:This looks fine to me, but just to be sure I'm not missing anything (because there's a lot of various small elements involved): you basically want to add those citations to the non-English names in the current footnote as well as adding the Assyrian name among them? Just confirm to me that's your intention and then I'll go ahead and add this. Thanks, [[User:R Prazeres|R Prazeres]] ([[User talk:R Prazeres|talk]]) 21:55, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
::correct [[User:SelfishSalamander|SelfishSalamander]] ([[User talk:SelfishSalamander|talk]]) 03:13, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
:::{{done}} Great, done, and thanks. I've made some minor adjustments purely for citation formatting. 
:::I have one follow-up request: could you provide more details for the source you cited for the Zaza pronounciation? You wrote "Zazaca -Türkçe Sözlük, R. Hayıg-B. Werner", but it's not clear if this is a book, a web source, if there's a specific page, etc. Anything you can provide to narrow it down would help; if there's a link to a record of it somewhere, an ISBN, or a citation of it in another book, that might be enough for me to fill in most details.

::::the Zaza pronounciation was a mistake, you can remove it [[User:SelfishSalamander|SelfishSalamander]] ([[User talk:SelfishSalamander|talk]]) 00:48, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
::::and say Kurdish and Zaza instead of Kurdish for the name [[User:SelfishSalamander|SelfishSalamander]] ([[User talk:SelfishSalamander|talk]]) 00:49, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
