Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Tibetan script — The entry states that the script has been used for Nepali, but Nepali is typically written in Devanagari, not the Tibetan script, and there is no widely known canonical evidence of Tibetan script being used for Nepali.

Tibetan script — The entry claims that traditional accounts and scholarly consensus do not support the claim that this development took place at Pabonka Hermitage, but traditional accounts actually do associate Pabonka Hermitage with Thonmi Sambhota's work.

Tigrinya language — The claim that Tigrinya 'has been recognized as an official or working language in Eritrea' is imprecise: Eritrea does not have any officially declared national or working languages at the federal level according to its constitution; Tigrinya is a de facto wor

Tongan language — The word order is stated as verb–subject–object, but Tongan is actually verb–object–subject (VOS).

Tongan language — The claim that Tongan has three registers (ordinary, honorific, regal) is incorrect; Tongan has two registers: ordinary and honorific (the so-called 'regal' register is not a distinct register but a subset of honorific used for the king, and is not traditional

Xhosa language — Xhosa is listed as an official language of Zimbabwe, but it is only a recognized minority language, not an official language.

Xhosa language — The claim that Xhosa has 'perhaps the heaviest functional load of click consonants in a Bantu language (approximately tied with Yeyi)' is not a widely established factual consensus and is an overstatement or imprecise claim.

Xiang Chinese — The entry claims that during the Ming dynasty, large-scale emigration from Jiangxi to Hunan brought Gan influence leading to the differentiation of New Xiang, but this differentiation is generally attributed to later contact with Mandarin and other northern di

Yakut language — Yakut and Dolgan form a separate branch (North Siberian or Yakut-Dolgan), while Shor and Tuvan belong to the South Siberian subgroup; the grouping 'Northeastern Common Turkic' is not a standard term and the listed languages are not all in the same branch.

Yakut language — The name 'O. Boethlink' is a misspelling; the correct name is Otto von Böhtlingk.

Zhuang languages — The claim that Northern varieties lack aspirated stops is inaccurate; many Northern Zhuang varieties do have aspirated stops, though they are less common than in Southern varieties.

Zhuang languages — The claim that Jerold A. Edmondson posited the split between Zhuang and Southwestern Tai languages happened no earlier than 112 BC is not a widely established or verifiable fact in mainstream linguistic canon.

Zulu language — The entry states that Zulu became one of South Africa's 12 official languages in 1994, but South Africa has 11 official languages.

Zulu language — The entry says the first grammar book was published in Norway in 1850 by Hans Schreuder, but it was actually published in South Africa (Port Natal/Durban).
