¿Tienes ejemplos? Got examples?

¡Hola tocayo!

I have a question for you since I have a large interest in language contact phenomena on various levels. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about Tagolog except that has massive borrowings from Spanish if not massive relexification. I'd like to use Tagalog as an example sometimes, esp. to avoid using Euro-on-Euro examples; however, I would like to find out your impressions first. So, if you're up for a chat and also want to know more about Montréal and Québec City, let me know! CJ Withers 06:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Super!

OK, here goes... Before reading the Tagalog article, I'd love to know how you, as a L1 speaker, view the "Spanish words" in Tagalog. Also, do Tagalog speakers (unilingual or multi-lingual) who don't know Spanish at all view the "Spanish words" as having a foreign origin? Also, it would be interesting to know if the borrowings were done by L1, L2 or both types of speakers. A relexification process in which the phonological framework of Tagalog was used seems to indicate an L2 borrowing; however, it could also have been non-hispanophone Tagolog speakers who recast L1 hispanophone Tagolog speakers' "hispanisms" or those by people whose mastery of Spanish was like an L1. My question seems confusing, but, again, I want to know if Tagalog could be a good example or a good counter-example. CJ Withers 07:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Excellent! Thank you SO MUCH, you hit the nail on the head. I started reading the Filipino vs. Tagalog article and totally understood, esp. about the purist part. You see, years ago, I had a course in Language Contact, but the professor was only interested in creoles and mixed languages; there was no mention of how English is a mixture and how Tagalog is too. In terms of how the vowels "e" and "o" were borrowed into Tagalog, they make Tagalog the poster child for how even phonemes can be borrowed, which my professor was reluctant to admit.

Also, in your opinion, how many fully bilingual Tagolog-Spanish speakers were there historically, say, around the turn of the 20th century? Was is also possible for ethnically Tagalogs to grow up only knowing Spanish except, say, to use Tagalog with servants? I'm thinking of how French was a main language for wealthy/prominent Russians who often only used Russian with Russian-speaking monolingual servants... CJ Withers 07:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again, esp. for the social aspects since we cannot remove the human part of human language! And, yeah, I completely saw the mess concerning Filipino vs. Tagalog. It made me think of the sociolinguistic situation of French here, which I will NOT get into right now. ;-) Btw, I reworked the article on Quebec French, though have yet to redo social aspect because it's touchy and the truth will scare people who only have preconceived notions or imaginings.

Administratorship

You are invited to accept nomination for administratorship here.May you succeed.--Jondel 04:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the messy nomination! I'm trying to clean it up.--Jondel 04:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Just dropped in to say that my oppose has nothing to do with your edit counts. It is just that I am not sure you have been able to keep up with the policy updates with so low interest in discussions. If it weren't so low and so centred (on WT:BABEL), I would have been pressed to support. Saw your contributions; you are an asset to Misplaced Pages. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

BTW, congrats on graduation. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I was about to say sorry for the 'plain' and simple, nothing fancy nomination. I was worried when I saw your oppositions. But 49 counts and still increasing!!! Nakakaingit ka pare! --Jondel 08:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope this RfA passes. It is descending into a popularity contest.Blnguyen | rant-line 03:43, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

FTB

First of all, second those congratulations on your graduation, will you go on to do a masters? Second of all, thank you _very much_ for your input over at ftb. Its always great to get input from a bilingual native speaker, and a linguist no less :) Thirdly, good luck on your RfA. - FrancisTyers · 09:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

adminship to de-adminship

Christopher, have you considered listing yourself at this category? A "campaign promise" to do so might assuage concerns that you're not experienced or knowledgeable enough about policy. btw, thanks for answering my question about page moves. Whatever you decide to do, good luck in your RfA!--Kchase02 T 00:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Q&A

8. Why do you want to be an administrator?

A Use of the company car.

This is the best answer I have seen for this question. BTW, you don't have Hindi as one of your user languages. Did you seek help to write hindi? Or did you use a translator? Regards, — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 16:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

If you have questions, feel free to leave a talk page message for me or any other admin. Again, congratulations! Essjay (Talk) 05:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes - The right decision. All the best. Blnguyen | rant-line 05:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulation! Have fun learning how to use them. If you need help give me a yell. Be good. FloNight 05:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Although I opposed you, congratulations from me too. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Congrats, Christopher! I really wanted to support during your RfA, but was told it's a bad idea to vote in someone else's during your own. :| I wish you luck in your admin career. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 06:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!--Kchase T 07:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Congrats - sorry about the car. Viridae 03:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, and you're very welcome! --Merovingian (T, C, @) 03:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Congrats to the new multilingual admin! But did you really get a vote from only one Irish speaker, so you used the singular there? How sad... ;-) Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Plural would have been go raibh maith agaibh (roughly ɡə rə ˈmaɪh əɡəv). Tole sint Hiberni...  :-) Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:01, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Shit, looks like I missed the party, anyway, congratulations from me too :) - FrancisTyers · 19:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations from me! huntersquid 23:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

List of Magsaysay awardees

Hello. I have been populating the above mentioned list since a few days and the list is now complete. I searched around for some wikipedians from Philippines and came to your page. I don't have much knowledge about Philippines or names used in that region. Could you have a look at all the names and check their spellings? There may be some people who already have articles on wikipedia but they still show as red links due to spelling mistakes that I may have made. Thanks. If you don't have much time, I will ask someone else. - Aksi_great (talk) 17:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick action. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 11:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Ethnicities

Thanks for informing me. I’ll have my views posted once I’ve read through the arguments. –Lagalag 07:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Filipinos by Ethnic or National Origin

There was no consensus to delete these categories. Why are you deleting them? Thanks Hmains 05:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

You are violating the process of the 'delete category discussion list'. Deleting by de-population is still deleting, just trying to get around the rules. I have asked that all your work be reverted. Hmains 05:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
