Talk:Besermyan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Some comments
- The name of this people does not sounds as Bisermän – the real form is Besermyan (бесермянин, in Russian), or Beserman (бесерман in Udmurt&Besermyan). So, this article should be moved! The word «Bisermän» in the article also should be corrected.
- The sentence «They speak a Tatar-ified dialect of the Udmurt language» is without any doubt wrong. The language of Besermyans has approximately so much Tatar loanwords as other Udmurt dialects.
- The sentence «Their ancestors are thought to have been the tribes of Volga Bulgaria who spoke Finno-Ugric languages, were subsequently partly Tatar-ified and converted to Islam. After the conquest of Kazan in 1552 they were converted to Christianity by Ivan Grozny» seems to be entirely unsubstantiated: nobody knows surely about this situation.
So, if the community has nothing against it, I'll correct this article within a week. --Denis Sacharnych 20:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
