Bias in the comparative linguistics section

[edit]

The part of the page on Alexander Hilferding's work on comparative linguistics is written extremely oddly. It reads almost like someone praising him as a king. It praises him for his knowledge of Slavic languages and especially the dialects of Russian. And then states that "his essay stands unsurpassed today and unduly forgotten." There are other minor examples of bias among other oddities, but this was the most obvious example. Adamcoxj0808 (talk) 23:30, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
