- What about several terms in Category:en:Languages like Algerian Arabic, Central Kurdish, Eastern Armenian, East Central German? -84.161.29.236 22:05, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Keep. "North Estonian" (noun) as the name of a specific dialect group of Estonian is not a sum of parts, since it is a distinct sense from "North Estonian" (adjective) to refer to anything from the northern parts of Estonia. Someone can be in southern Estonia and still speak North Estonian, which needs a specific linguistic definition. Compare for example Southern American English or Appalachian English as not being a sum of parts either (i.e. Appalachian English is not simply any kind of English spoken in Appalachia, but is rather a specific dialect of English from Appalachia).

- My apologies, I think I've been hasty on that one. I'll abstain for now (verging on keep). --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 22:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

- This seems to be a set term in linguistics for a specific (grouping of) lect(s) like the other things mentioned above (East Central German, Southern American English, etc), so keep. - -sche (discuss) 19:22, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
