Hi! It would be great if somebody will translate the article ´Võro language´ to his own language and add to his language Wikipedia. I mean especially our neighbours: finns (hei suomalaiset suomentakaa se artikkeli lähisukukielestänne!!) latvians (labdien!), swedes, russians! -Võrolang 10:24, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The edition from 20. January is made by me. --Võrolang 16:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] language codes

I removed the "proposed" language codes from the infobox, because the language is currently covered by already-existing codes, which should be there for those who need the refererence. Ethnologue explicitly states "Vôru" to be a dialect of Estonian, so I couldn't do anything about that, but I was charitable and used the ISO code "fiu" (Finno-Ugric, other) instead of "et/est" (Estonian). The proposed Võro-specific language codes can be added back later if and after ISO or Ethnologue officially accept them. —Muke Tever 20:58, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You do realize that what Ethnologue says is not sacred chapter and verse, and just because they say something does not make it fact in and of itself. Of course, then, much of the criticism of Ethnologue has been on their being apparently too willing to declare things as independent languages than the opposite, but even still, that alone does question the idea of Ethnologue's judgements being fixed truths unto themselves. -Travis 8:10, 16 Apr 2006 (UTC)
