Hi, thanks for contributing to Proto-Celtic language! The change you made is accurate, but in fact the old statement was accurate too. Old Irish clann really was borrowed from Brythonic plant, which in turn was borrowed from Latin planta. If the Irish were cognate with the Latin, it wouldn't have a c; compare Latin palma and Irish lámh "hand", which are cognate. -- Angr/ tɔk tə mi 11:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
If you examine my sources and others carefully you will find anti-intellectualism, which had began a century before, begins to make leaps and bounds before the reign of Theodosius. The uncontrolled fervor of Christianity gives it teeth. It reaches its peak with Theodosius and his death penalty for pagan worship. 16 August 2005 (It didn't work).

As you're currently involved in the deletion debate concerning Novoselsky Valery, I thought I should inform you of the related deletion debate for his "initiative", the Roma Virtual Network: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roma Virtual Network — Psychonaut 18:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
As a Welsh bloke myself I don't get your reasoning here seems like racism to me. So without any nastieness you can presumably explain why English, Scottish, Irish suddenly disappear from the Welsh people article? I am assuming this removal is because of your personal opinion?

OK, I must explain my contributions in Dalmatian language article to avoid further titling as one above. If you take a look at any Dalmatia related article you'll see (unfortunately) a lot of war-editing between Croatian and Italian editors. The point is that a small group of Italian users (mostly anons, their spiritus movens User:Giovanni Giove is banned, User:Cherso is active and believe it or not - Italian fascism POV pusher!; etc) constantly Italianize anything connected to Dalmatia (people, culture, names,...) in the same time erasing anything connected to Croatia and Croats. Mentioned group of Italians doesn't represent general Italian view or POV, actually it seems they are descendents of Italo-Dalmatians who left Dalmatia after WWII, so this way they are trying to solve political problems of their families in the past. One of their favourite actions in Wiki is Italianization of Dalmatian toponyms, no matter what historical periods are in question. Zenanarh ( talk) 09:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dewrad,
I see that you are an expert on the Gaulish language. I am looking for someone to translate a Proto-Germanic text by Gary Taylor to Gaulish (of course, not the original one as that is not possible, but anything close to it would be great) as I am also quite interested what the text would be like in one of the language's closest sister languages. I was hoping you might be willing to help translate it. I would have tried doing it myself if there were any grammars or vocabularies I could use, and ask you to check it instead, but unfortunately there are none. If you don't want to do it, I'd understand. :-) I don't want to waste your time.
The original text in proto-Germanic was: "En mînin hûsê bûwandi mînôn môder andi mînôn fader. Hêr bûwiþi ja mînôn faderz môder. Habu twôz swesterunz ja þrin brôþarunz. Ainôn swester bûwiþi medi hizin sagjê. Ainôn brôþar habaiþi wenô ja sunu. Ja unserôn kôw andi unseranz hundôs bûwandi en hûsê."
My English translation of it is: "In my house live my mother and my father. Here lives also my father's mother*. I have two sisters and three brothers. One sister lives with her husband**. One brother has a lover*** and a son. Also our cow and our dogs live in the house."
*This is obviously the paternal grandmother, but I'd prefer a literal translation of "my father's mother" or "mother of my father" if possible. :) **This implies that she lives outside of "my" house, in the same house that her husband lives in. ***a female lover. May also be "girlfriend", "loved one", "sweetheart", etc.
Thanks in advance!
