Talk:colinguist
I tried adding {d} to this entry but it was reverted for no good reason. The word doesn't exist, it is not found on Google dictionary, Merriam Webster, Oxford, or 'Free Dictionary'. The person who entered this entry has no idea on word formation — 'colinguist' literally means fellow linguist (person who studies Linguistics), it has nothing to do with same-language-ness.

- @Lioita: Please see the edit summary by Surjection. I couldn't find the word in any dictionaries either, but usually we do not rely on dictionaries, but look for uses of the word in texts, so you should use
{{rfv|en}}rather than{{d}}. — Eru·tuon 18:14, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
This entry has survived Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Please do not re-nominate for verification without comprehensive reasons for doing so.
Proposed for speedy deletion by Lioita, but is a matter for RFV. Not found in any dictionaries, but I did see some uses in a Google Books search. — Eru·tuon 18:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- It looks attestable, but would seem to be an alternative form of co-linguist. DCDuring (talk) 19:31, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- I have moved the main entry to co-linguist, which is the more common spelling by far (and tripped over @DCDuring in the process), but I have also added three cites for the unhyphenated form. Kiwima (talk) 19:43, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
