Tavringer?

The term Tavringer [1] seems to me to be a synonym for Scandoromany. Hence the redirect I recently created. Or am I off the mark here? —Zalktis (talk) 07:53, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move: Rename to "Scandoromani"?

There does not seem to be any legitimisation of the spelling "Scandoromany" in the scholarly literature. Meanwhile, a Google search for "Scandoromany" reveals that most mentions point to text mirrored from Wikipedia. I therefore suggest that the article be renamed simply Scandoromani, and that the questionable alternate spelling be removed until a WP:RS for its specific use (NB! not just "Romany", but "Scandoromany") be found. —Zalktis (talk) 12:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


kj/tj

While it is obviously not a major point, the "kj/tj" sound is not technically equivalent to English "ch" (in Norwegian, that would be "tsj", not sure about Swedish). The "kj/tj" sound does not exist in English to the best of my knowledge, but is equivalent to German "ch", as in "München" or "nicht".

Admittedly, the previous version was highly approximate (although kj- in some Norwegian dialects and tj- in some forms of Swedish is pronounced similar to ch- in English "church"). To clarify (?) the situation, I've added the IPA symbols instead. —Zalktis (talk) 09:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
