Latvian language

Hi, if you are going to work on Latvian language please consider what I said on talk page - I think the article badly needs to be clerified, not to mention that most of the article is original research -- Xil/talk 00:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yah, the article must be seriously improved, but I will mainly work to grammatical section of Latvian language. Speaking about original research, the Wikipedia is full of Original research, because looking in other pages, References section is missing in many analogical pages eg. Slovakian_language, Czech_language etc. Roberts7 12:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I just wanted to make sure you know my plans, so that our work on the article dosen't conflict. As of original research - if there are articles that lack something, it doesn't mean that it is okay and that one should learn from them as from good example

P.S. Maybe you could be interested in joinig Wikiproject Latvia (it's curently in test stage though) ---- Xil/talk 06:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Message from crculver

"PIE is not reconstructed just on the basis of Greek and Sanskrit. Hittite, the earliest-attested IE language, has lent support to reconstruction for almost a century. Ditto for Tocharian, Oscan, and Umbrian."

Can you give some examples from Hittite grammar applied to PIE grammar?

Crculver answered:

"Get a standard handbook like W.P. Lehmann _Theoretical Bases of Indo-European Linguistics_ (Routledge) or Andrew Sihler _New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin_ (Oxford University Press, 1996). I'd recommend against making pronouncements on IE linguistics if you don't have access to a decent university library

I never said that «PIE is reconstructed just on the basis of Greek and Sanskrit», this is misinterpretation of what I actually said, so further discussion is senseless.

Latvian declension

Hey Roberts, I noticed you have been one of the main contributors to the article Latvian declension. In case you have any book sources - pretty much anything with an ISBN the article would really benefit from adding them. If you know of any OL sources - even better.

Old Latvian language

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Old Latvian language, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Vedic Sanskrit grammar?

Hi, I noticed your comment in Talk:Graeco-Aryan where you say that Vedic Sanskrit grammar is "simply ignored" in PIE reconstruction. I find this interesting, if you don't mind, can you show me where you read this? GSMR (talk) 15:39, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This statement is from my own researches of Proto-Baltic, Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-Indo-European languages. Similar thoughts you can read here. Roberts7 19:24, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
