Category talk:Languages

Having two categories distinguished only by the singular and the plural of a noun is not a good idea (confusion source).

• Category:Language
• Category:Languages

Category:English and other topical categories about languages

It would be nice to have a name that makes it more obvious that this is a topical category. How about Category:English linguistics, and for the larger languages subcategories like Category:English grammar, Category:English orthography, etc.? I’m open to suggestions, as some people don’t like including things relating to writing or standardised language under linguistics. Another issue is that the hub categories (without language codes) would follow the same format as non-topical categories, but I still think it’s clearer than just English.

And how about parent categories for language families, like Category:Germanic linguistics? — Ungoliant ^(falai) 20:34, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
