Removals

[edit]

Reason for all of the removals:

  • Finnish has no syntactic future tense, only a parasyntactic one. It's not a proper verb tense, even if it is commonly seen as an idiom.
  • "based on" is not used for protolanguages, because Finnish is not "based on" Proto-Finnic.
  • Agricola did not "create Finnish in 1543", so the creator and inception tags are completely wrong here.
  • The video is of low quality and not a proper representation of how Finnish sounds in reality. The speaker has lived in the US for many years according to her own words and it shows. Having no video is better than having that one.

Ok. As for Proto-Finnic, modern is derived from it, isn't it? I suppose "based on" is a decent approximation of this relation. --Infovarius (talk) 16:07, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"based on" isn't used by any other language to my knowledge. Neither English nor German has "based on Proto-Germanic". Italian doesn't have "based on Latin". I simply don't think it's a correct property to use in cases of natural language development. — surjection?18:45, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's not used yet. We can still discuss the adding. follows (P155) is used, but it seems a little too general. --Infovarius (talk) 09:29, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
