Kamrupi people rollback

I have reverted your controversial edits on Kamrupi people, after the AE Block. Please note that the original ban had this to say: The person should obtain consensus for changes that are known to be controversial; if they don't get consensus they should let it go. Please obtain consensus before inserting controversial claims. Chaipau (talk) 15:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

AE block

To enforce an arbitration decision and for a topic ban violation, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Kamrupi dialect, Wiktionary

Hello. I'm adding Kamrupi dialect on Wiktionary. I'm making a verb conjugation template. I found the conjugations in books, but it's hard to find the negative forms. The book by Upendranath Goswami doesn't have any mention of how negative forms are formed. It seems he studied the Nalbaria dialectal. There's a book on Barpeta dialect which has negatives but lacks few other forms. If you want to help, can you tell me which sub dialect do you speak or you're fluent in?
I'm going examples of the confusing things (Nalbaria dialect):
thaikbi = nathaikbi/nathkibi (?)
thaikli = nathaikli/nathkili (?)
kandu = naknu(?)
kaindbi = nakaindbi/? .... And negative forms of -a ending causative verbs,
bonelu(?) (st: বনালোঁ)= nobnelu(?) Msasag (talk) 18:51, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are banned from the topic of the languages of Assam, both in articles and on talk pages. This includes the pages at Kamrupi dialect, Kamarupi Prakrit, Early Assamese and related articles and talk pages.

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to your edit warring complaint about Kamrupi culture

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. EdJohnston (talk) 04:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

You are again pushing "Kamrupi language" here. There was a discussion and it was independently determined to not call it a language: Talk:Kamrupi_dialects#Requested_move_26_May_2019. Please stop this disruptive behavior. Chaipau (talk) 13:01, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that is a reliable source - both Guha and Baruah. Why are you deleting them? Chaipau (talk) 12:38, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

It is part of larger problem. You are constantly removing sources there and from other articles for more than decade now which don't conforms to your notions or liking.

Bengali-Assamese languages

I request you to stop vandalizing the page, as you did here: [4]. If you have issues with the names of the scripts and alphabets, discuss in the respective pages: Bengali-Assamese script, Bengali alphabet and Assamese alphabet. Chaipau (talk) 03:13, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Issue is throughly discussed involving other editor, i agree with him there.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 05:32, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

The name of the script has indeed been thoroughly discussed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bengali%E2%80%93Assamese_script/Archive_1#Requested_move_13_February_2019 and it was decided to name it "Bengali-Assamese script". You are trying to use a construct like [[Bengali-Assamese script|Bengali script]] to rename the name "Bengali script" in the Bengali-Assamese languages page and to delete the mention of alphabets. Stop doing that. Chaipau (talk) 08:35, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

That title discussion has nothing to do with current dispute, Assamese scholars agreed that it is the same script.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 02:11, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Who is saying it is not? And the name of the script on Wikipedia is "Bengali-Assamese", though it is a misnomer — for long, it was called "Eastern Nagari". But the alphabets are different. So your edits, without understanding the nuances here, are very disruptive. Chaipau (talk) 10:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

We are not changing the name of script, but some text in article must accomodate views of other linguists who claimed Assamese adopted Bengali script in nineteenth century as part of standardiation by dropping native Kamarupi script variety (both the modern script are exactly same except two letters). Both side must be equally presented.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 08:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks RE: Kamrupi dialect resources

