Board and Wiki Flags

[hashi]

When you use the flag bbcode, you need to know the flag codes. I have (finally) built a list of the flags and their codes. Can be viewed here: http://langwiki.info/flags.php. I haven't fully defined all the languages yet, but as they are needed, I can. Or if anyone wants to volunteer

Yessss!!!
Sign me in!

Yessss!!!
Sign me in!

You mean sign you up Via the dev panel you should be able to view the source of ~/API/func_languageLists.php. Just copy that locally and edit it and maybe someday when I finish the edit function, you can save it... Or just upload it to the ~/forum folder via FTP and I can move it later.

Singing in is not correct?

Singing in is not correct?

Not in this context To sign in is something like logging in, or like when you go to a hotel and have to check in. Signing up is when you put your name down or forward to do something

oh thanks! I'll remember that

Probably not important enough to discuss, but what do you think about adding the flags for the Eastern band and the Keetoowah band? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee (Note, I'm not real sure where you get the flags from   )

If they're two dialects of Cherokee, for sure. Otherwise I don't see the point.

Well, they are different dialects, but the same thing could be said of British English, New Jersey English, Mid West US English, Australian English, etc, etc. So I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "dialects".

Keetoowah is quite different to Western Cherokee, and I've seen Eastern Cherokee pages on the internet that are just plain odd.  Such as the people who are translating Facebook into Eastern have "ugilvkwdi" for "Like" or "like this" (I haven't used the English translated facebook in quite a while so I don't remember what it is), where as in my dialect I would say "agilvkwdi".

Not to mention that even within the Western dialect there are many variations.

Eh, I'm too tired to think.  Anyway, it's up to you guys.  Not a big problem if you do or not.  Just something I was thinking about.

If they are major dialects within a dialect (like Texan is to American), then we should add it. But if the difference is too small or if there are too many Cherokee variants to make distinct, then it's not worth it and we'll consider it the same language.

Ok, maybe this'll help since I'm horrible with explaining things, ...

Excerpt:

“We decided the languages are different now. You guys (CN speakers) use sounds and words that are different,” Jackson said. “We decided, at least with the new words, we would be as close together as we can. With some of those words the only difference may be the last vowel.”

That is in discussion of the Eastern and Western dialects. The Keetoowah dialect is very different, so that is one that I am 100% sure on.

(Yeah, I know it's late. Brain is really failing me, but eh, at least I found it now, ).

Ok I uploaded the flags.
I'm not sure about the naming so I just called them CHR-W and CHR-E

[hashi]

As you may or may not have noticed. I've trialled adding flags to the descriptions of the boards. What do we think of this? If you want more added to boards, list them below. And, why is it we have no mini-flag for italian o_O

I have also renamed the Finno-ugric board to Uralic.
