@Kambai Akau: Is Hayab (2016) the source for most of the sections? Greenwhitedino (talk) 19:05, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, most of the sections are actually part of my unpublished works. Hayab (2016)'s portion is just the particular spot where his name was referenced. Kambai Akau (talk) 01:59, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tyap language → Tyap – I originally moved this article to 'Tyap' on the 19th of May, but an hour later, an editor reverted that bold and undiscussed move, so I've moved it here instead. Anyway, the reason I'm requesting for this article to be moved to the new title is per WP:DISAMBIG (including WP:ONEOTHER), WP:NCLANG and WP:NCET; because this article is the primary topic with the name 'Tyap' in its title, because there's only one other topic called 'Tyap', the topic about its dialect, which doesn't have enough information to be a separate article yet, because its speakers are called 'Atyap', and because therefore, I personally think there's no point in creating a disambiguation page called 'Tyap' at this stage.

Before I give an opinion. I'd love to get some clarification on some guidelines, and existing patterns on Wikipedia. First, are there language articles on Wikipedia that does not have suffix "language". I did a quick search and virtually all I saw had "language" to them. Secondly, Most languages mean a different thing when you remove the word language, are there examples that does not follow this pattern? For example, I know Yoruba people, that do not speak Yoruba language. Equating Yoruba to Yoruba language will definitely seem off, and that is the same for many other languages. I'd want to know if there are some other languages in the world (on Wikipedia) that does not follow this pattern. HandsomeBoy (talk) 19:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1. Yes, there are. Some examples of languages include Afrikaans, Amharic, Arabic, Bislama, Bokmål, Dzongkha, Esperanto, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Interlingua, Kannada, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Latin, Lingala, Luganda, Malayalam, Northern Sámi, Nynorsk, Old Church Slavonic, Pali, Pashto, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Lhasa Tibetan, Twi, Urdu and Volapük, as mentioned in the move request for the article about the Arabic language. Others include most constructed and historical languages.

2. No, I don't at this stage. PK2 (talk) 07:51, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. This fits the pattern of not including the "language" suffix on articles when there is no equivalent "people" article. Malerisch (talk) 09:19, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
