  • 00:0900:09, 12 February 2023 diff hist −85 Proto-Indo-European language a three-way satem vs. centum vs. *extinct* classification (conflating vitality with an isogloss) is nobody's approach; satem/centum as a primary isogloss to be mentioned where no others are is contested at best; the satem-ness of Armenian and Albanian is contested and increasingly outright abandoned for the latter and Anatolian wouldn't even fit into this.

  • 16:3516:35, 30 December 2022 diff hist +29 Origin of the Albanians Paleo-Balkan linguistic theories: moved maps out of the "Thracian/Moesian" area because these maps do not strictly adhere to that theory -- both maps are made with reference to Romanian and Hungarian discourses that are more focused on the origin of Romanians than Albanians, and both actually include Dardanian and other Illyrian zones as Proto-Albanian
  • 16:3016:30, 30 December 2022 diff hist +171 Albanian–Eastern Romance linguistic parallels Undid revision 1113239050 by Aristeus01 (talk) -- fixed so that it mentions Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian, and Istro-Romanian (the latter of which arguably being the most Albanian-like). This page sometimes uses "Romanian" to mean "Common Romanian and descendants" reflecting the old habit in Romania and Albania of viewing Aromanian especially as a Romanian dialect -- thanks for bringing that to attention!

  • 16:5616:56, 26 November 2022 diff hist −82 Romance languages on the other hand, unlike Celtic influence on Western Romance (which has been discussed by some great scholars -- cf Martinet in the last edit) Slavic influence for Romanian kt > pt really needs a decent citation if it wants to be restored here. Afaik such a thing never happened in Slavic languages themselves, and the time frame is particularly suspicious. Really rather bizarre that the page was using Wikivoice to advocate Slavic explanation for Rom kt > pt while effectively dismissing Martinet Tag: Visual edit: Switched
  • 16:5116:51, 26 November 2022 diff hist +397 Romance languages Lenition: cited Martinet 1952 ad Cravens 2002; it's by no means a closed matter -- arguments for contact exist, a reasonable model for internal motivation exist, these don't preclude each other but neither does having a model for contact or for internal motivation mean that either is conclusively "proven". People write with way too strong language here. Tag: Visual edit
