Talk:Khoisan languages/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To be added to the article:

  1. References/Bibliography (made a start)
  2. Internal classification (this is at List of Khoisan languages and perhaps should be merged --kwami 20:54, 2005 August 31 (UTC))
    • Hadza (isolate)
    • Sandawe (isolate)
    • South African Khoisan [not known to be a valid genetic node]
      • Northern (Ju) [essentially an isolate]
      • Central (Khoe)
      • Southern (!Ui-Taa)
      • Isolate (=Hõã) [unclassified, not an isolate]
      • Undetermined (probably Central) (Kwadi)
  3. Khoisan research
  4. An map of the actual situation would be cool, as well as a map of their distribution in early colonial times (similar to the one in Güldemann & Vossen 2000) - look here, but they are all in Russian. If you like some of them I'll try to find time to translate it.Koryakov Yuri 13:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  5. Some linguistic features (comparative, showing the wild divergency of the Khoisan languages) — more than the celebrated clicks.
  6. Khoisan language articles on Wikipedia in general need to follow Ethnologue less closely; rather, they should be based on solid published sources. The naming of Ethnologue, for one, is by no means clear, nor consistent, nor widely used (see Treis 1998 for a nice overview).
