Many pro-drop languages unmarked

[edit]

The Slavic languages are pro-drop languages, too. (I'm not sure about Russian, but Czech, Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian, Slovene, Croatian, Serbian, and Bulgarian definitely are.) Likewise, Lithuanian and Latvian are pro-drop, and the Finno-Ugrian languages too (Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Saami languages). The Turkic languages are pro-drop too, and some major Turkic languages spoken in Europe should be included. They are Turkish (European part of Turkey), Kazakh (European part of Kazakhstan), Tatar (Tatarstan, part of Russia), Bashkir (Bashkortostan, part of Russa, next to Tatarstan), and Chuvash (Chuvashia, part of Russia, next to Tatarstan).

All these languages are not marked as pro-drop in the map. I have left out smaller minority languages like the Finno-Ugric languages of Russia, the Kashubian language of Northern Poland and the two Sorbian languages of Eastern Germany, the Aromunian language of Northern Greece (a close relative to Romanian), or the Gagauz language of Southern Moldova (closely related to Turkish, but of a Christian people).

I would like to suggest to mark these languages as pro-drop. --Curryfranke (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In short, almost all languages marked in pink, yellow or grey are pro-drop too, except Russian and the Celtic languages. --Curryfranke (talk) 14:55, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
