Proposing move

[edit]

Would it be okay to move this article to Mashco-Piro people, to disambiguate it from the Mashco Piro language? Cheers, -Uyvsdi (talk) 19:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

It's been a week with no objections, so I'll go ahead and make the move. -Uyvsdi (talk) 21:32, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

Unclear

[edit]
"'Mashco' ... is considered a derogatory term."

In the context, it is not clear whether the term is derogatory as the tribe name or the language name (or both), or whether it is derogatory in hyphenated combination with "Piro" or only derogatory by itself. If derogatory in combination, then surely the article itself should be retitled? 86.160.213.112 (talk) 12:45, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article states mashco-piro is derogatory

[edit]

Should we nott refer to them as Nomole or otherwise? Like, who wrote that info then left it as mashco-piro as the given name despite them knowing better 2600:8800:2280:33A0:3394:F94C:3F9B:E67C (talk) 13:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently their Yine neighbors, who can communicate with the group, refer to them as Nomole, meaning “brothers”, to avoid offending them by calling them Mashco Piro, which means “wild” or “savage” in Yine. 98.123.38.211 (talk) 17:06, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
