[edit] Mother tongues
Maybe it's too personal a question, but how come you have 3 native tongues?--Tamas 19:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I have 3 mothers :) No, actually, I was born half Szekely half Hungarian in Romania, and I'm living in France since quite some time now. So technically Hungarian is my mother tongue, but in reality I am thinking in both - or a mix of - these three languages. And since I understood the Wikipedia:Babel definition of native tongue as "comparable to a native speaker", i put them all.. If I'm to look at the full half of the glass, I'd say, one must have quite fine ears to tell I have a non-native accent in any of my languages. :) Or, to look at the empty half, I'd say I don't really master any of those at a perfect native speaker level. Hungarian education was brief and stopped too early (since my fourth grade Hungarian classes were replaced by Romanian - as one of the presents of the Ceausescu regime of the time), Romanian came in for some time in the middle, and French arrived late. So, any suggestion to change the list? Or maybe propose changing the template? Akiss 21:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hungarian versions of place names in articles pertaining to Romania
Hi! There is a bit of a controversy evolving about the Hungarian versions of place names in articles pertaining to Romania. Criztu has started to delete the Hungarian (and in one case, German) variants of place names from the following articles, claiming that they were irrelevant: (Harghita, Covasna_(county), Cluj). I feel this move is unjustified. I would appreciate if you could have a look at the problem and give your opinion on Talk:Harghita.--Tamas 28 June 2005 15:22 (UTC)
[edit] Szekely
In response to your question, the Category:Eurasian nomads contains many people who were historically nomadic (such as the Buglars) but who have since settled. The article doesn't discuss their nomadic history in great length but it does mention it. I would be happy to add to that section of the article when time permits. --Briangotts 8 July 2005 14:19 (UTC)
[edit] Talk:Harghita
You might want to take a look at how I dealt with this: I just reformatted his comments so that it was clear where they fit in (this is how he probably should have formatted them in the first place). This comes up a lot: a lot of people only have a limited grasp of wikisyntax. -- Jmabel | Talk 17:59, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
