Forum:CT Archive/"X (language)" or "X language"?

A while back, we had a brief Senate Hall discussion on whether to have languages that share the name of the people that use them at "X (language)" or "X language," where "X" is the name of the people in question. What little discussion occurred indicated there was support for the latter option, though admonitions against voting killed the momentum of the thread. I think we ought to go forward with the proto-consensus that was developing there, and have the appropriate language articles titled "X language." Reasons for this mentioned in the original discussion include:

 * It makes for more natural links within articles
 * Parenthetical titles are a little awkward in general
 * It's the format used at Wikipedia, and though we are not them, consistency with them on this issue doesn't hurt us in any way and helps those with experience at Wikipedia find language articles.

Use "X language"

Comments

 * Hate to be the one saying this, but can any instances of referring to a language as the "X language" be found in any IU instances, and cited here? I lean towards the proposed policy out of sheer preference, but I think some stronger arguments must exist to be made. Graestan ( Talk ) 01:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
