@-sche, Metaknowledge We have the northern, western and central variants as languages, as well as a couple of other Subanen/Subanon/Subanuns. Someone manually put Pagadian into Category:Category:Cebuano terms derived from Eastern Subanen, which causes an error. Ethnologue recognizes an Eastern Subanen language and even assigns a code sfe. Should this exist on Wiktionary? Benwing2 (talk) 03:52, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- I knew this language name/code seemed vaguely familiar to me, and after poking around I find that it's because I noticed we were missing it a few years ago, but I didn't have time/resources to look into whether we should add it (which isn't a helpful comment, I realize). Wikipedia has little to say about it; the one innovation they mention it has is shared with several other Subanens. What little I see on Google Books suggests Eastern Subanun is a more common spelling for the ethnic group; I see little mention of the lect under any spelling. It's hard to draw firm conclusions, but on the face of it I don't see why we're missing the code (it indeed seems to be one of the major dialects / dialect clusters). - -sche (discuss) 08:06, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- Added as "Eastern Subanun", the most common spelling for this particular one AFAICT (different Subanens/Subanons use E or O instead). - -sche (discuss) 20:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
