# List of generic articles used when the language of the title is unknown (or
# we don't have information about articles in that language).
# XXX: Managing titles in a lot of different languages, a function to recognize
# an initial article can't be perfect; sometimes we'll stumble upon a short
# word that is an article in some language, but it's not in another; in these
# situations we have to choose if we want to interpret this little word
# as an article or not (remember that we don't know what the original language
# of the title was).
# Example: 'en' is (I suppose) an article in Some Language.  Unfortunately it
# seems also to be a preposition in other languages (French?).
# Running a script over the whole list of titles (and aliases), I've found
# that 'en' is used as an article only 376 times, and as another thing 594
# times, so I've decided to _always_ consider 'en' as a non article.
#
# Here is a list of words that are _never_ considered as articles, complete
# with the cound of times they are used in a way or another:
# 'en' (376 vs 594), 'to' (399 vs 727), 'as' (198 vs 276), 'et' (79 vs 99),
# 'des' (75 vs 150), 'al' (78 vs 304), 'ye' (14 vs 70),
# 'da' (23 vs 298), "'n" (8 vs 12)
#
# I've left in the list 'i' (1939 vs 2151) and 'uno' (52 vs 56)
# I'm not sure what '-al' is, and so I've left it out...
#
