sikkimese language

sikkimese language must be used to refer Bhutia, Lepcha, Nepali,Limbu(Sherpa), Newari, Gurung,Magar,Tamang,Sunwar languages as a whole and when referring Bhutia language it has to be referred as Bhutia language.

True, this article is misleading. Here, bhutia language is portrayed to represent as a sikkimese language. There are many languages in sikkim like lepcha, nepali, mangar,etc which are all sikkimese language. Kkk1996 (talk) 15:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

True.. this needs to be corrected. This is utterly misleading. Vegetamajin87 (talk) 08:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is it misleading? Prior to 1975, so called 'bhutia language' was referred to as Sikkimese. Denjongke itself means language of sikkim. The other languages in sikkim have their own names but none refer to themselves as language of sikkim. 2409:40E1:10F0:DBBA:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 14:41, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notation of phonology charts

The phonology charts on this page are rather misleading in that the IPA transcriptions are not enclosed in slashes while (from what I can gather) the Wylie tranliterations are. I think it would make more sense to enclose the IPA transcriptions in slashes (as per the norm) and either leave the transliterations blank (without slashes) or use angle bracket. Is there any reason for this or should I go ahead and change it?

I have done some edits. The stuff that got taken off, I tried my best to put all of that in simpler words and this is the end result. The changes happened in the Bilabial Plosives, Dento-Alveolar Plosives & Affricates, and the Postalveolar Plosives sections. Marlem J. (talk) 16:25, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can try rearranging the information into charts to make it neater if I can get to it on time because there's still more sections I need to add. I need to search for more examples as well as try to make some things shorter if I can. I will double check on the phonology chart to make sure that it's as up to date as it can possibly be. Marlem J. (talk) 16:48, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will first focus on creating a vocabulary section with information about interesting/noteworthy vocab in the language. There is a lot of information in the grammar overall, however a lot of it is pretty technical (especially the grammatical sections) so that limits what I can process and add. After the vocab section, as suggested in our peer reviews, I would like to add information about the language's history and add language examples, as well as dialectal differences if possible. To do this, I will read the first chapter, which should have information on these topics. Jlia22 (talk) 03:34, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sikkimese language → Bhutia language – I propose renaming the article "Sikkimese language" to "Bhutia language." The current title "Sikkimese language" can be misleading, as it may imply that it refers to all languages spoken in Sikkim. The term "Bhutia language" is more precise and accurately reflects the language spoken by the Bhutia community in Sikkim.

- Reasons for the proposed change:**

1. **Clarity:** The term "Bhutia language" specifically identifies the language spoken by the Bhutia people, avoiding confusion with other languages spoken in Sikkim. 2. **Common Usage:** The term "Bhutia language" is commonly used in linguistic and cultural references, whereas "Sikkimese language" can be ambiguous.

I would appreciate the community's feedback on this proposed change.

Thank you for your input. Kkk1996 (talk) 17:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC) –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 19:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per ngrams they are equally common [1]. The Bhutia are a subset of Sikkimese people, so this title is misleading Kowal2701 (talk) 11:36, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TITLE SIKKIMESE LANGUAGE IS MISLEADING

The title of the page SIKKIMESE LANGUAGE is misleading and should be changed to BHUTIA LANGUAGE Vegetamajin87 (talk) 09:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah..it is totally misleading. It should be changed to bhutia language as soon as possible. Kkk1996 (talk) 17:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is it misleading? Denjongke itself means sikkimese language. The so called bhutia language is called sikkimese within the bhutia community itself. TseTen10 (talk) 15:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discorroboration between phonology?

In the top section it says that “voiceless nasals actually don’t occur at all” whereas in the nasals section it describes voiceless nasals occuring word-initially? Garethphua (言) 05:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

REQUEST TO CHANGE TITLE BACK TO SIKKIMESE LANGUAGE OR DENJONGKE

As a member of the sikkimese Denjongpa or bhutia community I am extremely dissatisfied to see the title be renamed from Sikkimese to bhutia language. Denjongke or Sikkimese is a language indigenous to sikkim, Denjongke itself means language of sikkim. The language has been called sikkimese for a long time, more importantly, it is still called sikkimese within the community. When government websites still refer to our language as Sikkimese(bhutia), I don't see how any person would find the title to be misleading. TseTen10 (talk) 15:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
