Lifted from Архайæг:Saforrest:

I just created this page for occasional edits. I'm afraid I don't speak Ossetic (or any Slavic language).
Ossetic is not Slavic, it's Iranian. Anyway, thank you so much for your help! - Amikeco 20:05, 28 Фев 2005 (UTC)
My sincere apologies! The resemblance to the Russian logo in choice of characters deceived me; I guess it must have a few Slavic loanwords. Thanks for letting me know. --Saforrest 20:37, 10 Мар 2005 (UTC)
Yes, there are plenty of loan words from the Russian (or through the Russian), including the word энциклопеди itself. Still the core of the language is East Iranian with much influence from the indigeonous Caucasian languages, Turk languages, etc. --Amikeco 22:44, 10 Мар 2005 (UTC)
