Minangkabau Language

[edit]

The following was added to the article recently. I have removed it. I have no idea if it is accurate transcription of a language, nor what it might mean, nor even if the content is appropriate for inclusion. I notice "muslim" in there, so I am concerned as to what it might say.

If this is an example of a language actually spoken in West Sumatra, and if the content is appropriate, then please feel free to restore it to the article, with English translation, or to factor it out into an article on the language. If anyone knows that it it not an example of a language actually spoken in West Sumatra, and/or that the content is inappropriate, please say that, too.

Ini ing minangkabau language.. patune na ing kapampangan biasa ya uli na ning e deng lalu ila ing makapagedit ka reng website a kalupa na nini. sana atin mang metung a makasaup kanaku nung ninu man ing makaintindi kanining salitang ini... buri ku sang abalu kung nokarin la menibat deng kapampangan at deng pamilyang lalu.. sana asopan daku deng kapatad tamung muslim a atchu king indonesia. dakal pung salamat

The above statement is in Kapampangan / Pampango. English Translation: "This is minangkabau language. Proof that the Kapampangan is intelligent, because only they can edit a website like this. I hope there is someone who can help me understand this language. I want to know where Kapampangans originated. I hope our Muslim brethren in Indonesia can help me. Thank you very much." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.29.105.20 (talk) 02:52, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Links??

[edit]

The links for West Sumatra lead to a page asking if you would like to create this article, it says there is currently no page for West Sumatra. Clearly there is such a page, perhaps the links should be looked into. Basser g 18:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No sources at all?

[edit]

There seem to be scarcely any sources in this article. Can this be improved? --Wetman (talk) 05:09, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
