[edit] East Asian and Caribbean states?
What are Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia doing in this template? I can't find any reference to Indo-Aryan languages spoken there elsewhere on WP. Myanmar says something about Pāli, but that's only a dead liturgical language, not a spoken language for all I can see. Bhutan has a Nepali speaking minority, but apparently without official status. Guyana has an immigrant population group of Indian descent, but Demographics of Guyana lists no Indian languages still being spoken. For Suriname, Demographics of Suriname lists Hindustani as widely spoken, but no information about official status. Same for Trinidad and Tobago. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- You raise some good points. This needs further clarification and some states should be removed. I think only those states with an official language in the Indo-Iranian group should be included. Also, the whole of India does not speak Sanskrit-based languages - there are Dravidian languages such as Tamil. So, there should be a list of those Sanskrit-based languages under India. Also South Ossetia is not an independent country.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 19:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redundent controvercy?
Hummm why are there so many "unofficial" countries listed along with "unofficial" ones?
I have removed the Kurdistan one. Iraqi Kurdistan itself does not claim to be an independent existence. It is just a part of Iraqi federal structure.
