06:15, 11 November 2005 (UTC) Without any content at the endpoints there seems little point in forcing us to drill four levels deep just to find out what the names of the languages are. Please consolidate this tree of articles into one. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.41.24.55 ( talk • contribs) .
The Chadic pages are missing so much info on languages. I think I will create a List of Chadic languages soon.

Too many of these language articles are wandering off the path into issues of genetics. If there is information on the genetics of a physical group (not a linguistic group), then that information needs to be in a separate article, not in a linguistics article as if there is some actual connection between the two.

I requested the page protection, but am obviously unhappy with the result. Peer reviewed scientific studies specifically discussing Chadic speakers have been removed from the article with no logical reason given. Trying for consensus is not the proper approach, as the voiced opinion that such studies are non-linguistic clutter is of no value, and simply a negative reaction with no foundation.
The title of this article is Chadic languages, and these studies, as well as Haplogroup R1b (Y-DNA), mention them and Chadic speakers at length. As I read no guideline stating that only linguistic studies have a place here, the removal of these genetic studies is against general Wikipedia policy.

According to this very site, not a single Chadic language is spoken in Chad. So:
1. Why are they called Chadic languages when they are spoken by large numbers of native speakers outside of Chad and neglible numbers in Chad? 2. (More important to Wikipedia) why does this article claim that they are spoken in Chad? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.243.184.156 ( talk) 17:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
You can't use a WP article as a ref. That article needs to be fixed. Ethn. lists 54 Chadic languages in Chad. — kwami ( talk) 04:29, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Every single part of the Origin section of this page needs sources. How can this be acceptable? 70.190.164.200 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:24, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
