"Spoken throughout the country"
[edit]The languages mentioned in Talk are said to be spoken throughout the country. Is this just an involved way to say "in the country", or are none of the main languages regional? –LPfi (talk) 08:56, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm confused – isn't "throughout the country" (or "thruout the country") the way to mention if a language is spoken nationwide? I'd interpret "in the country" as "anywhere in the country". SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 09:02, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I think they are all regional languages, so yes, "in the country" would better convey the meaning. Vidimian (talk) 09:39, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- ... or perhaps "... in areas throughout the country" (or a similar variation) if that word is found worth keeping. Vidimian (talk) 15:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
Numbering system in Pakistan
[edit]An edit war is taking place, but the placement of the commas followed w:Indian numbering system. A big part of the confusion people from outside of South Asia feel when seeing this numbering system is that the commas don't appear just every three places like in the system used in most of the rest of the world. I've attempted to have a discussion at User talk:YourLocalWikiGuy, but since User:YourLocalWikiGuy is choosing to edit war, the discussion has to take place here.

- After doing some research, I found out that stuff like 1,00,000 indeed is used in the Indian subcontinent, and I can say I was wrong. YourLocalWikiGuy (talk) 10:00, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Great, but you still didn't restore those commas properly, so I reverted. Feel free to re-edit the text. Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, but at least don't remove the non-Indic number category. YourLocalWikiGuy (talk) 06:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- You can restore or make followup edits as needed. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
