Grammar?

This article should include something about the Azerbaijani grammar. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 19:46, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing "Azeri" from article

@Tural2008: You removed the mentions of "Azeri" and "Azeri Turkic" in the introduction with the comment "Azeri word is wrong". The terms are commonly used, there’s no point removing them from the article. Please indicate why the terms are inadequate in the article with references. Pretending they don’t exist or aren’t used isn’t helping anyone. Moyogo/ (talk) 10:20, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After all, we do not officially use such an abbreviation. Our textbooks are written in Azerbaijani or the Azerbaijani language. This abbreviation is an unattested word coined later. Tural Alisoy (talk) 10:25, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We need some reliable sources here, folks. It seems to me that there are quite a few sources already in this article which refer to this language as "Azeri", but I (who am a non-speaker of the language) have no way of knowing how reliable these sources are (or are not). Please, let's not descend into an edit war in which people are adding and removing the word based only on their personal knowledge or understanding; please back up your knowledge with sources. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 13:17, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
