Сӳтсе явасси:Мордвасем

Dear Friends! Unfortunately I do not speak Chuvash and know only separate words from my friends or words which came to Moksha from Chuvash. I'm Mokshan and I can assure you there are no Mordvins and they never existed. There are two separate ethnicities Mokshas and Erzyas (Karatais are actually an ethnographic group of Mokshas, Shokshas are considered an ethnographic group of Erzyas but it is disputed as many scientists regard them as a separate ethnicity, so-called Terjukhans are just Russified Erzyas who lived in Teryushevskaya volost of Nizhniy Novgorod gubernia). Mordvin language never existed, two literary languages with respective languge codes do exist: Mokshan (mdf) and Erzyan (myv). We are still beating around the bush with this issue in English wiki due to lack of English language sources on the subject, you can see long discussion regarding this here. I would like to ask you kindly to create separate articles "Мокшасем" and "Erzyas" if you want to avoid creation of dead-end articles in future (I mean normally any article on an ethnic group is linked with its language arcticle, its history , etc). Existence of Chuvash article "Мокшасем" is very important for Moksha wiki. English stub article "Mokshas" is still here awaiting for approval. Moksha wiki article is here. As to this article stub "Мордвасем" I would suggest to keep it but with respective explanations and links to "Мокшасем" and "Erzyas" (cannot remember how this name must sound in Chuvash) . Actually, decision is up to Chuavsh wiki users/admins, so this is not an advise or request, just a proposal re correct articles creation. Thank you Numulunj pilgae

There are articles: Мăкшăсем&ирçесем. Thank you for your remark. I'll copy article Мордвасем into Мордва Республики. Best regards. Viktor 20:45, 11 çĕртме 2010 (UTC)
