This would be a much better entry if it described a topolect (singular!) more and used the plural less. In its use of the plural it is hard to know what the writer is referring to, especially since, in more than one instance, several unrelated topolects are referred to within the same sentence.Daqu (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Coinage
[edit]Mair says here that he invented it to translate 方言 and is unaware of any earlier usages, which must be independent coinages. —Suzukaze-c◆◆ 22:55, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
