Issues with article[edit]

A few issues I found -

  1. Are there English sources that mentioned "Land language" or is that your own translation? It may be original research if there are no English sources for the title. You can use "Bahasa Tana", "Bahasa Tanah", or "Tana language".
  2. What is the relationship of Bahasa Tana with other languages such as the Asilulu language? There are so many things that are not clear in the article.
  3. The status of the language is confusing. One source that mentions "Bahasa Tana" says that it is an almost extinct language, another says that "Bahasa Tanah" has no active speakers - [1]. Another says it is spoken by adults but not children - [2].
  4. I cannot find a book titled "Tana Asilulu-English dictionary" by James T Collins, only "Asilulu-English dictionary". Is that a real title or something invented? It makes the facts given in the article doubtful. Hzh (talk) 12:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved the article to "Bahasa Tanah" since that is the term often used in literature, even in English. Personal translation of the term should not be used because there are other possible ways to translate it. Hzh (talk) 08:47, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
