== Design ==

I always liked the blue-ish button theme. They are quite awesome. 

On another note, I like the idea embodied in your draft for a new logo, although I can't say I really approve of the Castellar font. It feels a tad out of place. I appreciate the Latinate origin of the word and the connection with the font family of Roman style letters but I don't know. Castellar and Trajan don't feel particularly welcoming to me. Perhaps something more modern but still classy?  Adobe Caslon Pro is quite similar to Castellar in its capital shapes and conveys class without straying into dusty old books territory… hmm 
besides that, I think it's quite classy without being cheesy (like the current one, lol) - [[User:Chrysophylax|Chrysophylax]] ([[User_talk:Chrysophylax|talky talk]]) 22:06, 8 November 2012 (CET)

[[File:A_few_fonts.png|500px]]

Hm, it seems it changed the three first bottom lowercase examples to the same font. Ah, sigh.

Oh dear! Couldn't find a bigger one could you?

I actually suspected you wouldn't, I suppose that's obvious from your personality. I am not sure about the current one though... My aesthetic senses itch when I see it...
But I'm sure I'll come up with something that you'd prefer!

Oh! Qué decisión más difícil. Tertia versio tua oculos meos delectat. Tranquilitassecuritasque incarnat, inquit Chrysophylax. Placetne tibi ista "Castellar"? Fortasse tibi placebit altera versio cum capitalibus? Si Caslon tibi displicet alteram scripturam invenire possumus.

::: Aha! '''''ʿeureka!''''' What about a more framträdande förstasida? Det vill säga, Main_Page skulle kunna ha något mer imponerande som en banner. You know, something that says awesomeness and is visually attention-grabbing. I'd personally prefer it on the first page than always drawing your attention like the irk…wikia-logo. What do you think of this? - [[User:Chrysophylax|Chrysophylax]] ([[User_talk:Chrysophylax|talky talk]]) 21:50, 9 November 2012 (CET)

Oooh, that's a very archaic Greek. I'll avoid writing it then. Colours.... Well, not exactly to recommend in a logo... And yes of course! You wouldn't know because you can't read minds, but I am actually sketching on a front page right now, and yes, it'll draw attention! And by the way... 08? Allvarligt talat? Stön... ;P --[[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] ([[User talk:Waahlis|talk]]) 00:19, 10 November 2012 (CET)

:Well, the only Greek I've ever taken is Ancient Greek (which I'm in the process of commencing to learn. My grasp of it is proto-proto-proto-existent.) I must admit, I'm not a very successful Roman aristocrat, what with my limited command of the ''noblest of tongues''. Thus, I propose to temporarily abandon the old sermones for some English! As we've seem to have done already. 
:''Hehehehe''. True, colours tend to look a bit nasty in logos. I think the logo looks quite nice with the recently changed skin though. What do you think? Also, I've started fixing up Dhannuá here, seeing as its one of the most developed languages I have on paper (technically Word/PDF documents scattered over my harddrives) but yes, irrelevant rambling aside, it's good to see some ''corpus'' developing. Your Attian has me most intrigued! 
:On another note, have you heard anything from anyone on the Wikkii-wiki? Nothing against your company (it's most enjoyable! :D) but it sure does feel a little empty. That, and I'd be elated if more people actually started using this, because if there's one thing I like almost as much as conlanging itself, it's reading about well-thought out conlangs! /sad phylax.

The only Greek I have extensively studied is Modern. Other, archaic forms were sort of included... At least it is better than my Latin, which I can only read properly. Excellent, you've switched to Vector as well? Or have you somehow standardised it, because if you have, my preferences tell the sote to override any other skin... And you know I like Dhannuá! It is very aesthetic, and very faithful to its Indo-European heritage! Why thank you!

Well, we conjecture that the hurricane Sandy is to blame for the down-time, as it seems to have coincided fairly well with the date Wikkii went down. I don't really have the contact info on anyone on wikkii except the admins, and MOB has been alerted where this wiki is. :D He'll probably come join us!

Let's just say I prefer the framsida before the baksida... ;P Will you have more time to edit today? [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] ([[User talk:Waahlis|talk]]) 07:46, 10 November 2012 (CET)

How are you importing stuff? Google cache? '''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 19:04, 10 November 2012 (CET)

Actually, I don't think code's possible to import by Google cache... :/ I just used wikia for the documentation templates. For Nāmic as well (which made it slightly unupdated). We could give it a try at the caches though. [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] ([[User talk:Waahlis|talk]]) 19:17, 10 November 2012 (CET)

No, the source code is messed up but it's still better than nothing. I don't think anything significant will have been lost but anything that is is still annoying. '''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 19:40, 10 November 2012 (CET)

I did that as well, on Facebook. I am fairly sure they wouldn't just shut down it all. Well, he wouldn't.

