:::Nostratic (and Amerind, which depends on a similar pattern of pronouns) are definitely FRINGE. Yet these patterns have been noticed for over a century, and people have struggled to explain them. I don't see how a fringe hypothesis could be notable, yet the real evidence provided for it not be notable. We need to understand the evidence if we want to be able to evaluate the claims that depend on them. |

::::But this isn’t evidence for those theories. That it’s claimed to be evidence can be thrown in the large pile of things Nostraticists et al consider to be evidence that nobody takes seriously. That’s why it’s a [[WP:PROFRINGE]] concern. |

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

@Kwamikagami Hi dear Kwamikagami! I have seen that you edit Navajo Wikipedia and you are native to Navajo language. I have a request. Can you create an article for the city of Durrës, the second largest city in Albania, on Navajo Wiki, with short content. This important city hasn't yet an article on Navajo Wiki and it should be there like there are articles for Albania and Tirana, the capital of Albania. I would thank you so much if you will create it. Regards, Suel Stafili70 (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, you seem to be an expert in linguistics and IPA. I have two doubts.

Please remember, since you seem to be editing along these lines and have a counterfactual statement on your userpage, that neither Proto-Human nor the techniques used to reconstruct it are taken seriously within linguistics. Edits along those lines need to take WP:FRINGE into account and be made carefully, especially if it accidentally ends up reading as advocacy for those theories. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 10:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By comparing basic vocabulary across the established families of oral languages of the world, we have been able to reconstruct the Proto-Human language. We find that all reconstructed words are *na. An extension of this method to additional lexical items (in other basic word lists) finds that those items also reconstruct to *na. We therefore conclude that the ancestral human population used the word *na for everything.
