Saka and Scythian are different Iranian languages. azalea_pomp
- See Scythian languages. Cheers, cab 09:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- The problem is that the Scythian languages (Scythian, Sarmatian, Alanian, and Ossetian) are different from Saka (Khotanese, etc.). There is no reason they should share a page. Check any source on Iranian languages such as the Linguarum Irancarium, etc. Yes, I know that Saka is often called Scythian, but to be precise Saka is restricted to Khotanese as not to be confused with the western Scythian languages. azalea_pomp
- Oh sorry, there used to be a (stub) page here, didn't realise that someone had gone and redirected it. Will work on it when I get a chance. cab 06:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
