Latin. Tagged by Jumpirip on 31 October 2019, not listed:

“See the removal of (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /kʰanɡ.ba.i.saˈnen.sis/, [kʰäŋɡbäɪs̠äˈnẽːs̠ɪs̠]

  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /kanɡ.ba.i.saˈnen.sis/, [käŋɡbäis̬äˈnɛnsis] and the comment: "The pronunciation seems dubious and unnecessary. How to know that "ch" is /kʰ/ rather than /tʂʰ/ or /tʃʰ/ here, that "ng" is /ng/ rather than /ŋ/? Why would the ai be in hiatus, rather than a diphthong as in Chinese "Changbai"?". Hypothesis: This word isn't Latin at all.” J3133 (talk) 06:51, 27 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
It looks like this is Taxonomic Latin. It is attested as such. The question is whether to have the header "Latin" or "Translingual". As the inflected forms appear unattested, I think they should be removed regardless. I would reheader it "Translingual" and pass it as such, but some people have argued for such things to be kept as Latin. - -sche (discuss) 02:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Converted to Translingual. (As a Translingual taxonomic name element, it's attested. In Latin, it's not.) - -sche (discuss) 01:10, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
