Talk:Northwest Sumatra–Barrier Islands languages

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Austronesier in topic Incomplete name - page move

Shall we combine pages "Northwest Sumatran languages" and "Batak languages"together?

edit

These two terms seems to referring to the same content. 霎起林野间 (talk) 04:24, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

@霎起林野间: No, the Batak languages are only a subset of the languages referred to in this article. –Austronesier (talk) 08:23, 28 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

The subgroup described in this article is properly called "Barrier Islands–Batak"[1][2] or "Northwest Sumatra–Barrier Islands".[3][4] The latter was adopted in the Ethnologue and the Glottolog. "Northwest Sumatran" may be a handy short form but is AFAIK unsourced or at least not employed in the relevant sources.

I will move the page accordingly. –Austronesier (talk) 08:53, 28 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
