Talk:Malto language

Move proposal: to Malto language and merge with Kumarbhag Paharia language

These two are dialects of the Malto language, not separate languages in Dravidology sense, see Krishnamurti 2003, Andronov 2003. It has been obviously divided by ethnic groupings, not by linguistic ones.-- Dravidian  Hero  16:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Move 2

Sauria Paharia language → Malto language – Closed as "moved", but article should have been actually moved rather than copied to preserve the article history. — kwami (talk) 06:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Essentially merged 2 articles, so merging rather than moving seemed more appropriate. — Lfdder (talk) 08:57, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Should be both, as the article were partial duplicates. This is the merged article. — kwami (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Seems to have been moved correctly now. Jafeluv (talk) 08:06, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Sample text problem

The Malto text does not seem to correspond to the English sample. Rather, it seems to be a Biblical text: "Yohannah", "baptisma", "Yihudiya". 2A02:8071:5BD0:D4C0:9FD:8AA4:B2DB:16EA (talk) 18:35, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

@AleksiB 1945: You have added the sample text taken from Omniglot, but somehow managed to the swap the original text (the opening of the Gospel of Mark 1:1-4) with the opening of the UDHR in the English translation. Of course we could just fix it, but personally I think sample texts always should have signifcant cultural relevance for the majority of speakers in order to be representative. Adding Gospel texts to articles for languages that are not spoken by Christian-majority groups always reeks of missionary activity. Maybe you are aware of a more representative text? –Austronesier (talk) 21:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Didnt notice it was a bible verse. I wanted to add UDHR as the sample text to match other related language pages like Kurukh (all from omniglot) but cant find it or any other sample texts AleksiB 1945 (talk) 08:40, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
