Languages without open vowels
Open vowel says that most languages have at least one open vowel, but it does not cite a single language that doesn't have one. Could someone provide an example of a lighter language without an open vowel? H 02:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Actually, there is serious research into Linguistic typology and universals going on all the time, by individuals who don't consider themselves to be "irresponsible"... AnonMoos 06:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

What did CJK type cases look like?
If they had to contain instances of all the Hanzi / Kanji / Hanja characters, then they had to be really huge and unhandy... I just cannot imagine a case divided into ten thousand boxes. Did they take up several rooms in the printing houses? --195.19.132.65 10:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Re wording sentence
Hi all, I could use some help in rewording this sentence to sound better: "The squad leader, Davis, a seasoned soldier, fired his rifle" I just can't figure out how to use 2 descriptive in 1 sentence like that above. 67.169.185.206 16:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
It sounds more natural in two sentences. "Davis, the squad leader, was a seasoned soldier. He fired his rifle." Xn4 15:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
"God Forbid" in Arabic
- How does one say "God Forbid!" or "Allah Forbid!" in the Arabic language (using Roman letters)? I see we have articles on the Arabic versions of "God willing" and "God is great," but we seem to be missing the phrase that one would say if something is either unfortunate or immoral.

There's also Ta'awwudh... AnonMoos 06:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- So, if I understand this right, it would be stylistically correct for an Arab American to say to his brother, "If I die, ma'adu-llah, I want you to take care of my kids." --M @ r ē ino 14:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- The nationality's not required. I was making an example to confirm whether I understood the answers to my question. An Arab American is an example of someone more likely than most to use an Arabic-language phrase in the middle of an English-language sentence, and it's the one that happened to come to mind. --M @ r ē ino 14:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
