The languages referred to in this article as "Central Lakes Plains" are called "East Tariku" in Clouse's 1997 article. It's not clear why a different name was input to this Wikipedia article - no reference is cited for the change. The name "Central" can only cause confusion with the languages Clouse calls "Central Tariku" (Edopi, Iau) - which are called "Turu" in this article. Unless someone can give a reference for the name change, the name will revert to "East Tariku". MarcusCole12 05:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC) MarcusCole12 05:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

OK - I now see "Central Lakes Plains" comes from the earlier terminology in Silzer & Clouse 1991. Updating to the more recent terminology from the Clouses' later articles. MarcusCole12 22:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
