Sherpa language template

If you are a native speaker of Sherpa then you can help translate this template into your own language:

Reference to Sikkim which as part of India, while reference to other locations of Sherpa language as sovereign states...

Please understand that there is political sensitivity to mention of Sikkim as stand alone (as opposed to a mention as Sikkim state of India), while referring to Sherpa presence in Tibet as merely China.

The readers need to understand that Sherpa language speakers are inhabitants of 3 countries, i.e. Nepal, India, and China. In India they inhabit the Sikkim state, with some minor presence in Darjeeling district of West Bengal and Arunachal Pradesh state.

In China, a small Sherpa community inhabits the Tibet Autonomous Region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prit.banerjee (talk • contribs) 05:19, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Why does it list the days of the week in the language?

How is that relevant information? Should it be deleted? DemonDays64 | Tell me if I'm doing something wrong :P 22:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Multiple issues

When I found this article, the entire layout was a mess, so I reorganized it and divided it into sections that make sense. I also tried to correct grammar and clarify awkwardly-worded sentences, but several issues remain:

• Why is there a picture of Tenzing Norgay? I'm not sure what he has to do with the language other than the fact that he probably spoke it.
• The Phonology section needs to be expanded. A vowel chart should be added.
• The Grammar section is far too technical for anyone unfamiliar with linguistics to understand. Also, I'm not sure what the multiple abbreviations at the end are supposed to stand for or if they should even be included in this article. If it turns out that those abbreviations are appropriate for this article, then they need to be explained much more clearly.
• The Vocabulary section is currently just a list of the days of the week. As someone pointed out above, it seems strange that those would be the most important examples to include, unless they're an illustration of a larger point about words that Sherpa borrows from Tibetan. If that's the case, then it needs to be made more clear. Also, I have no idea what "Pur-gae" means.

I tried fixing what I could, but it's been a long time since I was in a linguistics class, and I have no knowledge about this language or its language family. MilkboneJar (talk) 04:34, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