I appreciate your time in reading my comments and continuing to provide me with resources. My area of expertise in Linguistics is primarily Sociolinguistics, but beyond that, I spent many years studying the Mohawk language, also known as Kanienʼkéha. At the time, I was unaware, or at least highly skeptical of my maternal family's claims of descent from Mohawks and another Iroquois people, The Onondaga people. Even when several of the native speakers with whom I worked shared with me their belief that the only reason I could speak the languages was because I was on of them, I laughed it off. Eventually, modern records searches and DNA tests convinced me they weren't exaggerating and honestly, if you look at my Mom, it's pretty obvious. Of course, I don't buy into that theory that one has to be of the blood to speak a language. I chose Mohawk because I spoke French and Mohawk has nasalized vowels that coincide with French, making it easier to master if you first speak French. I identify more with my Dad's Western Irish ancestry since he is first generation American. Also, on the East Coast of the USA, where I spent my early life and young adulthood, Irish people (not merely Irish-American) have their own culture, speak Hiberno-English, vacation in specific areas in The Castkills since they were/are unwelcome in "white" resorts and so forth. When I was seeking employment as a young woman in the late 1980s, I had to dye my hair blonde and allow people to assume my name was German in origin and that I was Lutheran or some other accepted religion, anything but Catholic. These details are likely unimportant, but I wanted to sketch you a little picture of my background. My dad grew up in a time when children were slapped for speaking Irish or even Hiberno-English. I grew up in a time when his parents had come to regret the loss of their language culture and thus encouraged me from childhood to sing songs in Irish, play Irish games or dancing with other children in "The Irish Alps," at family-friendly "resorts" in East Durham, NY. SO that's me in a nutshell.

When it comes to Linguistics and various issues bubbling in the field today, I am far more open-minded than some of my responses my seem. I left the field to begin working in the Film Industry in 1990 but even then, I tried to keep up to date and through some funded Folklore research, I found myself back doing field work and recording older Nahuatl speakers telling me stories. I only had one year of Nahuatl under my belt when I began that but I was still more experienced than many of the others I worked beside.

I became interested in the languages of India and South Asia through film back when I was in Grad School. There was simply no one to explain the films to me and so I jumped in on my own. Later, when I became involved in Film Distribution, I was recruited by a company that released Bollywood films and also some Indonesian films. Strange combination, I know, but hey, it was fun. I met my husband (re-met, actually) during a Film Festival celebrating the films of Brazilian Horror director/character, Zé do Caixão ( known as Coffin Joe in English). Our mutual love of World Cinema led to marriage.

There you have it. Thanks for reading! I hadn't intended to write so much. Just know I am open to reading more on Kamrupi and the issue that brought us together on Wikipedia. It's always wonderful to have a chance to use ones skills again and even more wonderful to use them outside your comfort zone. Thanks again and feel free to give me more to read.

Kamrupi DRN follow-up

Bhaskar, now that the Kamrupi dispute resolution has concluded, I have rescinded your voluntary restriction from editing the related articles and talkpages. I hope that the DRN discussion has helped settle the central issues and that the active RFCs and move-requests at Talk:Kamrupi dialect and Talk:Kamarupi Prakrit help move the process further forward.

I appreciate your (and other editors') participation at the DRN discussion but want to be clear that if the issues that were settled during the discussion are re-opened anytime soon or the editing-conduct you have been warned about resumes, you will face a topic-ban. In particular, for reasons that both Robert McClenon and I have explained before, I hope that you don't take these to the takeaways from the discussion. Wish you the best and let me know if you have any questions. Happy editing. Abecedare (talk) 16:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Abecedare, i am happy that DRN discussion is finally over. Although i am the creator and original contributor to Kamrupi articles, i am currently feeling being on bail (lol), as the number of warnings i received in last three months. Thatswhy, i am hesitant to edit Kamrupi language articles for some time. If policy permits (as moderated discussion is over), consider editing the articles to reflect changes of DRN discussion (as neutral person), if your time permits; else advise.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 19:07, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I can sympathize with the "warning overload" and left the above message because I though that the only thing worse than the repeated warnings about X is being sanctioned because one doesn't realize that X is a problem. Hope you understand.

I am not well-read enough in the area to edit the Kamrupi language related articles but, thankfully, quite a few others are. That said, it may be a good idea for all of you to take a break from that page and then make substantive changes to the article only after fair discussion (while, again, avoiding re-opening settled issues or engaging in discursive and extended debates). Hopefully the experience at DRN, and Robert McClenon's moderation of that discussion, has given you all some ideas on how to discuss the issues more productively. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 19:22, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I have reverted your massive edit in Kamrupi dialect ([5]) because you have gone back to your old ways inserting your POV, ignoring the advice from User:Abecedare above (I am not tagging Abecedare since I am not escalating this just yet). We just completed a DRN based on the recommendation at the ANI. This is just a gentle reminder that if you persist with your style of editing we will have to go back to ANI that we made no progress over these few months.