Would you mind getting a blue administrator sphere then? :D Of course not, as I said: a '''very''' preliminary draught of a Main page. 

By the way, would you mind not answering my messages to you on my talk page? :P It gets rather cluttered, I think! [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   12:05, 11 November 2012 (CET)

If he does not object to sharing the colour (after all: ''In omnio anno rei publicae duo consules fuerunt, qui in toga picta vestiebantur'') I'd opt for purple myself.

== Thoughts ==

Seeing as you're the apparent leading in-house scholar on Indo-European languages I'd like to ask you for some thoughts regarding this most anciente and wickede variant of Classical Dhannuá.

:{|
|colspan=21|''Bhōzōiōm Lūdhas peri sar sa dānaizā dhānnwa ta bhōzānd sann i āuzir nissīr sei ta izd sa aliūzella swēsor dhānnwar Lūsanar.'' ||

|}

The translation ends up something like: "'I Lúthais, say of that, that dánaizian tongue that they speak in the eastern isles, that it is another sister of the tongue of Lúsan. They have changed for themselves r for z and other strange things."

It's a non-rhotacised variant so to speak. Cf. Continental Silver-age Classical Dhannuá ''bhōzō'', '''bhōz'''– with Standard Dhannuá ''bhóran'', '''bhór'''-. [[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 01:46, 14 November 2012 (CET)

Oh dear, where dd you get that from? :P Flattering, though!

Let's see... from ''Bhōzōiōm'' from *bʰeh₂, then ''peri'' from *peri... Why voice*h₁és(e)t(i) to ''izd''? Also, I suppose the "she" and "they" are feminine demonstratives? Maybe you could gloss that differently? Also, the ''Lannarīzānd'' is not that transparent to me...! Amazing language, truly! :D [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   20:39, 14 November 2012 (CET)


:In the Continental varieties intervocalic s gets voiced, thus *h₁és(e)ti -> *ízeti -> ízəd -> izd. This is somewhat sporadic because there is some analogical levelling present. Lannarīzānd is actually miswritten I see now. For starters it should be -ānd and not -zānd. Then the stem is off too, '''*lnk-ya-''' (0-grade derivative of PIE **lenk-) should have developed into ''lannia-'' (at least in this dialect). The PIE sigmatic aorist -> imperfective past is here affixed. (s > z) (I appear to have added the Insular version -rī- for some weird reason.)
:{|
|lannia-z-ānd||
|-
|twist-{{sc|ipfv.pst-3pl}}
|-
|}
:change/twist/distort are the defs. of the verb ''lanniad''. Thus while literally "they have twisted for themselves" I translated it as changed. And regarding sa/sei: the pronoun system in Dhannuá is quite "broken". The s- forms appear to have taken over, so while the plural sei appears to be from **seh₂i it is not. (the feminine plural is ''sai''). It's instead poor *toi becoming likened to *seh₂i and thus giving sei. Just in case you wonder about the dative in -d; the Dhannuán dative is technically a mischung of the IE ablative  with its -d, inherited from thematic -ōt, and the true dative in -ōy.
 
I'll fix the weird glossing. I had forgot that demonstrative pronouns were called for, it seems. It's obvious that's what should be there. xD ANyhow, regarding Lannazānd, I wouldn't have caught it had you not pointed it out. Doing things purely in the head is quite uhh, brain-hurting after a while. Thanks :D [[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 23:25, 14 November 2012 (CET)

I just appreciate the semantic shift from "conjoin" to "twist"... :P And 'tis completely understandable with a dative derived from an ablative. The cases are a bit different to those of Attian - ''agentive'', ''patientive'', ''instrumental'' and ''locative''. It is sometimes difficult to handle so few and odd cases - I miss the old school Indo-European ones... :( [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   21:53, 15 November 2012 (CET)

== Hano ==

The [[Hano|page]] is currently marked and risks deletion for "Patent nonsense". Isn't that a tad harsh and incorrect? I mean, I do not see in which world 
:''“Hano includes three grammatical numbers: singular, dual and plural, of which dual exists only in personal pronouns.''
:''It has three noun classes: concrete animate, concrete inanimate and abstract. All nouns are plural by default and the singular is marked by adding a suffix to the end of the noun”'' 

would be classified as gibberish. I concede the page being quite incomplete and relatively inactive (last edit by author was back in November) but I feel strongly that section G.1 is not applicable here for which I have reverted your edit.

