Moksha language and Erzya language are separate literary languages, that's why the plural form Mordvin languages has been used.--Termer (talk) 16:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
If anybody could help out with the Russian spelling of the official term "Mordivskie yazyki", that would be great--Termer (talk) 01:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
This is not an official term in Russian but just a name for languages "subgroup" always used in plural 2 million returns in yandex.ru. Russian spelling is Template:Lang-ru: Template:Lang-ru and Template:Lang-ru e.g. Грамматика мордовских (мокшанского и эрзянского) языков, Саранск, 1962 Previuosly both in the form Template:Lang-ru and Template:Lang-ru
Мордовские языки, мокша-мордовский (мокшанский) и эрзя-мордовский (эрзянский), языки мордовского населения (см. Мордва) Мордовской АССР, Башкирской АССР, Татарской АССР, Чувашской АССР, Горьковской, Оренбургской, Пензенской и некоторых других областей BSE - Big Soviet Dictionary
If somebody is really (not jokingly) intends to merge Mokshan and Erzyan languages, pls explain why have not be merged yet Khanty language and Mansi language to Yugra. Why not to merge Karachai and Circassian to Karachaycircassians, Kabardins and Balkars to Kabardinbalkars? Last time this official initiative merging Erzya and Moksha into mystic Mordvin failed in 1970 and somebody used the term "languacide". This tag on merging is languacide too. --Numulunj pilgae 12:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
