Native name

The page does not mention the native name of the language, but ISO 639:e states that the native name is E. Could somebody confirm? Thank you. Lmaltier (talk) 20:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

:It is pronounced something like "eughh"... Wikipedia's auto-capitalization of article titles may have caused confusion - "E" is the sound, not the latin letter. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 11:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Ergh, according to Chinese Wikipedia, that's for they call 'I' as 'E 55'.

Like the Hak-ka-fa(Hakka), some people call it as 'ngai language'(涯話), for they call both '涯' and 'I'(我) as 'ngai'(with different tone). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.248.134.97 (talk) 13:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Columns

Can someone unmerge the back column of the vowel chart and add a central column for a [ä] and [ə]? It’s transcluded from somewhere and I don’t know how to deal with that mess. 66.87.124.207 (talk) 23:44, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Congrats and broken refs

Congrats on GA! I see there are some broken refs; would you like me to fix them? Notice how clicking on Edmondson 1992 in the Notes doesn't do anything (it should lead the reader to its citation further down in the References). Prhartcom (talk) 20:52, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

:I went ahead and upgraded the reference format a bit. Hope you like it; if not, feel free to revert. Please double-check my work. (I notice the Infobox template generates footnotes 1 and 2: I saw in the template doc a way to suppress that if needed.) Nice job on the article. Cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 22:28, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Translation of Wusehua

I'm fairly new to studying Chinese but if I'm not mistaked the first character in Wusehua (五) is the number 5, making the name translate to "5 colours language". Can anyone who knows the language confirm?BobBobtheBob (talk) 11:32, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Good article reassessment

Northern Tai, not a mixed language

E/Wusehua can be safely considered to be a Northern Tai language. I have seen word lists of E, and the basic vocabulary words are clearly of Kra-Dai origin, even though it does have many more Chinese loanwords than neighboring Zhuang dialects. Proportionally, E has just about as many Chinese-origin words as Biao does, but Biao has not been explicitly mentioned as a mixed language. Lingnanhua (talk) 13:30, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
