[edit] Shouldn't this be titled Nehalem language?

As I understand it Tillamook is the Chinookan name for these people, who in their own language were the Nehalem (tribe) (already on the Nehalem dismabiguation page). Wouldn't it be "ethnologically correct" to call them by their own name, rather than by somebody else's name for them?Skookum1 16:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nonsense

The "rounded" consonants, including /w/, are not labialized—the effect is created entirely inside the mouth by cupping the tongue.

This sentence is completely meaningless, what is it supposed to mean? Are they really rounding their tongues when speaking?
