The article states (citing a source about Basque) that Aragonese has no native words with initial R. However, there are words: radiz, rayo, razón, recibir, reconeixer, royo... Are they non-native? Burzuchius (talk) 09:36, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Considering that the Orthography section specifies that /r/ is represented in writing as "r" word-initially, and given the number of native words (including the ones you listed, which are, yes, native) that begin with "r", that seems nonsensical. What doesn't occur word-initially is /ɾ/.
Even besides that, the comparison, at least the one with Basque, wouldn't have been useful, amounting to "This language lacks feature X, and, by the way, here's a completely unrelated language that lack feature X." And then the source is only about Basque but has no information related to the claim with regard to Aragonese. Largoplazo (talk) 12:45, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
