Tocodede language → Tokodede language – Tokodede with a "k" is the name used in recent major publications. "C" is pronounced "j" as in "James" in Indonesian and is used in old colonial sources. Sagotreespirit (talk) 21:22, 23 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Tokodede is the spelling used in: Edwards, Owen (2018). Reintroducing Welaun. Oceanic Linguistics, Volume 58, Number 1, June 2019, pp. 31-58. https://doi.org/10.1353/ol.2019.0002 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sagotreespirit (talk • contribs) 21:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment+Agree The Portuguese-based spelling of [ka]–[ke]–[ki]–[ko]–[ku] as ca–que–qui–co–cu is still very common in place and family names, so the spelling "Tocodede" is no source of confusion for the East Timorese. The East Timor goverment website has no consistent spelling, varying between "C" and "K" (Note even that the Portugese version of the second page has "Rádio de Comunidade de Tokodede"). In any case the majority of sources (specialist and non-specialist) employs the spelling "Tokodede", so I agree to move the page to "Tokodede languages". –Austronesier (talk) 11:55, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
