Batak classification

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Should we classify all Batak languages speaker ethnic groups as Bataks too whereas all of them (except Toba Batak) reject as part as Batak nation. -- Si Gam (talk) 04:19, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

The arrangement in the template was based on the fact that they belong to the same language group, and also I don't think that the Tobas are the only one that consider themselves as Batak too. Though there are significant opposition to the collective term by other sub-ethnics, still not all of them share the same thought. I also feel that the reason to the rejection of the term Batak is more social-political rather than intellectual. In keeping to the spirit of Wikipedia, it's best that the grouping under the term Batak is done neutrally and intellectually. I think until today there is no conclusion to this on-going argument. Perhaps other Batak Wikipidians can share their input on this matter. Jeblat (talk) 14:08, 21 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
