Language terms derived from Old-Language?

[edit]

Is this category really necessary? If we exclude borrowings from other languages, all other terms of a language will be inherited from the same language at a previous point in time. The categorization system itself

  • All languages » Portuguese language » Terms by etymology » Terms derived from other languages » Indo-European languages » Italic languages » Romance languages » Old Portuguese

seems to imply that Old Portuguese and Portuguese are completely distinct, almost unrelated languages. That's weird for me... —Capmo (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

We do treat Old Portuguese and [modern] Portuguese as distinct languages. — Ungoliant (falai) 16:19, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
So, you're saying that all Portuguese words that are not borrowings (from languages other than Old Portuguese) will have to be included in this category? If I may ask again: what's the use of such categorization? Capmo (talk) 01:26, 1 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
No, there are words that were coined in modern Portuguese and don’t belong in this category (petista for example). — Ungoliant (falai) 02:07, 1 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I see. That's fine, then. Capmo (talk) 17:16, 7 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
