In a situation like the one described here, "The Huave people . . . call themselves Ikoots, meaning "us" — refer to their language as ombeayiiüts, meaning "our language", wouldn't it be better to say "The Huave people have no name for their language or for their ethnic group, referring to themselves simply as "us" (Ikoots) and to their language as "our language" (ombeayiiüts)"? Is there some sense in which Ikoots and ombeayiiüts function as proper nouns in the language?

- It is pretty common that selfnomers have such a styleee in thee world. Inuit juste mean "humans" for example. Anyway according to the sources I have used ikoots is used as a selfname because it contrasts with words for indians and nonindian outsiders.Maunus 06:56, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin
In the mid-1970's, according to some of the more litterate among Tehuanos (inhabitants of Tehuantepec), the Huaves came from the south by sea migration. This is still what the Mexican government seems to think: Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México: ESTADO DE OAXACA: SAN MATEO DEL MAR. Local cultural authorities do too: Oaxaca Turist Guide: Pueblos Indígenas: Huaves Can this be substantiated, or at least mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michel Tavir (talk • contribs) 10:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
