Template talk:Altaic languages

Japanese and Korean
The inclusion of Japanese (likewise Korean) in the Altaic language group is controversial and not generally accepted, AFAICT.

I suggest we accord with consensus, as in: Specifically:
 * Classification of the Japanese language
 * Classification_of_the_Japanese_language

 * Pursuant to above, I suggest we stay in sync with:
 * w:Template:Altaic languages
 * ...and not include the template on Japanese or Korean.

 * I've also added a caveat; I suggest we either include the caveat, or don't include Japanese and Korean.

To say it is "Not generally accepted" (or conversely, to say it "IS generally accepted") is not NPOV. I've reworded it to acknowledge the controversy, without taking a side either way. Manning Bartlett (discuss • contribs) 05:52, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
