My edits

Please dont mess with my edits without discussion. It seems that you even did not bother to look into sources cited. --Altenmann >talk 02:55, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm pretty sure the afformentioned messing with the edits wasn't adressed to me, but, I'm taking the oppurtunity to ask what exaclty does the "failed verification" mean behind the second native name? Ewithu (talk) 16:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you hover a cursor over the tag, you will see the description specified by the parameter "reason=". This is what I wrote there: failed verification|date=September 2024|reason=source says ńiĺəm (TJ P), ńiləm (KU), ńēləm (So.), phonetic: n’elm --Altenmann >talk 16:27, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I also tried to google search for нялм in Mansi, no success; but maybe I was not diligent enough. --Altenmann >talk 16:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.P.S. Regarding the first name, in the source the word "лынгх" is translated only as "word" and there is no "маньсь лынгх" there, but I let it go, because seems plausible that "mansi word" may mean "mansi language". Maybe I have to tag this as well. --Altenmann >talk 16:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah searching up any Mansi words (Let that be Eastern and Northern) on google is a rather fools erand, I've been working with these langugaes since last year and it is rather poorly represetned in the English media, or just on Google. I'll try to give more sources, however it is hard to make sure it mean languge, since of the russian meaning of язык is both toung and language. Ewithu (talk) 17:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ps I think I couldn't link the source of the second name normally from Lingvodoc; but the context clue leads me to believe, нялм both means tongue and language. Ewithu (talk) 17:17, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct; my concern was with transcription, and Lingvodoc does not give a Cyrillic transcription. --Altenmann >talk 19:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did finally find here that "нялм" means "tongue" in Mansi, but without indication which dialect. The article is about abessive case and it gives an example of abessive in Mansi: нялмтал = "without tongue" ("нялмтал -безъязыкий от нялм - язык"), i.e, there the word "tongue" is used literally. --Altenmann >talk 19:47, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
