Hey thanks for the kind words re Georg Cantor! :-)
Now I need to study for prelims, and hope to stay from Wikipedia 'til September-ish, but I'll be back...
...and when I do return, I hope to also return to my work on articles related to Linguistics. I've been away for a while.. I hope to hit the List of Endangered languages pretty hard, adding tons of material until everyone says "Uncle" and lets me split it into several lists, as should have been done a long time ago.. and work on the several Formosan languages... Hawaiian language.. Austronesian languages.. etc.
I really appreciate your help & esprit de corps!

HI AR,
...some deletionist who is self-persuaded that he/she is a "wikipedia editor" tagged WP:ENLANG for deletion, then Angr removed the tag... here are two diffs add deletionist tag & then remove tag. Ling.Nut 13:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
(undent) I'll make you a deal: I'll help with Lenca if you'll help with Hawaiian language. Right now I'm studying for prelims, after which I have to write a dissertation proposal, after which I have to pack up and move overseas... Does late September or more likely early October sound good to you? -- Ling.Nut 18:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Sounds good! No hurry... --A R King 18:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
There are sources, so there is no reason to say the article is unsourced anymore. If I notice a new article without sources, I'll always tag it as unsourced, even if the author says that more is coming soon. There's no reason not too. The tag is easily removed when sources are added. --Onorem♠Dil 16:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi A.R., hope all is well with you! Just dropped by to share some good news -- Ling.Nut 18:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
I see from your user page you know something about Lenca as a language. Besides the lyle campbell articles, could you suggest references on Lenca? I know about Walter Lehman's work, and about Adolfo Costenla Umaña's dissertation and his idea that its a chibchan language, heavily modified by nahuat and maya, though I haven't yet got a copy of it. Are there other major sources I should know about? Thanks.
BTW, I'm a historian and anthropologist with some linguistic training, though its rusty, and my work is in Honduras. Rsheptak 02:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I've looked at the ES:Lenca stuff, with the exception of Lehman, which I'll go xerox this week. There are a lot of differences between Salvadoran and Honduran Lenca, and most authors seem to be treating them as two different languages, but they differ on when they separated. Both linguists and anthropologists seem to agree that the language is in fact extinct in Honduras. I spoke with two ethnographers at the Honduran Institute of Anthropology and History who were working in the Lenca region this summer, and none had found anyone who knew more than a few hundred words. Both Honduran and Salvadoran Lenca are undergoing cultural revitalization movements (do a search on "Maya-Lenca" "Najochan" on google to see one fascinating result for El Salvador) so there's definitely activity, and a desire to relearn the language.
BTW, I'll be in print in November arguing that the "Toquegua", who lived along the north coast of Honduras, and neighboring Guatemala, were a house society, just like the Maya; that they were multilingual (chol, yucatec, possibly nahaut) but that they named their places in Lenca, and that these place names were also used as apellidos (family names) among the "indios principales" of the towns in the colonial era. Many of the "dialects" the spanish record in fact appear to be house/family names in the Lenca region as well. I argue the Toquegua are a multilingual named house whose "lengua materna" is probably Lenca, and I suspect we'll find something similar for the other "dialects" the spanish told us about for Honduran Lenca.

Hi Alan,
I have seen since long ago your contributions in different projects of Wikimedia, and it's about time to say thanks. Your work, specially around the Basque language, is great. I'm not a linguist, I'm more a scientist (on the way of being an engineer, I hope), but I know that your work is top-notch. Eskerrik asko! - Keta 17:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi A R,
Whilst adjusting to my new job, I've been puttering around here and there, adding comments to discussion forums, but never dedicating a block of time to Wikipedia. Now I've decided I'm not helping the discussions any; they can carry on without me as well as before. :-) So I'm gonna putter around here and there on articles and on the List of endangered languages. I can't dedicate any significant block of contiguous time, but I will be chipping away at the stone.. let me know if there's anything i can do... --Ling.Nut 00:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Gidday Alan, hope you are travelling well!
When you have some time to spare, I was wondering whether you'd be able to help out with some information on, or sources that discuss, musical instruments featuring in Pipil tradition. This is in relation to a recently created article on the carimba (or caramba), a type of musical bow that is mentioned in a few (possibly dated) ethnohistorical sources as being found among the "nahuatl-speaking peoples" of the Salvadoran Pacific coast in particular, as well as a number of other (non-nahua) central american cultures. Over at the talk:Carimba talkpg we are trying to resolve the extent to which said instrument is or was part of broad nahuan musical traditions, and it occurred to me that you might have a pointer or two on the topic. If you have any insights, would be glad to hear of them at the article's talkpg.
Take care, and saludos. --cjllw ʘ TALK 04:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello! As you are the main writer on articles regarding Miskito language, was wondering if you'd considered providing a summary of the information in Miskito grammar and the typological article in the main language article. I was just a bit surprised that there was so much information on the language, and yet the main article itself contains less than two lines. — Zerida ☥ 19:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear A R King, You don't know me, but I noticed your work in some FAs on languages and linguistics and wondered if you might like to weigh in on an RfC that I initiated earlier this week. I fear that the discussion there has degenerated. I'm aware that you might not know anything specific about the language concerned (which I don't either), but the content issue is more general. I've tried to explain this more precisely in my statement (at the expense of using too many words which I hope you don't find too off-putting). Needless to say, if you do decide to say something, I don't expect you to say anything in support of my position, only to provide you best opinion.

Hi AR,
Long time no chat. I've moved a total of seven "list of endangered languages in x" lists into main space. They are linked at the newly stripped-down List of endangered languages. However, List of endangered languages in North America still needs a lot of help. There is a lot of (unverified) info at User:Ling.Nut/EthnicList. I also temporarily skipped over the Zapotec, Zoque and Otomi languages as they are larger and need careful attention. Any help you could offer would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks for all your work on linguistics articles here. I saw that article was very short but that the Wikibook was very good and I brought some of your text from the Wikibook here before I realized you edited here as well and have contributed to the Miskito related articles.

Congratulations on your work, not sure if you know, but it surprised me to find a town in El Salvador, where lots of people speaks Nahuatl, or the closest to pipil, I would think.
Raúl Gutiérrez (talk) 18:26, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Historically yes, but today it is quite hard to find anyone who can still speak it (despite "myths" to the contrary). There are now more speakers in towns to the south and west (Cuisnahuat, Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Tacuba...). I have no doubt this is because the persecution and genocidal murder of (Nawat-speaking) Pipils was strongest or most effective in the Izalco-Nahuizalco area, which was the traditional stronghold and "capital" of Pipil society until the beginning of the 20th century; in the places I mention more speakers have survived longer because these were remote, peripheral areas (from a "Salvadorean" viewpoint). --A R King (talk) 15:41, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.
A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.
Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).
Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.
Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the ((sigfig)) template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)
Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.
If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.
The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.
Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

Are YOU actually reducing "Systemic Bias"? What kind of "bias" are you even talking about? For example, that a worldy site centers around wealthy and lavish businessman and upper-class people like scientists, and not humble people like farmers or workers and tradesmen? Sadly, that does not surprise me at all.
