Recent reversions by User:Cookiemonster1618[edit]
@Cookiemonster1618: If you're going to claim that the classification you just reverted this and several pages back to is the correct one, you need to add sources. As it currently stands, you're just asserting that the previous one is correct without evidence. Arctic Circle System (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Kuulopuhe: As you are also involved in this via your recent edit on Acholi dialect, I'm pinging you as well. Arctic Circle System (talk) 00:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Here is the source cited with evidence that proves that the classification system I used is the mainstream one and not one from glottolog.

- I had a look at both the Ethnologue and Glottolog classifications. They have some key differences (e.g. Nandi-Markweeta/Pökoot in Ethnologue corresponding to Central Kalenjin/Northern Kalenjin in Glottolog). I drew up a table of correspondence between the classifications given in the two sources.
Ethnologue Glottolog Kalenjin Kalenjin Elgon Elgon-Mau Kalenjin Kupsapiiny (kpz) Kupsabiny Sabaot (spy) Sabaot Nandi-Markweta Central Kalenjin Kipsigis (sgc) Kipsigis Nandi Keiyo (eyo) Keiyo Kisankasa (kqh) Nandi (niq) Nandi Terik (tec) Terik Tugen (tuy) Tugen Northern Kalenjin Markweta (enb) Markweeta Pökoot (pko) Pökoot Okiek-Akie Okiek (oki) Okiek Akie Tatoga Tatoga-Omotik Omotik (omt) Omotik Datooga (tcc) Gemein Datooga
- Note that I flattened Glottolog's subdivisions of the Central Kalenjin group for easier comparison, and didn't list the languages given on Glottolog as part of the Gemein Datooga group. Also note that the sources used by Glottolog are Distefano 1985 and Rottland 1982; I couldn't find the exact sources Ethnologue used, however I will note that it seems to be considered a standard for language classification.
- I shall be back at a later point to comment further. User:Kuulopuhe 00:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
