[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] Changes to Myanmar Naga group names in Ethnologue

Fri Feb 3 11:40:39 UTC 2017

Lots of good thoughts here. I'll try to respond soon. For now, let me
announce one more Ethnologue name change made in consultation with members
of the community and Stephen Morey.

[nst] will change from Tase Naga to
In India: Tangsa Naga
In Myanmar: Tangshang Naga

Tase is the Kimsing/Cyamcyang subtribe's pronunciation of Tangsa, and is
not the normal name for the group. We have wanted to make the change for
some time, but it has been complicated to sort out because the names used
are different in each country.

We ran out of time to make any changes to use of Naga/Chin/Karen in this
year's Ethnologue, since the discussion began only recently and tonight is
the deadline, but I hope we can make further headway in future months for
next year's edition.

Thanks,
Nathan
