The Glossary of Dorset dialect words article is incomplete, listing words beginning a and b only, and is completely unreferenced. I believe it would benefit from being brought into this article where it can be improved and help illustrate the accent, pronunciation and grammar of the Dorset dialect. As it currently stands, I fear it could be proposed for deletion.--Ykraps (talk) 09:05, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the glossary is oddly incomplete, but I'm not sure how moving it here would help either article. If it were then expanded to the whole alphabet, it would probably dominate the article and need to be split off again. I wonder if it would be worth having a go at completing and referencing the glossary as a first step. Below are some references that might help to start with. What I'm not clear is where we stand on copyright if we import a whole glossary though.
My thinking was that there needs to be quite a few examples in this article to illustrate how the dialect is constructed but I take your point, a list of 200+ words might be too long to be incorporated here.--Ykraps (talk) 12:19, 10 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

What does mean the writer?
I mean it does not come along with any link and it is confusing because of the common expression semi-consonant it reminds me of but l and r are never called a such way.
Semi-consonants(or -vowels more rarely) refer to sounds as /j/ and /w/ (At least for english and some languages that have no other semi-consonants). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E34:EC12:36C0:8959:F6C3:F396:6E07 (talk) 13:08, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
