The initial language of this article was french. this is a machine translation - a doubly fluent english/french translator should translate the french page instead ·Maunus· ·ƛ· 19:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

you really should take the time - this is hardly intelligible.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 18:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been going through this article, but I'm stumped by this sentence: Il existe des mots communs aux deux Charentes, une unité linguistique mais de nombreuses variantes soit de terme soit de prononciation. Is this referring to Poitevin and Saintongeais or to something else? If it's referring to these two languages, the sentence could be translated into English as: Although there are many similarities between Poitevin and Saintongeais, they differ in many respects in how they are pronounced. -Yupik (talk) 08:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose this is too late to be helpful, but the previous sentence in the French article reads:

Cet article concerne les particularismes du langage des anciennes provinces de Saintonge, d'Aunis et d'Angoumois encore présent en Charente, en Charente-Maritime ...

I think Charente and Charente-Maritime are the "two Charentes" that comprise a linguistic unity with some variations in lexicon and pronunciation.

The page was moved from Saintongeais to Saintongeais dialect. This would make sense if "Saintongeais" were the name of the region where the dialect was spoken but it's not. It's the name of the dialect (at least according to the article). Given that the dialect is called "Saintongeais", shouldn't this be the location of the page? So why not move it back?
