In 1919, Grierson maintained that the dialects of what is now the southwest of Punjab Province in Pakistan constitute a dialect cluster, which he designated "Southern Lahnda" within a putative "Lahnda language". Subsequent Indo-Aryanist linguists have confirmed the reality of this dialect cluster, even while rejecting the name "Southern Lahnda" along with the entity "Lahnda" itself.[13][14] However, outside of Indo-Aryanist circles, the concept of "Lahnda" is still found in compilations of the world's languages (e.g., Ethnologue).
There is a tendency for some discussions of the Saraiki dialects and their emerging standard literary language to incorrectly include dialects or languages spoken farther north, in particular Hindko and modern Panjistani. This error is due to confusing Saraiki (Grierson's "Southern Lahnda") with Grierson's larger category of Lahnda, within which Grierson included dialects spoken north of the Salt Range, now called Hindko and modern Panjistani (Potwari, Mirpuri) as stated by Mohammd Afzal of London UK. While the more northern dialects are considerably similar to Saraiki in linguistic structure, starting with Grierson they have been recognised as definitely distinct from the dialect cluster spoken south of the Salt Range.

Which merge template should I use?

Do not use this tag on a template or category—instead below for instructions.

  • To merge at least two together at an unspecified location: {{Merge|OtherPage}}
  • To merge the contents of the tagged article into the specified article: {{Merge to|OtherPage}}
  • The contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article: {{Merge from|OtherPage}} – the opposite of {{Merge to}};
  • To suggest merging only some material, use {{Move portions from|SourcePage}} and {{Move portions|TargetPage}}

Usage

Tagging a single page is simple:

{{Merge|OtherPage |date=November 2024}}

By default, the Discuss link on the template links to the top of the destination page's talk page. To specify which section, or to name a different talk page entirely, use the |discuss= parameter:

{{Merge|OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=November 2024}}

To name other pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged:

{{Merge|OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=November 2024}}

To name multiple pages to merge into a single page, use the |target= parameter. For example, to merge the tagged page, as well as OtherPage1, OtherPage2, and OtherPage3 into OtherPage4, use:

{{Merge|OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |target=OtherPage4 |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=November 2024}}

These templates will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to Category:Items to be merged.

Notes

  • After adding the merge template, please create a section on the talkpage explaining your rationale for the merge proposal.
  • If you want to propose merging a category, you must do so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
  • If you want to propose merging a template, you must do so at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
  • Do not add the namespace to the names of the pages.
For example, write {{Merge|OtherHelpPage}}, not {{Merge|Help:OtherHelpPage}}.
  • Do not link to the pages with square brackets.
For example, write {{Merge|OtherArticle}}, not {{Merge|[[OtherArticle]]}}.
  • You do not have to supply the date: a bot will add it later.
  • The date may not be shown in the box. Do not be concerned about this. It is used when grouping tagged pages together into categories by date.
