Talk:List of common phrases in various languages
Re: Japanese

?à?µ?à?µ (moshi moshi) should only be used on the telephone; it's not a general "hello," and the article should reflect this in some way. ?¡?ú?Í (konnichiwa) is probably better here.

:Um, what's wrong with the criterion "Some Wikipedian knows what those phrases are in the language and is willing to type them in"?  --LDC
::I just wondered if "number of speakers" or "having evolved naturally" was a criterion, and [http://everything2.com/?node_id=550048 I'm afraid of breaking unwritten rules]. For instance, does [[Klingon language|Klingon]] count? What about [[Middle Earth/Quenya|Quenya]] or [[Middle Earth/Sindarin|Sindarin]]? --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]