Excellent, it attracted attention. No need to be so overly formal. I'm fully aware of the content, extent and significance of the policy, as I wrote it myself. The reason I put the indeed erroneous message at the top of the article was to attract a fellow user's attention, as well as the policy lacking coverage. The article of [[Hano]] seems to be experiencing some sort of technical error, and the complete content is displaced to the left.

As you merely contested my application of G:1 on the page, I presume you did not notice? [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   21:15, 12 December 2012 (CET)


''Weird.'' I am not seeing any content displacement to the left. The only thing that is left-shifted as far as I can see is the Language-info bar, which appears to be a common error/minor nuisance when dealing with content imported from wikkii using that specific format. I apologise if my tone came off as cold. At times, I may express myself in ways which may be seen as very formal by some, something for which I have no way of dealing with presently. It just happens. Then again, I presume there is a measurable amount of compensation when I indulge in smiley usage and/or "LOLZ". On another point, have you been studying guerilla marketing or something? ;-). So yeah, I did not notice any severe content displacement. I am currently using Version 23.0.1271.95 of Google Chrome on Windows 7. As this is a WebKit-based renderer, it is possible that the displacement issue is not present in my browser. What are you using?

I have no problem with formality whatsoever, I just considered it uncalled for. I am extremely sensitive to tone and register in both writing and speech, so the fault is partly mine. Guerilla marketing, how do you figure? XP

''Odd''. I am currently using version 23.0.1271.95 m of Google Chrome as well, and I experience the layout error both here and on Firefox. Even though I'd deem it unimportant, I too use Windows 7.

==Waahlis' Swedish lesson I==

TOEFL? XD Ironically, yes! Even though interest for languages other than English is cool at best, a fair amount seem to be conlanging. It probably has to do with Swedish artistic freedom. :/ Especially since Swedes' knowledge of grammar is close to non-existent. Education in grammar was almost completely forsaken during the 70-ies and 80-ies, and most people don't know what a subject is, nor what linguistics is... :/

Also, welcome to''' Waahlis' Swedish lesson I''' - please be seated and I will tell you a few things a bout the definite article in Swedish!
*Swedish has 2 independent definite articles, one neuter and one uter (common) - ''det'' and ''den''. The definite articles more or less correspond to that of Italian, Spanish and English.
*However, there is more to it - as you probably know, there are two enclitic articles as well, ''-et'' and ''-en'', both conveying the same meaning.
Most often, it is rather accepted to use both articles simultaneously, or simply using the enclitic one. However! - Using just the independent definite articles is not advisable in most contexts, especially when the object of a verb, such as ''erhålla'' (tip: Whilst the word is really nice, it is rather formal, using ''få'' works just as well in that context). Thus there are three possible constructions in terms of species (definiteness) in Swedish:
*''Jag ser en man'' - "I see a man"
*''Jag ser mannen'' - "I see the man"
*''Jag ser den mannen'' - "I see the/that man"
*''Jag ser man'' - does {{red|not}} mean "I see a man".
*''Jag ser den man'' - does {{red|not}} mean "I see the man". (Unless you're Danish...)
This means your sentence should be: 
*''"för att erhålla attesten <s>där</s>!"'' 
When to use just the independent article is rather difficult, and most often belongs to more educated speech. It is easier to learn when not to use it! ;)
Alternatively, if you want to say "I want to get '''that''' cerificate" you may say:
*''"för att erhålla den där attesten!"''
In addition, I noticed your comment on Chrysophylax' Dhannuá? ''På svenska ser saker intressanta ut, inte ut intressanta!'' ;) Phrasal verbs, gotta love 'em...!

Oh, my Gods! You have been really³ helpful and gentle with me! I've read it all :) I didn't know that one could say ''{{green|jag ser den mannen}}'', I knew only ''{{green|jag ser mannen}}'' and ''{{green|jag ser denna mann}}'' (quite formal, true?). I wanted to say "that certificate" and I've written ''{{green|den attest där}}'' ahahaha! Once again I've thought a bit "germanly": ''{{green|den där attesten}}'' > ''{{green|den attest där}}'', with a semantical element at the end! So I have seen that I have to use both articles when I want to say "this" or "that": '''{{green|jag slår de där pojkarna}}''' or '''{{green|jag älskar den här flickan}}''', right? In the case of '''{{green|någon/t ser så ut}}''' I understand now that my error could be a case of hypercorrectism: German syntax is the same ('''{{green|jemand/etwas sieht so aus}}'''), so I have unconsciously thought to vary this order!!! 
Thank you very much for your help, I can analyze my mistakes, comprehend and avoid them :)

