Talk:Otomi/Archive 1

I moved this page from Hñähñu
Otomi is the most accepted term in english and spanish, moreover the autonym Hñähñu only covers one of the Otomi speaking groups others have other autonyms like ñatho (Otomi of Toluca), n'yühü (Otomi of the sierra madre), ñahno (mezquital). David Wright Carr even writes that the 1996 congress of Otomies opted for the name Otomi rather than one of the distinct autonyms, and that many Otomies use the word Otomi when speaking spanish and their autonym only when speaking Otomi.Maunus 10:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with Maunus on the rationale and sense in the page move to Otomi. There is no clear autonymic version, and per the peoples' own usage Otomi is acceptable.--cjllw | TALK  23:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Otomí, or Otomi?
I happen to think of the name as Otomí, as per Spanish usage I've often seen in Mexico. Is it standard procedure to lose the accent in English?

If we're losing the accent, are we still pronouncing it as those it's there? Varlaam (talk) 05:39, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * We generally use Spanish orthography (eg retain accents) for Spanish words and names, but since otomi comes from Nahuatl not Spanish then practice has been not to use the accents if the originating language (or English) does not require/use them. Thus, Nahuatl not Náhuatl, Teotihuacan not Teotihuacán, etc. Re pronunciation, I'll just copy over the description given at the corresponding Otomi language article. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 01:45, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Vague sentence
What does this mean?:
 * "At times, settlement areas would be confused as locations remote of habitation."

If you know, feel free to clarify it. – AndyFielding (talk) 07:59, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * :-) I also was confused. The cited article says this: "One might be in the center of a considerable settlement and yet consider himself in a region practically devoid of habitation." I'm fixing it Yama Plos   talk  15:58, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
