Talk:Emilian–Romagnol

The name of this article is inadequate, inasmuch it does not accomplish with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). Emiliano needs to be replaced by Emilian, I don't know Romagnolo. Bye, Bests, --10caart 14:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I never heard so many nonsenses like those created by northern leaguers, whose goal is clearly the breaking of Italy! I imagine that the next step will be the idea that northern dogs belong to a different species than the southern ones..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.51.118.40 (talk) 10:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

enough with nonsense. about the first comment: 1. Emiliano-Romagnolo (also known as Emilian-Romagnolo) is a western neo-latin language (just like other Italian minority languages such as Piedmontese, Lombard and Ligurian), like French, Provençal and Catalan. It is considered as a minority language, structurally separated from Italian by the Ethnologue and by the Red Book on endangered languages of UNESCO.

there is no firm translation of the name of the language (as there is no translation for most of the proper names of Italian cities for instance). so Emiliano-Romagnolo is acceptable.

2. Does the second commenter has anything constructive to say, beside ranting about B.S.? Harvard dude —Preceding comment was added at 02:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

1.) This article needs to list the letters of the dialect, along with their proper pronunciation. I'm not sure that anybody really knows what's the difference between ä and å. 2.) I think that Emiliano-Romagnolo should be changed to an English name, and by having said that, should divide Emiliano-Romagnolo into Emilian and Romagnesian. It sounds a bit crazy probably, but I will not lie. Giacomo DiBenedetto (talk) 19:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Pronounciation

Are the vowels ä, ü, ö, å emntioned in the article pronounced as in the Scandinavian and German languages or do they mark something different? I cannot seem to find it in the article. 193.44.6.146 (talk) 20:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
