Merging Language-Discussions

[Edinev]

I think there are to many languages in the language discussion, you are able to merge some of them:

 

 

Marked with Yellow = Merge

 

Austrian and German can be m erged as German

Indian and  Indonesian can be merged (I believe I've read that the language is pretty similair) as _____

apanese   and  Korean can be merged (I believe I've read that the language is pretty similair) as _____

Spanish  and Poruguese can be merged as Spanish

Serbian is not supposed to be an external discussion since it is linked to Balkan

Swedish and Norwegian should be merged as Scandinavian

 

Also Moderators should be like.. What is it called, made (xD)?, for the Language discussions. Regulair admins who know English / Polish have no idea of what is going on. I'm able to Moderate the Balkan (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian) and Scandinavian (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) part if needed.

 

Note: If for instance the Japanese and Korean aren't similair to eachother at all, don't blame me. It's completely different from what I know and I can only trust webpages on this one.

same counts for belgium and holland.we both speak dutch.(well south of belgium french soo they most likly will anyway talk on french forums)

 

its maybe easier to moderate things.

[Edinev]

True true, and maybe add the chinese with japanese and korean as well

Hi, we will wait few more days to see which languages are used. Concerning countries like Austria, Belgium or Switzerland where they speak languages of another country, we had a problem on TeamSpeak where some people wanted to be apart. I prefer to wait e.g. one week to see if these subforums are not used.

 

I also don't think merge Japanese with Korean, Spanish with Portuguese and Swedish and Norwegian is a good idea... That's two differents countries. There was even a war between Japan and Korea because Korea was under the Japanese occupation. 

 

Concerning Indonesian, i received a PM asking if it's possible to create this section. I created it yesterday evening, so we must wait if people which PMed me, will use it.

"I also don't think merge Japanese with Korean," I'm not really into the Korea Japan thing. I don't think we should go after what is going on in the world with the countries, because you're just going after how close the languages are between them, not the relations. Such as Bosnia, Serbian, Croatia don't have "a good past" they are still refered to one discussion zone (Balkan) [Not serbia for some reason, that has to be changed]

 

"Spanish with Portuguese" Pretty close languages, the difference is the Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, but you can't have a discussion for all countries in the world.

 

"Swedish and Norwegian" I live in Sweden myself, I speak fluently Swedish and I can understand both Danish, Norwegian and Swedish without any problems, and no I have not studied Danish or Norwegian. The languages are so close to eachother that I can "survive" in let's say Norway without learning a single Norwegian word.

Indian and  Indonesian can be merged (I believe I've read that the language is pretty similair) as _____

 

Haha.. Too funny.. from where you got this info !!   Similarity in name doesn't make any sense in this case. No offense to you. To your knowledege they both are entirely different. Indian langauges itself consist of more than 4 main stream sub languages like Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu etc.. Even i have seen covoys orgainsed by players from india on ets2c.com sometimes. So i think it's better to leave indian language discussion as is. But if the community is not growing even after a definite period of time there is nothing wrong in merging the community to any other. Again.. No offense meant to you. Cheers

Indian and Indonesian is 2 completely different languages, indonesia uses Bahasa Indonesia or commonly known as the Malay language and Indian language consist of different other languages like for example: Punjabi, Tamil, etc.

[Edinev]

Easy easy easy, "I believe I've read that the language is pretty similair" right, but I get your point, it was just a thought. I think this got me a bit off track (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Indonesians), again, I'm not from the country, I haven't been there, and I just know a few stuff like that they are neihbours. No offence taken

[Salguero]

Wait wait wait... Spanish and Portuguese have to stay separated. (No offense )  Says it a Spanish who doesn't understand what a Portuguese says. (If I read some Portuguese, may i can know the meaning of some words because they are similar)

 

Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian... comes from Latin. At present, they may have similarities, but they are different languages.

 

I remember a forum which had merged Spanish and Portuguese. When a Portugese reply in a Spanish topic (or viceversa) started a discussion about the language, because they could not understand each other.

Indian and Indonesian can not be mergered because it's strongly different (not pretty simmilar) language. Indonesian have Bahasa Indonesia n Indian I'm not sure. So don't be mergered this.

[Buggy]

Indian and  Indonesian can be merged (I believe I've read that the language is pretty similair) as _____

apanese   and  Korean can be merged (I believe I've read that the language is pretty similair) as _____

Spanish  and Poruguese can be merged as Spanish

The mind boggles...

[Craigals]

Spain and Portugal are 2 different countries with different languages even though there may be some Spanish users that can speak Portuguese, what we have to think about is what about those who can only speak Spanish and Vice Versa. These two languages will not be merged

I don't agree, i'm Portuguese and i know that Spanish is different, i think it shouldn't be merged (only for you that are not Portuguese it's sounds completely the same).

Only for you to know, i guess that Portuguese is already "merged" because there are 2 different kinds of Portuguese:

-Portuguese from Portugal

-Portuguese from Brasil

Those 2 languages have many things in common, but Portuguese (Brasil & Portugal) should not be merged with Spanish (in my opinion).

So in my opinion it should stay like this.

[Topo]

Japanese and Korean are two different languages, they can't be merged lol. Is like comparing cyrillic alphabet with latin.

[StuartD]

imo as long as they are properly moderated and they stay active they should be allowed their board.

[Dreamcast]

Japanese and Korean languages are completely different! But I did not see players from Japan. I see players China.
