Talk:Damin

Hello

First thanks for the recover of the non-ascii symbols, could you tell me what I have to do in order not to destroy them. How did you generate them?

Now a question: your wrote

  The Yangkaal of Denham and Forsyth Islands, who spoke the Tangkic
  language Nyangga, also used Demiin, which had the same root words
  as Lardil Demiin but used Nyangga grammar.

where did you find that information? Could you please add a reference. Do you know whether there exist any research articles, grammars or the alike of that language?

PS Are you sure about the name Nyangga??, I just checked. According to my information, the article of Hale and McKnights book, the Tangkic group is formed by Lardil,Yangkaal, Kangkalitha and Kaidadil. Morever Lardil is the odd one there, since they others are mutually comprehensible while Lardil is not. Another important point is that bi or multilinguism was widely distributed, so that's why I thought that the Yangkaal would use Damin vocabulary and Lardil grammar!? Are you really sure of what you corrected, please give a reference
