[edit] Translation in Progress

I am in the progress of translating this article from the spanish wikipedia. Over there it was featured article and it rather long.Maunus 07:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, very good. You could also considering nominating it for translation collaboration at WP:SPATRA, who helped out in the translation of the Mesoamerica article from its spanish wiki featured equivalent. But they only do an article at a time, and 'vote' on which one to do next from a pool of candidates, so it might take a while.--cjllw | TALK 13:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

It had already been nominated. Lagringa 20:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger propose with Mixtecan language

I think the Mixtecan language article should be merged with this one. Any objections? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maunus (talk • contribs) 16 August 2006.

Don't see any particular problem with that.--cjllw | TALK 00:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Definitely agree. Lagringa 20:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improvement suggestions of coverance of Mixtecan languages

This page should be divided, I believe, into two: one for Mixtec languages proper and one for Mixtecan languages. Or else the discussion needs to be tightened up considerably. And the linguistic variation within Mixtec languages proper is not well represented in the current article. Stevemarlett 11:31, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I think first steps should be taken to improve the present article. Perhaps with a thorough definition of the different levels of "mixtec" and "mixtecan". Then maybe make a separate Mixtec languages article. This article is not among our best ones, that is for sure. Anything you can do to improve it will be well received.Maunus 12:12, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] codes

Does anyone know how to edit the info box to let people know there are ISO 639 codes?--Tatapelu 20:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tatapelu, the instructions for editing the infobox may be found here. When editing the article, you just need to add the appropriate iso parameter(s) with their values.--cjllw | TALK 00:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think all of those iso-codes should go in the infobox it will be a mile long.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 07:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
