Talk:Borogardan language
Discussion
Ledgerwright: The statement regarding Borogardan's extinction prior to the 2060s is inaccurate; recent fieldwork by the Central Sarmatian Institute suggests a small enclave in northern Chuvashia maintained fluency until at least 2058. We must revise the timeline in section one and expand the bibliography with the unpublished memoirs of collector Elena Varkov to reflect this nuance per ███████:Neutral Point of View. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 07:59, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
HalvardK: While I have always been cautious about claims of total extinction for minority languages, the current assertion that no speakers existed by 2060 is contradicted by three separate census reports from the Yaroslavian Transitional Government listing twenty individuals who claimed dialectal proficiency. Given that my skepticism now exceeds fifty percent regarding the completeness of these archives, I propose we add a dedicated subsection on the "Post-Imperial Preservation Movement" before expanding to discuss specific loanwords adopted in early 21st-century trade hubs. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 07:59, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
Ledgerwright: Thank you for your detailed response; however, adding a subsection on the preservation movement without primary sources would violate ███████:Verifiability, as many of those twenty individuals listed in the transitional census did not appear in independent academic journals or official linguistic registries until 2064. I suggest we instead focus on integrating the available archival texts from the pre-war era to establish a robust foundation for the article before attempting to reconstruct the history of that specific movement. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 07:59, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
