Talk:Lakh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

laksha not to be confused with lakshya (goal).


The Sinhala word for lakh is "lakshaya" meaning 100,000 (Sinhala is the main language of Sri Lanka)


[edit] what's up with the confusing tag?

I read the article (ran across the word in an Indian novel a few years ago, figured out what it meant from the context, came to look it up here because I was discussing it with a friend)...and found it perfectly clear and understandable. I vote we remove the tag. -jackbrown

I think it was confusing and gave it a try to disentangle. The problem is the discussion of "spelling" variants, which really are irrelevant English transliteration variants mixed with variants of the actual word. The parenthesis about laksha was just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to elaborate further, but what I did takes care of the tag and I removed it. Gschadow 15:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I see no jargon. I vote for removing the tag --Petethewhistle (talk) 17:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The tag was added when the article was full of jargon. It has since been improved, the tag can be removed. Ekantik talk 21:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
