Move to "Siwi language"

[edit]

The Siwi language is observably not called "Siwa language" in English. All significant linguistic work on Siwi written in English has termed it "Siwi" (Walker 1921, Malim 2001, Naumann 2012, Souag 2013, Souag & van Putten 2016, Schiattarella 2016); Vycichl 2005 uses the terms "Siwi" throughout, while putting "Siwi Berber" in the title. The rare alternative "Siwan language" is mentioned in passing by Vycichl, and was used by Stanley (1912). I accordingly suggest that this article should be moved back to "Siwi language", from which it was moved ca. 2012 with no explanation that I can see . - Lameen Souag (talk) 14:08, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see this has now been moved - thank you, User:Aṭlas! - Lameen Souag (talk) 08:40, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
