Talk:Yugambeh language

Neerang edit

Can anyone here help on the Nerang River page with exactly what "Neerang" means. The references (as shown) say "little shark" etc, but would that mean the Bull shark (which I suspect inhabits the river), or just a small shark of an unspecified species? -- Kevin Ryde 01:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

classification edit

Okay, Yugambeh is a dialect of Bandjalang, which is a PN isolate, at the same time as being a Yuin–Kuric lang. Are there two Yugambeh's we're (I'm?) getting mixed up? — kwami (talk) 08:23, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think I've sorted it out. — kwami (talk) 06:33, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yugambeh is not a dialect, it is a language - a member of the Bandjalangic branch of the wider Pama–Nyungan language family; other languages in the family include Gidabal, Wahlubal, and Bandjalang proper, each with roughly 4-5 dialects each. How do I edit / cite sources so I can change this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.139.237 (talk) 03:02, 12 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yugambeh LanguageYugambeh language – Sentence capitalisation, per WP:NCCAPS and WP:NCLANG. Normally this would be an uncontroversial technical move request. However, since this article has been previously titled "Yugambeh language", "Yugambeh dialect" and "Yugambeh (linguistics)" – and debate could potentially arise in favour of more than one of these names (see Talk:Yugambeh Language#classification) – I thought I'd err on the side of caution and list it for discussion.

  • Note: Just to clarify, I do support its classification as a "language" rather than a "dialect", in line with other Indigenous Australian languages, and thus support the move to "Yugambeh language" with sentence capitalisation. Liveste (talkedits) 02:40, 25 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per WP:CONSISTENCY with other language articles. It is clear that this is a language, and not a dialect. CookieMonster755 03:21, 27 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support I was not aware of the Capitalisation rules. The choice of language reflects WP:NCLANG i.e. most common usage. BlackfullaLinguist (talk) 06:28, 27 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Strongly support per WP:CONSISTENCY and WP:NCLANG. Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:02, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