You know, I just realised that you meant ''{{red|den där}}'' as a demonstrative after writing the wall of text...! -_- After which I felt a bit silly writing it all... And yes ''{{red|denna man}}'' is rather formal, if you're sensitive to that... :P However, Swedish and Norwegian are rather odd in that they like the ''double definiteness''. It is thus also possible (which also is far less formal) to say ''{{red|denna mannen}}'' in most contexts! And yes, both of those sentence are absolutely correct! Although I would probably use the word ''{{red|certifikat}}'' rather than ''{{red|attest}}''!

I'm glad I could help - I don't get the chance very often... :P And it's nice to have someone to discuss these things with! You've been very tolerant with my ranting and do have a sense of humour!

¡Va bien, gracias! Ça va chez toi? :) 

Solamente necesito coregir una cosa:
* ''{{green|Den store mannen}}'' > ''{{green|Mannen är stor}}'' ({{red|Nicht der große Mann}}...!) ;)

No estoy seguro que completamente entiendo tu pregunta... ¿Querrías reformularla? Sin embargo, I'll shoot in the dark.
En sueco, el artículo independiente y el enclítico se llaman "artículos". Voy a presumir que quisiste decir el artículo independiente. Por que no entiendo tu pregunta, voy a describir la sístema de adjetivos en sueco totalmente.

››› Entonces, si eligimos un adjetivo, por ejemplo ''{{green|stor}}''. Primeramente, el adjetivo se declina a '''cuatro''' géneros. Normalmente, sueco tiene dos géneros (neutro y utro/real), pero solamente aplica a sustantivos... Los adjetivos tienen los géneros masculino, femenino, neutro y utro. Masculino y femenino son géneros reales, y se use con pronombres y hombres. La forma feminina es idéntico de la forma utra, y todas las formas plurales coinciden y son idénticas.
* ''{{green|Den stora kvinnan}}''
* ''{{green|Den store mannen}}''
* ''{{green|Den stora handen}}'' 
* ''{{green|Det stora bordet}}''
* ''{{green|De stora kvinnorna/männen/händerna/borden}}''


››› Adjetivos son dependientes del género, pero también sintaxis. 

Adjetivos '''atributivos''' son adjetivos en que precede un sintagma nominal, y se declinan diferente si es definito o indefinito:
En el indefinito, no hay distinción entre de masculino y femenino.
* ''{{green|En stor kvinna}}'' -  ''{{green|Den stora kvinnan}}''
* ''{{green|En stor man}}'' -  ''{{green|Den store mannen}}''
* ''{{green|En stor hand}}'' -  ''{{green|Den stora handen}}'' 
* ''{{green|Ett stort bord}}'' - ''{{green|Det stora bordet}}''
* ''{{green|Flera stora kvinnor/män/händer/bord}}'' - ''{{green|De stora kvinnorna/männen/händerna/borden}}''
Es '''obligatorio''' usar el artículo independiente (indefinito o definito), si el frase es episódico. En frases gnómicos en el plural; "mujeres grandes se encantan a hombres grandes" [sic...], se puede omitir pronombres indefinitos (''flera, många'').
* ''{{green|Stora kvinnor gillar stora män}}''

Adjetivos '''predicativos''' son adjetivos conectados con el sustantivo por un verbo copulativo. La declinación predicative es el mismo como el indefinito atributivo, y solamente hay does géneros. En sintagmas predicativos, el sustantivo siempre es definitivo (si no es gnómico).
* ''{{green|Kvinnan är stor}}''
* ''{{green|Mannen är stor}}''
* ''{{green|Handen är stor}}'' 
* ''{{green|Bordet är stort}}''
* ''{{green|Kvinnorna/männen/händerna/borden är stora}}''

››› '''Sumario'''
*Cuatro géneros (masculino, femenino, neutro y utro) en oraciones '''atributivos y indefinitos'''.
*Dos géneros en (neutro y utro) en oraciones '''predicativos'''
*Ningún género en el plural.
*Siempre usa los artículos definitivos y independientes.
**Frases gnómicos/genéricos son un excepción.

