Untitled[edit]

Is anybody concerned that there's incorrect/misleading information on this page? For starters, Benedict and Ostapirat have never to my knowledge proposed a connection with Austric (in fact, Benedict has rejected Austric on at least one occasion). The information is also confusingly presented...For example, this is supposed to be a page about Austro-Tai and there's all sorts of stuff about Sagart's 'Sino-Tibetan-Austronesian'.

Since the argument is at this stage highly hypothetical (although recent advances make the argument much more solid), I suggest that the page could greatly benefit from shortening the amount of material on the page (to maybe one or two key examples) while at the same time increasing the length of the bibliography so that the interested reader can see for themselves how the discussion of this very interesting topic is unfolding right now.

This is a linguistic article[edit]

This article is on a linguistic family. Genetic and anthropological evidence is not relevant to a discussion of linguistic relationships. --Taivo (talk) 03:35, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, now moved to Austro-Tai peoples. — Stevey7788 (talk) 10:33, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00104725
    Triggered by \bhalshs\.archives-ouvertes\.fr on the global blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 15:24, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 07:23, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Before reverting Japonic back into the article...[edit]

Note that Benedict's book came out in the 1990s. Further people developing the Austro-Tai theory afterwards (Sagart, Ostapirat, Norquest, Miyake, etc.) have not included Japonic in their Austro-Tai discussions, implying that it's generally not accepted as part of the core theory. Blench (2008) even directly notes the lack of acceptance of Benedict's addition of Japonic by others. Benedict's inclusion of Japonic can be noted elsewhere in the article, however.

Removal of the language tree that includes Japanese within Austro-Tai[edit]

As being pointed out in an earlier section above, Japanese is unrelated to Austro-Tai. Therefore, the language tree which includes Japanese within Austro-Tai has to be removed. 748920A45483 (talk) 11:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is basically a lie and POV. It was said that there is no actuall supporting source that clearly link Japanese to austro tai, bit there are several proposals that support a relation between japanese, tai kadai, austronesian or both. The language tree is sourced by benedict. 212.95.8.171 (talk) 09:36, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
