Languages of Khyber-Puhktunkhwa (Map)

[edit]

Languages of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (Pakistan Census 1998) http://www.pbs.gov.pk/sites/default/files/other/yearbook2011/Population/16-20.pdf

Map being used in various articles pertaining to languages of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa is incorrect and biased. It is showing tank as Seraiki speaking which is incorrect as majority of people in Tank speak Pashto. It is showing Karak as Hindko speaking while we know that almost 99% of the population of Karak is Pashto speaking Khattak. It is showing battagram as hindko speaking while we all know that most of the people in Battagram speak Pashto. Similarly, it is showing Shangla as hindko speaking, which is incorrect as most of the people their also speak Pashto. Finally, it is showing Toorghar district as Hindko speaking while we know most of the people their also speak Pashto. I think all this show biasness or incompetence on the part of the person who included that Map. Furthermore, it should also be noted that the map fails to show that most of the people on western side of Mansehra and Haripur speak Pashto, while most on western side of D.I.Khan also speak Pashto. I feel that the Map has grossly exaggerated the number of speakers of other languages. Tigerkhan007 (talk) 17:22, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to talk about the incorrect map being used with everyone, but no one has been able to provide any rationale on why the districts such as Battagram, toorghar, Shangla, Buner, Tank, Karak, etc are shown as Hindko and saraiki speaking when the text states that most of the population their speaks pashto. And also this is a matter of general knowledge that most of the population in the above mentioned districts speaks pashto. Moroever, due to this incorrect and biased map there is a contraditcion between the text and the map being used on the same articale. Therefore, i have replaced this incorrect map with a more accurate one. This will not only make the page more representative of the reallity but will also make wikipedia more reliable.

Proposed merge of Languages of Chitral into Chitral District

[edit]

There was previously a "languages" section in Chitral District, which was uncited and was removed in this edit in March 2019 with summary "remove unsourced claim(s)". Languages of Chitral was a redirect to Chitral District#Languages, which has not existed since that 2019 edit. It would seem more appropriate for this current text, created today (and upgraded by me before I realised the history), which has a couple of sources, to be part of the main article about the district.

Please remove this tag i created Languages of Chitral page secretly.103.255.7.41 (talk) 10:37, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - Chitral is a linguistically diverse area and that is why the article shouldn't be merged. Also Chitral District doesn't exist anymore. SavageBWiki (talk) 19:41, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Languages of Chitral

[edit]

@Uanfala: Shouldn't we merge the sources [1] as well? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:35, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I could see one relevant source and I used it [2]. Is there anything I'm missing? – Uanfala (talk) 16:44, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: This one? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:51, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't use that because it enumerates the languages of a much wider region. But if there's any specific content you'd like to add based on that source, just go ahead! – Uanfala (talk) 18:01, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: If you think this source is unnecessary then it is OK. Thanks for the merge . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:13, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

[edit]

For what reason does this page have protection? 2A02:C7C:507D:0:E045:7934:D744:BD39 (talk) 00:00, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It got the protection in 2015 [3]: there appears to have been a lot of disruptive editing at the time. I'm wondering though, it's been almost 8 years now, and it's likely the people causing disruption at the time will have now moved on. Pinging DMacks, who was the last to apply protection: do you think it could be lifted? – Uanfala (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, let's give it a try. DMacks (talk) 14:46, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested page move

[edit]

Chitral District has been divided into Lower and Upper Chitral Districts for six years now. The usefulness of this page is essentially based on its correspondence to Chitral as a geographic region, not as an administrative unit, which no longer exists. Hence it seems appropriate to move this page to Chitral region with necessary changes to reflect the article change. Sutyarashi (talk) 08:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sutyarashi: That can be done, I believe, since we also happen to have Kashmir article. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:48, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
