📌 Rare Languages

Thanks!

Those German ones all fit into existing categories (the Frankish ones into Old High German, Palatinate German is a form of Central German, we have a category for Low German (which would likely even include Gronings Dutch, even though that seems to be an old creole of Low German and Frisian), and West Frisian is normally just called Frisian, which has a category.
So I've put those into the existing categories.
I'm surprised we don't have a category for Pennsylvania Dutch yet - it goes back to Central German, but I would have guessed it would get its own category.
Well, we now have 2 texts in it, both in the Central German category, but I'll list them here nevertheless.

As DarkJoshua pointed out, we already have a category for Griko, of which Calabrian Greek is a subdialect.

Burgenland Croatian is a form of Chakavian, which has a category.
Cieszyn Silesian is a form of Silesian, which has a category.
Kajkavian has a category.

Drawänopolabian and Eastern Polabian are both forms of Polabian. Added them as that to the list.

I added the other ones to the list.
We could probably just make categories "Croatian dialects", "Macedonian dialects" etc, but since I don't speak those languages I can't tell.

No, the current rule is that they must have different main artists, which is the case, so both can stay.

Requested a category for Masurian Polish, Nganasan, and Evenki, and added some more to the list.

Yup. Already noticed that someone was adding translations from Other ;)
Only issue is that it's a conlang - but there seem to be at least certain aspects of grammar and vocabulary published?

Ah great!
(and considering that also Black Speech and Sindarin have categories already...)

Thanks! Any idea which Rajasthanian language it is? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajasthani_language#Classification

We already have one song in "Rajasthani", so I'd prefer making sure it's the same language before we add a category.

True - us linguists usually call those Sinitic, not Chinese, though, to avoid that confusion. (unless we write for Chinese journals, then we might call Xiang etc a dialect of Chinese for political diplomatic reasons).

On this website, we don't put the language family or branch before other languages either (e.g. English isn't called "Germanic (English)"), we only do that for dialects.

The difference between what counts as language and what as dialect is very vague, but we at least try to use that distinction as a guideline.

One compromise might be to call our Chinese category "Chinese (Mandarin)" instead, in order to make clear that it doesn't refer to other Chinese/Sinitic languages.

@Alma Barroca Which comment are you replying to?

Danke! Ich hab entsprechend eine Kategorie für Karbadisch vorgeschlagen.

Die anderen hab ich der Liste hinzugefügt.

Das heißt auch Guanhua oder Guanzonghua. Laut Glottolog, Dialekte von Mandarin auf dem selben Level wie e.g. Nordbairisch, Mittelbairisch und Südbairisch, oder Hamburgerisch und Berlinerisch. Also sehr spezifische Dialektgruppen, die nur in Ausnahmefällen eine eigene Kategorie brauchen. Aber keine Ahnung, dafür ist mein Mandarin nun wirklich nicht gut genug.
