Dyak (clerk) → Diak (clerk) – WP:COMMONNAME: the most common form in English-language reliable sources[1] (corresponds to the modified Library of Congress romanization system widely used in academic and popular-academic literature). —Michael Z. 22:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- The proposed spelling has consistently represented 55% to 100% of usage of these two spellings in reliable sources.[2] —Michael Z. 04:30, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- (This proportional graph doesn’t make sense before about 1860, apparently because the overall usage was so low that the smoothed wildly swinging curves are distorted beyond usefulness. Set smoothing to 0 to see the fine-grained data.) —Michael Z. 17:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure as your ngram shows that the spelling with y has seen increased usage lately. Alaexis¿question? 09:16, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, again, after numerous other increases. Yet the proposal has remained the most common spelling for two centuries, and remains the most common by 63% to 37% in 2019, the latest year of data. —Michael Z. 14:51, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support per well-researched nomination. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:24, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support. Nom convincingly demonstrates that "diak" is, and has consistently been, the most common spelling. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 17:01, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