Tendentious editing

This is tendentious and disruptive, given that:

1. The very question (and the sources/quotes you cite) were discussed very recently in an RFC and the consensus after two and a half month of discussion was against you;
2. You have been told at the current DRN (repeatedly) that simply sloganeering "inclusion of all viewpoints" is not a recipe for getting any specific content to get included without consideration of WP:V, WP:OR and WP:DUE. Instead of taking the feedback on-board, you are now citing that very DRN and "inclusion of all viewpoints" as a justification for re-opening a recently settled discussion?! That beggars belief.

I have archived the discussion at Talk:Assamese and if such conduct continues or spreads elsewhere, you are likely to be topic-banned from these areas. Abecedare (talk) 17:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Abecedare, actually i initiatated that discussion in talk to take the matter to WP:DRN as per suggestion of one of the involved editors. Any advice on it, should i settle with that RFC ?भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 17:22, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

It is very important to maintain focus at any discussion and dispute resolution process. Throwing everything into the sink is not helpful. Neither is not accepting that any dispute has been (at least temporarily) settled. These have been the prime factors behind these debates becoming circular and neverending.

Given the recent RFC at Talk:Assamese, I would suggest waiting at least a year and then considering re-opening the discussion or initiating a DRN only if new and substantial sources that were not available at the time of the RFC are brought to light. Else you are just wasting other editors' time, which is the most precious resource that a volunteer-driven project like wikipedia has. Abecedare (talk) 17:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Abecedare, i am dropping the issue.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 17:35, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Abecedare is it appropriate to add "Government of Assam" website link on 'history of people of Assam' in external links, of 'peopling of Assam' related articles.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 11:55, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

That is just a chapter of the Assam State Gazetteer. To the extent the reference contains relevant and reliable information, that should be incorporated into the article and the gazetteer cited. See WP:ELRC for the relevant guideline.

Speaking generally, gazetteers are useful reference works for geographical information, statistical data, and non-controversial plain facts (such as, state flower; official languages etc). They are rarely good sources for history since, (a) they usually provide a Cliff's Notes version of it; and (b) when produced by government institutions, they can often be biased/promotional. Furthermore, even modern gazetteers produced in by central/state governments in India often incorporate material from versions produced during the Raj Era, which were notorious for mixing actual history, folk-history, community-lore and mythology. That said, I don't know how much of this applies to Assam State Gazetteer and whether it is usable as a source will depend upon the particular claim it is being cited for and that is best discussed on the relevant article talkpage with other editors. Abecedare (talk) 16:15, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Abecedare, the main objection of other editor is Dravidian people/Dravidian being an racist term coined in 1940s. You being involved in India related articles, are you aware of any such theory.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 17:19, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, but I am not going to get sucked into that content-dispute. I didn't realize that the gazetteer external link question was related to the Assamese people RFC and what now appears to be another attempt to restart that discussion. Given the number of warnings you have received about exactly such tendentious and IDHT conduct, the next such attempt will lead to a topic-ban and not further warnings. Abecedare (talk) 18:34, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Abecedare, that is not my intention as i already inform you about dropping the issue, i did not realise that my query amounts to restarting of discussion.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 18:50, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Kamarupi Prakrit RFC

Given that this RFC flows out of the DRN discussion in which you are a participant, I am on my individual authority as an involved admin exempting you from your voluntary editing restriction so that you can weigh in at the RFC.

Note though that this exemption is narrowly directed to the "article naming issue" and not a carte blanche to bring up all the other points of contention that you may have with regards to the topic-area (the ongoing DRN is the appropriate venue for those). I would also highly recommend that you limit your input to stating your name-preference and supporting evidence succinctly rather than try to debate the issue at length with individual participants at the RFC. I sincerely hope this works out but if the RFC becomes unmanageable, disruptive editors may face a page/topic-ban under the IPA discretionary sanctions.

