Talk:Semiahmoo people

Merger proposal
I propose that Semiahmoo people be merged into Semiahmoo First Nation. The First Nation and the people are one and the same. Everything in this article fits easily into existing categories in Semiahmoo First Nation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bern99 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * While that was my first impression years ago, because the Semiahmoo people are north and also south of the Canada-US border, then the Semiahmoo First Nation government would not apply to the people in the USA. And the division is similar to other standardized articles. Canuckle (talk) 16:41, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
Just noticed this - (/ˌsɛmiˈɑːmoʊ/ sem-ee-ah-moh) - which may be the case in their language, but in English the customary pronunciation of the placename and the people name is "sem-ee-ah-moh" (/ˌsɛmiˈɑːmʊ/ or (/ˌsɛmiˈɑːmu / - I don't know the right IPA for the "oo" (as in "moo" like a cow). Where did the given pronunciation come from?Skookum1 (talk) 07:50, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Moo is in IPA. I will make the correction in the article. Indefatigable (talk) 20:24, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * K, and just to note that's the English pronunciation, I don't know about how it should be in NSS. On the First People's Voices site they give another name Seymome, which I haven't seen anywhere else; it's not necessarily correct and/or might be a counterintuitive pronunciation that's the same anyway; it could be from WSANEC (Saanich) rather than the Semiahmoo's own dialect of NSS I dunno.Skookum1 (talk) 21:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
