Take the Germanic languages here. According to linguists including Robert Hinderling, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish (also Slovak and Czech) are more closely related than Bavarian and Alemannic are to "Standardgerman". But only 4 languages are listed.
If we follow ISO-639-3, we must at least split off Bairisch and Alemannic, or even "Platt" in northern Germany.
"German" today refers to "Standard German" in Germany, of which Bairisch is NOT a part.
You can call Bavarian and Alemannic Germanic, but not "Deutsch".
Or do we simply follow Politics and assign Language to one but not the other?
It could be a improvement when we differ between Low and Uppergerman. 320luca ( talk) 18:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Two IP editors (possibly one) keep separating Serbo-Croatian into Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin in the above mentioned section of the article, refusing to gather consensus for their disputed edits here on the talk page beforehand. I kindly request the latest such edit is self-reverted to the status quo version of the article. I'm not in the least touched by their edit summary, it only displays what kind of an editor we're dealing with here. – Vipz ( talk) 21:27, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

As far as I can tell from googling for sources, the 12 million figure for Arabs in Europe is actually the number of Muslims in Europe. While there's certainly a lot of overlap between those communities, several of the biggest Muslim countries aren't Arab countries, most significantly Turkey, Pakistan and Iran. Not to mention a whole host of smaller nations like Azerbaijan, Kazahkstan, etc. I'm going to change this field to "unknown." Tserton ( talk) 18:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
