Is it a tonal language? The article should mention this.Badagnani07:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone here has any Herero proficiency, please take a look at this proposal and at the small Herero encyclopedia itself to see what should be done with this wikipedia (keep it or delete it.) Keeping it implies more than a sentimental commitment ("it would be nice to have a wikipedia in every language ...") but also that it can be something more than a 10 or 20-article spam and vandalism trap and not just "someday" but in the here and now.

Please do not respond here but rather at that discussion (meta:Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Herero Wikipedia). --A. B.^(talk)12:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dothese edits represent nonsense? What is "Wikiherero"?Badagnani09:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have temporarily reverted these edits pending further discussion. Perhaps these edits are correct in some manner but more importantly:

• There are no reliable sources cited that meet the requirements ofWP:RS.
• With 50 to 100 speakers, it's unclear that this language would meet the requirements ofWP:NN.
• The infobox that was added described aconstructed language ("conlang") based in part on Turkish and English:

{{Infobox Language

|name=Wikiherero Linguak

|caption=Symbol

|image=[[Image:wikihererolinguak.jpg|100px|center|Symbol]]

|creator=Kenan Tugay Koç

|setting=Improve to [[Herero language]] in Otsiherero Wikipedia

|speakers=50-100 people

|family=[[constructed language]], combining elements of the subgenres [[personal language]], [[international auxiliary language]] and [[logical language]] simultaneously

|posteriori=[[a posteriori language]], with elements of [[English language|English]], [[Turkish language|Turkish]]}}

This articleis missing information about orthography and phonology. Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on thetalk page.

The internal capitalization in particular is very interesting. --Beland (talk)03:48, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
