Nilo-Saharan

[edit]

Yes, there are problems with Nilo-Saharan. Some respected linguists suggest that it is unsupported, but other respected linguists disagree. Right now, there are major publications and WP:RSs that support Nilo-Saharan and Gumuz' inclusion within it (e.g., Lionel Bender's The Nilo-Saharan Languages). You're going to need some serious published source for removing it since the burden of proof presently supports its inclusion in Nilo-Saharan. While I understand the underpinning of your removal edits, I've reverted to the more substantially supported position, its inclusion. (Taivo (talk) 18:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I'm noticing a lot of question marks throughout the Nilo-Saharan articles so this whole issue probably needs a steady hand to standardize the approach to it (with references). If Gumuz is a problem, then you might refer to the article on Songhay languages on a good, well-referenced approach on dealing with it. Just calling Gumuz an isolate without a reference or comment on the history of its inclusion/exclusion won't do. (Taivo (talk) 18:34, 28 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]
Both Blench and Dimmendaal are of the opinion that Gumuz has not been shown to be a NS language. Dimmendaal feels the same about Koman, Songhay, and Kadu. I think that both agreeing that Gumuz is not supported as NS warrants a question mark. kwami (talk) 20:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Good reworking of the issue in the article. (Taivo (talk) 01:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]
