Talk:Language

Don't be such morons, guys....
I noticed some poor acts recently on the page I have put so much work in (I designed all its structure and it took me quite a while to edit it at each update) :
 * Kosovo was removed from the list of official Serbian speakers
 * Cyprus was removed from the list of official Turkish speakers

These countries DO BELONG to where I wrote theme.

I know that these countries are in the middle of conflicts for international recognisance. The internet is the place of universal freedom of expression. I don't want to know who did this, but whoever did it should be ashamed. This is not a place for such dumb conflicts. These people exist and have the same rights as everybody else.

If you do not agree with the legitimity of these countries, then go away instead of so poorly griefing this page ; it is your problem, not the one of people who make pages for you to read and enjoy. We write for your pleasure of reading, so stop doing such stupid and useless things.

Always happy to enhance this great wiki about a great game,

Turkish?
Who translates Turkish words? some of them are wrong and contain obscenities >:|

For example when i get achievement :

in English : Achievement get!

in Turkish : Havalanma, MK! ( means : Dont be so spoiled, Mother F***** )

I wish Mojang will fix this :S

 * This is the act of trolls who edited most of the translations. Trolls go to hell ! This is being fixed. Don't worry. --SwissTHX11384EB 22:22, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Dutch
I'm SOOOOO Happy to see there will be Dutch too!! ( im an Dutch boy so...) --FantasyGames 11:13, 17 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Great to see there's Italian (even though the different Italian dialects, like Lombard, Sicilian, etc. should be in for the lulz :P). Since Klingon and Quenya are coming, Dragon Tongue from Skyrim should definitely be in (seeing how Notch plays Skyrim as well, he could make a deal with Bethesda :D)!
 * While I'm at it, where's the source for the Klingon/Quenya info?--82.54.144.61 16:08, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Notch/Jeb needs to make leet, Latin, and gangster…76.93.42.207 04:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Make the first step and start new languages on that page ! :) When people will see the new language you've added, some will come and add their touch to the thing if they speak the language. --SwissTHX11384EB 20:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Danish territories, and the actual language
Faroe Islands seems to be on the list for Denmark, and the language Danish. However, the casual spoken language on these islands are not danish. I'm aware that most people that lives there know how to speak danish, and that it is one of the two official languages of the islands.

Please consider if this is based on territory, or language. Greenland is danish too.


 * Danish is an official language in Faroe Islands (I checked) and thanks for the tipp on Greenland ! Just added it. In fact I based myself on the official languages on wikipedia. Feel free to make corrections as I did the best I could. There might be some mistakes but most of it is right. I let you imagine the work it took to make this page. --SwissTHX11384EB 20:51, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Menu button stuff
I noticed today that when you press ESC you can change language from there. I am using 12w01a and don't remember this button being there in earlier prereleases. Is this new to 12w01a or has it been there since languages were introduced? Zogen :3 23:52, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * no, it was in 11W49A
 * Thanks for clearing that up (I'm so unobservant :3) Zogen :3 17:21, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Basque
Basque language is not Ingelera but Euskara.

English (UK) vs English (US)
I would very much like to know what the differences between uk and us english are, and which is the "default" minecraft language (before languages were added). --GALAKTOSTalk – ceterum censeo error quasi-connectivitatis pistonis delendam esse. 13:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
