Yes, I'm quite sure the "correctness" of that list of the names of the days-of-the-week has many inaccuracies, most of them could start a debate amongst those much better at linguistics than we. I don't have that much knowledge about any of those languages, but enough to know that what I don't know about linguistics could fill a large bucket. But, as you said, not that it really matters that the list isn't 100% accurate, as it's the programming that is forefront of this Rosetta Code task, ... but still it would be nice if the data were more accurate. |

Anyway, thanks for your research. |
|||
By the way, I've updated the list of names to again include Cantonese for this task with your information. |

It was interesting on how much our two lists differ, even with the names that appear to be (more or less) in "common". -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:35, 18 September 2017 (UTC) |
