The relatedness of the Fula language to the Serer language.

"Fula is related to Serer language" [1] all attempts to mention this on this articled were permanently deleted. Whoever is making claims in the Serer language article about the relatedness of Serer and Fula should also mention that in the Fula language article. I see no justifiable reason why the relatedness of the two languages is mentioned by the same author in the Serer language article but totally left out and permanently deleted every time it is mentioned in the Fula language article.

Undue section template on infobox

This template has been added in the infobox. The reason being the infobox suggests some sort of superiority of one language over another. Attempts to resolve this issue has been permanently deleted. Tamsier (talk) 17:01, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

U have placed an inappropriate template. Please familiarize yourself with Wiki template codes. You completely messed up the page. And always use the talk page to explain the nature of the Undue section. (with SOURCES) It is not a case of your say-so. If the thing is a problem explain why here. No need to edit war with experienced editors. I have corrected the error and put back your NPOV notice. You will however have to STATE why that notice was placed on the article. What is wrong with this page, if you cannot do so then the tags will have to be removed. Do not put tags for sections in info box.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 18:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Noun classes & comment on standards

Couple of items on the form of the class indicators, and quick comment re future of standards for languages like Fula. First, removed the leading apostrophe from the "o" since that is never used in writing. By convention, initial glottals (even if pronounced as such) in Fula are never marked. Second, last I checked, it was general usage not to use the "eng" before "g" for the prenasalized form, such that one would write "ng-" rather than "ŋg." Variant spellings of geminate forms sometimes use the eng before the "ng" per jaŋngude rather than the more common janngude (to read, study). I'm beginning to think that there may be utility in a new regional conference on updating orthography standards for cross-border languages to facilitate use of language data (for development of apps etc. in the languages). Minor differences such as these crop up more or less organically for various reasons, but arguably do more harm for regional use of regional languages like Fula, than good.--A12n (talk) 05:21, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