Pinging @Robert McClenon: to see if they have any objection/input with respect to the above. Abecedare (talk) 05:31, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Abecedare thank you, that is helpful.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 07:59, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

User:Abecedare - I was not happy in the first place with the idea of DRN being mandated by an administrator or by a voluntary or involuntary topic ban. All forms of dispute resolution except for RFC are voluntary and non-binding. RFC is voluntary but binding. I didn't like being involved in a checklist, but that is the way it was done. I would prefer that the voluntary editing restriction, if it is voluntary, be scrapped, but that is not my issue. In any case, the RFC is part of the DRN, and participation in the RFC is an important part of participation in the DRN. The subject editor shouldmust be allowed to take part in the RFC. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:12, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: Thanks for the input. I partially agree and partially disagree with your take about the process leading up to the DRN, but this may not be the right occasion or venue to get into the weeds of that. At least we are on the same page as to Bhaskar's participation in the RFC.

PS: Also thanks for marshaling the discussion at DRN despite your reservations with the process. Abecedare (talk) 16:07, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Bhaskar, I have closed the ANI thread and logged the editing restrictions that you agreed to. I'll also add that while my comments at the ANI thread did not delve into any of the reported behavioral issues, you should read over the complaints by Aeusoes1 and Chaipau to see how the reported problems can be avoided at your end.

If you have any questions about the editing restrictions, please feel free to ask me. I hope the DRN process is fruitful for all involved. Abecedare (talk) 06:27, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

3RR warning for article Assamese people

Your recent editing history at Assamese people shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Kamrupi

Hi, are you a fluent Kamrupi speaker? Would you like to discuss about Kamrupi? I want to know what's the difference between গেল, গেলা and গেলাক. Msasag (talk) 04:44, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Msasag; গেল/Gal = Gone, গেলাক/Galaak = past participle, the গেলা is not preset in Kamrupi.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 17:24, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Gelak is only used for 3rd person? Can we say "Apni gelak", "Xi/Tai gelak", "Xenthe gelak"? Preserving the language is great, many people in Central and Western Assam are leaving their dialects which is sad, but we should care about the thing that this preservation should only aim to make people respect and preserve these dialects. It should not cause hatred and misunderstandings. It should not divide people. I hope more linguistic features will be recorded and false infos will be avoided. By the way dialect means a very mutually intelligible closely related language, which means Kamrupi is a language and Eastern Assamese is a dialect of it, just like Eastern Assamese is a language and Kamrupi is its dialect. Msasag (talk) 12:39, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

It may also used for first person, say you phone call someone and ask "Apni gelak neki ?" (Are you gone ?), "Tai gelak neki" ? (Is she gone ?). I agree with you, cultural difference should not divide people. The article is created with reliable secondary sources like thesis and good books. The definition of dialect sometimes is very complex. The loss of prestige due to various historical reasons also downgrade a language into a dialect of current dominant language.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 13:19, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, how to form negative sentences in Kamrupi (please mention the dialect).

মই কাটোঁ = মই কাটোঁ

নেকাটোঁ = নাক্টুঁ

কাটি আছোঁ = কাটি আছুঁ

কাটি থকা নাই = কাটি থাকা নাই (?)

কাটিছোঁ = কাট্ছুঁ

কটা নাই = কাটা নাই (?)

কাটিলোঁ = কাট্লুঁ

নেকাটিলোঁ = নাকাট্লুঁ (?)

কাটিছিলোঁ = কাট্ছিলুঁ

নেকাটিছিলোঁ / কটা নাছিলোঁ = নাক্টিছিলুঁ (?) / কাটা নাছ্লুঁ (?)

কাটি আছিলোঁ = কাটি আছ্লুঁ

কাটি থকা নাছিলোঁ = কাটি থাকা নাছ্লুঁ (?)

কাটিম = কাটিম

নেকাটিম = নাক্টিম (?)

কাটি থাকিম = কাটি থাকিম

কাটি নেথাকিম = কাটি নাথ্কিম (?)

