phonetically probably [kX] and [X]) . Basel German always has [k_h] in words like König, even for speakers who (like me) say Chind [X-] instead of Kind [k_h]. I read yesterday on the wikipedia swiss german site that /kx/ is only used in loan/foreign words in Swiss German but that's definitely not true. Or do you think König and Kaiser are (still) loan words? Wathiik (talk) 09:39, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I answered there --Goonies (Tell me!) 11:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both Standard German and (traditional) Basel German did not shift /k/ > /kx/. Wathiik (talk) 07:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, confusion: In the High German wikipedia article it says:

"..High German languages (in German, Hochdeutsch) are any of the varieties of Standard German..."

This means however I vary standard German, it is within the group of High German languages. But you say Standard German didn't complete the sound shift but High German did?
Also very interesting both the Standard German and the High German article use the translation Hochdeutsch. Help? --Goonies (Tell me!) 15:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
ah, I can answer it myself. Using the linked German article, High German should refer to the dialects Hochdeutsche Dialekte rather than Hochdeutsch. --Goonies (Tell me!) 15:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be a bit of a problem - Hochdeutsch (High German)is used for both the name of the standard language as well as High German dialects (as opposed to Low German dialects). In German, there's also the term 'oberdeutsche Mundarten/Dialekte', but I can't think of a translation for oberdeutsch... Only some 'oberdeutsche' dialects shifted /p t k/ in all instances - it'sa question of degree really. And only High Alemannic dialects shifted /k/ to /kx/ in all instances. Standard German shifted /k/ to /x/ in some contexts, High Alemannic dialects (or maybe it's better to say Upper Alemannic, and to speak also of Upper German dialects rather than High German dialects... have to check) shifted /k/ to /x/ in some contexts and /kx/ in others. Some Bavarian dialects may also have had the shift. Wathiik (talk) 16:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
