10:2310:23, 14 June 2021 diff hist −44‎ Proto-Italic language ‎ →‎Phonology: Unnecessary row. /l/ is also an approximant. (Otherwise put "semivowel" instead of "approximant", but for what?)

21:0421:04, 12 June 2021 diff hist +8‎ Eskaleut languages ‎ →‎Notable features: not in greenlandic, where voice in fricatives does vary but is allophonic

13:2613:26, 11 June 2021 diff hist −13‎ Quechuan languages ‎ →‎Consonants: if post-alveolar and palatal can be in one column, then uvular and glottal can be in one column as well. same thing and more economic. (In fact, the rhotic could also be moved to the free spot above, but I leave it at that.) Tag: Reverted

23:2523:25, 8 June 2021 diff hist −21‎ Etruscan language ‎ →‎Core vocabulary Tag: Reverted
23:2123:21, 8 June 2021 diff hist −39‎ Etruscan language ‎ →‎Borrowings from Etruscan: This word doesn't exist in Greek. It is only found in the Gospel as a transcription of the Aramaic phrase "talitha qum(i)". Tag: Reverted
20:5320:53, 8 June 2021 diff hist +244‎ Etruscan language ‎ →‎Voiced stops missing
20:4520:45, 8 June 2021 diff hist +31‎ Etruscan language ‎ →‎Complex consonant clusters: Certainly most likely for these, but fricatives (and to some degree even stops) are capable of being syllabic, too.

20:3520:35, 7 June 2021 diff hist +7‎ Iberian language ‎ →‎Vowels: What's the evidence for Iberian "a" being front?
20:3420:34, 7 June 2021 diff hist +5‎ Iberian language ‎ →‎Vowels: This system only developed late in Spanish. Both Portuguese and Catalan (which latter is spoken right where Iberian was spoken) retain the Vulgar Latin 7-vowel system.
16:0916:09, 7 June 2021 diff hist +376‎ Talk:J. C. Leyendecker ‎ →‎Gay

20:5620:56, 2 June 2021 diff hist −20‎ Baltic languages ‎ →‎Prehistory and history: Unsourced and wrong. The Prussians were conquered and subdued, yes, but "eradication and flight" gives a very wrong about why Old Prussian died out. Since the 15th century, the Prussians had the same rights as the Germans. The language simply gave way over the course of time to the dominant idiom, as has been the case with so many other languages throughout history.

00:2800:28, 7 May 2021 diff hist +298‎ Ottar Grønvik ‎ →‎Bibliography: The original titles are in correct German orthography (I checked), hence all of these are lower case. Also added and ameliorated translations.

23:5823:58, 6 May 2021 diff hist −42‎ Gothic language ‎ →‎Fricatives: Unless there's a clear source for this claim, it seems highly unlikely. First of all, Ulfilas made a point to use the special letter. And then [x] was already a common sound in Gothic, so simply using it in different positions should not pose a great problem (just as Germans generally find it easy to use [x] in positions where it doesn't occur in German).

11:4711:47, 25 April 2021 diff hist +21‎ Tunisian Arabic ‎ →‎Vowels: I meant AA (Algerian Arabic) and MA (Moroccan Arabic), of course.
11:4511:45, 25 April 2021 diff hist −11‎ Tunisian Arabic ‎ →‎Vowels: The analyses are both entirely "correct" as they both correctly explain the phonology of Tunisian Arabic. It's not about being correct, it's about which analysis you find more useful. The comparison with other dialects may be a point that makes the first analysis preferable. (Though it would of course also be possible to state that AG and MG simply have two more vowel phonemes /e/ and /o/.)