কাটি থাকিবি = কাটি থাক্পি

কাটি নেথাকিবি = কাটি নাথাক্পি (?)

Msasag (talk) 05:37, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

In above sentences dialectical differences between west, central and south Kamrupi are negligible. The low vowels of Eastern Assamese are replaced by high vowels of Kamrupi e.g. Kamrupi=Kata, Eastern Assamese=Kota; the medial vowels are slurred sometimes say Kamrupi=Naktu and Eastern Assamese=Nekatu.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 06:23, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tower House (1962 Hindi film)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tower House (1962 Hindi film) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.interval.in/videos.php?id=213429. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Kamrupia words

Hi, do Kamrupia speakers say /manuʃ/ for "human" and does Kamrupia have /tʃ/ sound which you used in "chowk"?

I heard "manuh". Do you consider "manuh" a borrowed word, from Eastern Assamese?

Like Eastern Assamese Kamrupia also had /s/ to /x/ or /h/ shifting. So I don't think that manuh is a borrowed word. But manush can be is it's used in Kamrupia.

I never heard চ্ pronounced as /tʃ/ in Kamrupia. Msasag (talk) 06:53, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Msasag, how are you. I like to correct you here that standard and native word is 'Kamrupi'. Yes, east Assamese has influenced Kamrupi and Goalpariya languages significantly due to its standardisation (read Sankritisation) and official status in the entire valley since mid 19th century. You may know that in late nineteenth century Kamrupi scholars like Shyamal Choudhury, Amrita Bhushan Adhikary and Kaliram Medhi objected the imposition of east Assamese as official language of entire valley due to antiquity and distinctness of Kamrupi language.

I agree with you that many Kamrupi people adopted Manuh instead of authentic Kamrupi word 'manush', which was used in works like "Katha Gita". The Kamrupi word for townsquare is Chowk which you can physically verify.

In east Assamese /s/ became /x/ due to influence of nearby Tibeto-Burman and Sino-Tibetan language families, while in Kamrupi it became /kh/. The influence of /x/ reduces significantly when you move from east to west in the Brahmaputra valley, like complete absence of /x/ in west Goalpariya dialect.भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 08:58, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am fine.

"Katha gita" was written in 1558-1638, so we just have the spelling, not any recording of the pronunciation. I have not read Katha gita but I'm guessing that it was written as মানুষ. As we know that a language can change a lot and spellings can't always show the exact pronunciation. In Eastern Assamese we know that there's no difference between the pronunciations of চ-ছ, ত-ট, স-শ-ষ and yet they are used. Here we are discussing modern Kamrupi, not 15-16th century Kamrupi or any other language/dialect.

Comparing with other words with চ and ছ, like হচা /ɦɔsa/, ছানা /sana/, ছলি /sɔli/, গেছি /gɛsi/, I wonder why is the চ in চৌক pronounced as /tʃ/and not /s/. Do you know any other words were /tʃ/ sound is present?

I listened to some Kamrupi videos. /x/ is present in Kamrupi. According to the article, the final /x/ became /kʰ/ and /h/, which means other /x/ remained as /x/.

Can you translate these words to Kamrupi? (use the commonly used Eastern Nagari alphabet)

wind, sky, hope, bamboo, grass, sit, Rishi, nest.

Thanks! Msasag (talk) 13:36, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Oh! I just learned that the native word is actually কামৰূইপা (kamruipa). Msasag (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

International Phonetic Alphabet, Kamrupi phonology and vocabulary.

