From what I understand of Aini, it's more of a mixed language than a true Turkic language. The vocabulary is almost all Persian, but the grammar is Turkic. Should we change the classification to Mixed Language? Straughn 16:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
There is a section that says Aini is a secret language. I doubt this is true. Can someone verify this?
According to Lars Johansson (pg 21-22, ref in article), Aynu is not a mixed language. ( Taivo ( talk) 20:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC))
The article says, "Äynu numerals are borrowed from Persian". Does this mean they actually use the Persian variant of the Eastern Arabic numerals (۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹)? Or is it just that the names of the numbers were adapted from the Persian words? - dcljr ( talk) 05:30, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
The article says, "Some linguists call it a mixed language, having a mostly Turkic grammar, essentially Uyghur, but a mainly Iranian vocabulary.", meaning that Äynu is a Karluk language, instead of Siberian as Glottolog states.
Furthermore, the Uyghur language article states: "It is closely related to Äynu, Lop, Ili Turki, the extinct language Chagatay (the East Karluk languages), and more distantly to Uzbek (which is West Karluk)." Sakaiberian ( talk) 21:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
