Башҡорт literally means 'Bashkir', stands for 'in Bashkir' (much the same way as Azərbaycan vs Azərbaycanca). The 2nd form is more suitable when the language is meant. This form is e.g. used in the official site of Bashkortostan Republic Authority. Meanwhile Башҡорт can stand for the nation, anything related to it and anything related to Bashkortostan Republic. So, Башҡортса is really more suitable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