Hi, for your information, Kamrupi just like many Bengali-Assamese languages, doesn't have long vowels. The macron (diacritic) is not used in IPA, it's used in other romanisations. Please don't mix them. For long sound ː is used. It seems the native word is কামৰূইপা (kamruipa) /kamɾuipa/, and if its name is Kamrupi in English then use English pronunciation, which is like /'kæmruːpɪ/ (not sure) because English and Kamrupi are not the same language.
Why did you remove its native name kamruipa and Assamese name kamrupia? Msasag (talk) 14:20, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Kamrupi is native word, used same way for all purposes. The article is prepared based on research works of U.N Goswami and others.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Banarasi Babu (1973 film), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Manorama and Veena (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, please do not assess articles created by you. If you think that you have improved the article content significantly and wants to request a re-assessment, you can do so at Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment. --Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 04:03, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikimapia

Please do not cite Wikimapia as a source. The content is user-generated, and thus not considered reliable. For further discussion of this, see this thread on the reliable sources noticeboard: [6] AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:04, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Agree. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 05:07, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Further to this, I very much doubt that the way you are using pincodeof.com as a 'source' would be acceptable either. Even if the website was accepted as reliable, it tells us nothing whatsoever about a location, other than a pin code - which is of no relevance to article content. Citing it is misleading. AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:12, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

No, it states that area exist in particular district, state, country and postal code is assigned to it. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 05:15, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for welcoming me! I am currently trying to create an entry about a beautiful and unique church and its history in Hungary.

Arnold Herbert

Today you tagged this article for unreliable sources. As the provider of the sources, I can confirm that the two sources are the most authoritative sources in existence. I have deleted you tag.

Etymology of Assam

You have made some very edits here that does not live up to scrutiny. For example, you seem to suggest that Sujata Miri claims that the name Assam is derived from asama. I have checked the work and she does nothing of the sort. She does say "it is said to be an anglicised version of the Sanskrit word 'Asama'", but only to indicate what others have said. As for her own views, she emphatically says: "There is, I think, no doubt that the word is derived from the present designation of the Ahoms." further down the text, in the next paragraph. It is possible you missed out on the rest of the text when you searched for "asama" on books.google.com, because it only affords a snippet view of it [7]. Please do not resort to searching for your POV and citing from cherry picked quotes just to "protect" your edits. As this example has shown, you are wrong. This practice puts up wrong information on Wikipedia; you may violate WP:VERIFY; and you are likely to make a false representation of a source (Wikipedia:Disruptive_editing#Signs_of_disruptive_editing), which might amount to disruptive editing. If you do not have access to the book, please visit the nearest library.

I shall remove this from the article. If you have questions, please discuss in the talk page of the article.

Removing referenced texts from Kamarupa Pithas

Hi, You had removed texts that were referenced with citations three times in the duration of 24 hours (diff, diff and diff). If you have problems with Dineshchandra Sircar, a well known and respected epigraphist and historian, refer his work to WP:RSN. You cannot cite your own objections in another talk page, as you have done, and remove referenced texts, under WP:VERIFY. I have restored the cited texts. If you have objections, please discuss in the talk page. Chaipau (talk) 21:30, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti

Hi, I noticed that you removed maintenance tags in Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti without addressing the issues.

For your information:

• The current lede does not contain a definition of the subject of the article;
• The article has plenty of unnecessary and/or irrelevant information, including peacock words, and consequently reads like a story, an essay of a high-school student, not like an encyclopaedic article. A few examples:
  • "The samiti started its work with a missionary zeal" (meaningless words "with missionary zeal").
  • "Assam formally inaugurated the samiti’s building with a silver key on November 19, 1917, he practically opened a new chapter in Assam’s rich tradition of preservation of historical records." (peacock word "rich"; meaningless statement "new chapter"; it's utterly irrelevant what metal the key was made of; etc.)
  • "The samiti... was destined to play a pivotal role...", "a number of prominent personalities", "precious collections", "excellent and rich collection", etc. (peacock/meaningless again).
  • The list of patrons/donor names and especially their honorific titles (see WP:TITLE) and towns of residence are utterly irrelevant.
  • etc., etc.
• The article has problems with links - "Calcutta High Court" should not be linked to Calcutta but to Calcutta High Court; links missing at Calcutta (elsewhere), Assam Valley, Dibrugarh, Bihar, puthis, buranjis, Dighlipukhri, ₹, etc., etc.
• Verbs do not always agree with the subject - please look up yourself as I am already wasting too much time pointing out the obvious.

I have now restored the tags. Regards, kashmiri ^TALK 16:53, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
