Extension

edit

Can we extend that property to books and newspapers ? Snipre (talk) 23:24, 27 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

No. There are language of work or name (P407) and original language of film or TV show (P364). --Infovarius (talk) 07:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Rename to language and merge with P:P364

edit

As mentionned by others above, this property is also relevant for non-native languages (it certainly makes sense to say that Samuel Beckett is a French speaker). Can I rename this property ? When it is used without qualifiers, I think it can be assumed to mean "native language", though it will always be better to provide more detailed information.

If we do so, can we mege this property with P:P364 to create a general "language" property. I do not see any use it distinguishing people from works here. --Zolo (talk) 22:02, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I know you love to merge and create experimental properties. But Wikidata is chaotic enough and people and works are two different things. "It can be assumed ..." is not a way to serious work. We need clearly defined properties for the infoboxes. Wikidata is an international project and it's hard enough to agree what we are talking about in English. --Kolja21 (talk) 23:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
On Samuel Beckett: It does not make sense to add all languages a person has learned in his life. What we need are two basic infos: 1.) What is the native language of the author? 2.) In what language he wrote the original version of a single work, for example Waiting for Godot? --Kolja21 (talk) 23:37, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
It is not necessary to add all languages, only those uttered in published works.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 13:23, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Removal of the single value constraint

edit

Why this property has a constraint of single value? It has a lot of constraint violations that may be (or may not be) valid data, we have to add all the people with more than one native language with an exception? Because I don't know on other places, but at least where I come from most of the children are native bilingual, and I'm sure that that's a common thing in more places in the world. -- Agabi10 (talk) 01:27, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

It's not an issue of there are some violations. Just avoid setting it to "mandatory=yes".
Clearly items that stand out on the report are problems: Q7626039, [[]]. --- Jura 06:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Why is this a base separated property?

edit

To have this property separated from languages spoken, written or signed (P1412) just adds an element of confusion. I would much prefer to see this merged to languages spoken, written or signed (P1412) and for it to have a qualifier that says native rather than make people have to know that it exists. Also in English it can be ambiguous as "a native language" can be considered different from "my native language."  — billinghurst sDrewth 21:44, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Qualifiers aren't really easier to handle. If it's not a person's native language, don't add it to an item, use P1412 instead.

Extension from person to people

edit

I've added ethnic group (Q41710) as possible type, because it is logical for an ethnos to have a native language. --Infovarius (talk) 07:58, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Or is it better to use language used (P2936) for this purpose? --Infovarius (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

This should be merged with Q36870

edit

I don't know how to do, but this property is the same as Q36870, so they should be merged. Xabier Armendaritz (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, don't take my message above into account. I just have seen the difference — this property refers to the speaker, whereas first language (Q36870) refers to the language. Xabier Armendaritz (talk) 15:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
What is more: a property can not be the same as an item. They are different by nature. --Infovarius (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Single values constraint

edit

I removed the single values constraint. It does not make much sense as a lot of people have more than one native language. --Emu (talk) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
