Closed, ResolvedPublic

"Sää´mǩiõll" has the wrong palatalization marker. "Sääʹmǩiõll" to "nuõrttsääʹmǩiõll" is the same change that was made in T156589.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Update Skolt Sami language name

Yupik moved this task from In progress to Patch for Review on the WMFI board.

For the name of the language, go to the Language Board and select the illative version of the language (nuõrttsääʹmǩiõʹlle) and convert it to the nominative form (nuõrttsääʹmǩiõll). As can been seen from the Skolt pages, both nuõrttsääʹmǩiõll and sääʹmǩiõll are in use, but the longer version is used to differentiate between the different Saami languages.

Discussion on the palatalization marker from Feist's dissertation 10 years ago, p. 40, footnote 15. Five years later the Language Board had this to say about using it in a document about normalizing/standardizing how to write Skolt Saami (also note the spelling of Skolt Saami below) on computers:
