• New: Good. Length: ~1700 chars Policy: AGFing due to accessibility and language barriers. Hook: Have some issues here, especially regarding the word "Ursprache" as few will know what it means. Abyssal (talk) 13:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

• Personally, I prefer the term Ursprache to Proto-language, but I changed it.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 17:53, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

• Why not call it the "parent language"? I think that would be even clearer for lay readers. Abyssal (talk) 15:32, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

• Parent language carries unwanted implications (Proto-language vs. Pre-language).--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 19:22, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

• Fine. I'll pass this. Abyssal (talk) 13:38, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
