forgive my cultural ignorance, but what the hell is that number 7 doing in there? how do you pronounce it? is this for real? these aren't sarcastic questions, i really want to know. -Taco325i 20:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's a glottal stop, and very common in Salishan and certain other languages in the Pacific Northwest; and occuring in local English renderings of their names/words, too; sometimes a version that looks like a question mark without the period is used, but generally in Salishan languages the 7 is used or will suffice. See Sḵwxwú7mesh language and Sḵwxwú7mesh; and the talk page at the latter article; I had a look around, and non-standard, non-English characters are used for Polish, Czech, Hungarian etc so although "Nooksack language" might have been an OK title, there's some "linguistically-correct" stuff already afoot throughout Wiki; Sḵwxwú7mesh language and Sḵwxwú7mesh were created with those titles after consulting with User:OldManRivers, who is Sḵwxwú7mesh himself, and there are other examples of non-standard characters in BC First Nations sites, though not all {see where the St'at'imc and Sto:lo redirects go, for instance...).Skookum1 20:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