Thank you! ¡Gracias! Danke! Tack så mycket! You all have been so gentle to me :) The prof. had effectively said that ''{{green|store/a}}'' can be used with real masculine gender nouns and that ''{{green|store}}'' is more formal than ''{{green|stora}}'' in this case, and that the last form is more used and spread. As always I compare Swedish to German and I've noticed that in German I don't decline the adjective in the predicative position, whereas I've seen that in Swedish I've to do it (even if I can only use common or neuter gender).
I didn't understand this matter :)
If the noun is not determined (I mean there aren't neither the independent article nor the enclitic one), then I have to use the "strong declension" of adjective (Swedish ''{{green|-Ø; -t; -a (plural)}}'', German ''{{blue|-er; -e; -es; -e (plural)}}'':

* ''{{green|(Ett) lit'''et''' barn}}'' = ''{{blue|(Ein) klein'''es''' Kind}}'',

if the noun is determined, then I have to use the "weak declension" of adjective (Swedish ''{{green|-e; -a}}'', German ''{{blue|-e}}''):

* ''{{green|Den lill'''a''' barnet}}'' = ''{{blue|Das klein'''e''' Kind}}.

In the predicative form ''{{green|Barnet är lit'''et'''}}'', '''{{green|barn''et''}}''' is determined, because there is the enclitic article, but I decline the adjective using the strong declension, as if it were referred to a not determined noun, whereas in German I say ''{{blue|Das Kind ist klein}}'', in this case I don't use the declension at all!
Therefore I have asked you this thing, I just didn't understand why in Swedish I have to use in any case the adjective declension if in a higher inflected language as German I don't have to use it in the predicative position :)

Because we are better than germans :P [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 21:33, 9 January 2013 (CET)

Because Swedish is more irregular than German. Then I understand what you mean, which wasn't obvious from the message! :P Well for the reason, you'll have to recall the underlying causes of inflection - German has preserved a gender inflection in both its nouns and adjectives - Swedish gender is a later construction with the enclitic articles ''-en'' and ''-et''. Only the masculine and plural are remains of our proper gender system. (Also, {{green|klar}} in Swedish means either ''transparent'' or ''done'', use {{green|tydlig}} instead! ;)) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   21:43, 9 January 2013 (CET)


Ahahahah! So: ''{{green|för vi är bättre än tyskar}}'', have I translated right, Zelos? :P Ahahahah, I know it seems strange, but I've begun to laugh as I've read your answer and I'm still doing it!!!
I've understood, Wåhlis :) All this is most interesting :) As I've studied Icelandic I've noticed that the enclitic article comes from the ancient demonstrative '''{{purple|hinn, hin, hitt}}''': 

* ''{{purple|Hestur'''inn''' er skjótur}}'' > ''{{green|Hästen är snabb}}'';
* ''{{purple|Drottning'''in''' er fögur}}'' > ''{{green|Drottningen är vacker}}'';
* ''{{purple|Dýr'''ið''' er tamið}}'' > ''{{green|Djuret är tämjt}}.

Interesting, isn't it? Do you know that this has happened in Romanian too?

* ''{{red|Theatrum illum}}'' > ''{{orange|Teatru'''l'''}}'' (undet. ''{{orange|teatru}}'');
* ''{{red|Seram illam}}'' > ''{{orange|Sear'''a'''}} (undet. ''{{orange|seară}}'').

It is the only Romanic language that behaves this way that I know :) [[File:Llyn.png|35px|link=User:Llyn]] '''[[User talk:Llyn|<span style="color: Green;">Llyn</span>]]'''   22:52, 10 January 2013 (CET)

Goodie. On another note; I've migrated the website server to another platform which let me activate a php cache system. This should improve the loading speed of the website :D It has been a bit too slow.

Java? Uh. Why would we want Java? Also, java applets are known for being extremely annoying with their signing and all. Why not use HTML5?

:Ah, that's javascript as far as I know. It seems quite complex though to move that which is why I'm not completely sure on how to do it. We already have JS support on the website and all and support for gadgets (I think). So it should just be about copying the correct things. Perhaps someone on wiktionary could be kind enough to explain how to port it…  [[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 17:59, 9 January 2013 (CET)

Actually, I never noted the site as slow... :p On the technical stuff, I'll shut up. If you come into an argument with someone, maybe I'll be useful. :/ Firstly however, you should try fixing the navframe collapsible problem!

I think it has do to with a logical error as in you can't hide the frame (collapse it) since it'll be invisible but if you hide the content you can't see the expand thingy… ahhh, I don't know. MediaWiki updated and made the old ways of collapsing stuff obsolete and now I'm sad.
