Central Malay[edit]

Please move this article to Central Malay language. This language covers some dialects that previously classified as sole language in previous Ethnologue edition, those are Bengkulu, Besemah (Pasemah), Enim, Lematang, Lintang, Ogan, Semendo and Serawai. -- Si Gam (talk) 01:46, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, please move to Central Malay language. In Indonesia, we call "Bengkulu language" only for a dialect of Central Malay language in Bengkulu City, Indonesia. There are both articles written in Indonesia and Minangkabau, one for Bengkulu language and another for Central Malay language. I hope it can make our wikidata better and not overlapping.

@Ardzun and Si Gam: I have created a stub on Central Malay and tried to rearrange the Wikidata. There was indeed a significant amount of overlapping data due to the merges done to individual articles on each isolect (Pasemah/Besemah, Ogan, Bengkulu, Serawai, etc.) To think that this hodgepodge of misleading labels has not been corrected for years... *facepalm* Masjawad99💬 00:29, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
