Suggested change of name of the page

edit

I suggest to change the name of this page to ″Awetí language″ (with an acute accent, not "Awetï" with a diaeresis on the "i") -- as the article states, the name of the language is often rendered as "Aweti", identical to the name of the group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aweti). This is also the name used in much of the literature on the group and the language, in particular in Portuguese (see for instance [1], [2]). In English, however, more often the form "Awetí" is used, in order to guide the pronunciation which should stress the final syllable (this is done automatically in Portuguese). This is the usage in Glottolog: [3] and most sources cited there. If nobody objects, I will go ahead in a couple of days and do this change. SeDru (talk) 21:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

The two 'variants' listed in the first line of the text have no diacriticals. They are identical and without explanation or correction it looks ridiculous.Toyokuni3 (talk) 03:34, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I agree. Make it Awetí or Aweti, not Awetï. Language Boi (talk) 22:15, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Will anybody actually put this change into effect? It's been a while. DracoUnrealMaster (talk) 20:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
