Consensus claims
Hiello, can you produce any reference for claims that there is some kind of "consensus" on Serbo-Croatian linguistic controversy? Several linguistic sources that prove the non-existence of such "consensus" are mentioned here. Sorabino (talk) 08:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
balto-slavic hypotheses
Hi, why are you undoing the edit about balto-slavic proto language being a hypotheses? There are so many linguists whose research has shown completely different results, for example, J. Baudouin de Courtenay (1903), A. Meillet (1905, 1908, 1922, 1925, 1934), J. Endzelins (1911, 1923, 1931, 1951, 1952), K. Jaunius (1908), K. Būga (1910, 1913, 1922, 1924), G. Bonfante (1935), Ch. Stang (1939, 1957, 1963, 1966), A. Senn (1941, 1954, 1966), E. Fraenkel (1950), W. Porzig (1954), A. Salys (1955), W. K. Matthews (1957), I. Lekov (1958), L. Bulachovskij (1958), B. V. Gornung (1958, 1963), J. Loja (1961), F. P. Filin (1962), A. Klimas (1967), S. Karaliūnas (1968), G. Shevelov (1964)? It's not possible to state a hypothesis for a fact when so many linguists have a completely different opinion. Maiden of the lilies (talk) 15:05, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- None of those sources are more recent than 1968, it looks like. Rua (mew) 15:15, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
Burrow (2001), Maziulis (2011), etc etc. It is not possible to state that there is a consensus, if Encyclopaedia Britannica is stating something diametrically opposed. And even if there were a consensus now, which is not actually the case, the readers of Wikipedia had a right to know that this theory has been seriously disputed in the past. ˜˜˜˜ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maiden of the lilies (talk • contribs) 12:47, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Please discuss it on the talk page of the Proto-Balto-Slavic page rather than here, as I'm sure there are other editors who want to join in. Rua (mew) 12:53, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Yes, that might be a good idea. Anyway, this article might be of interest to you, about the history of the subject in question since its very beginnings: Klimas[1]. I love knowlegde too. With friendly greetings, Maiden of the lilies (talk) 15:26, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
