Ten'edn and Kensiu language

Ten'edn is "also known as Kensiu and Mos in Thailand and, in some previous literature".
Kensiu language#Alternate names "has also been referred to as ... Mos"

Different language codes, but confusing similarities. Articles should refer to each other and/or clarify.

Dpleibovitz (talk) 05:48, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dpleibovitz: First, it has to be considered that both Kensiu and Ten'edn are part of the Northern Aslian branch, and spoken in the far south of Thailand (as well as across the border in Malaysia) by the "Negrito-like" Maniq people, and Ten'edn is unclassified within that branch, so Kensiu and Ten'edn are certainly closely related and may even be very closely related (in fact, Glottolog places them in the same subbranch within Northern Aslian), and are certainly quite similar, and are spoken close to each other, so it is not surprising that they are often confused or conflated.

In any case, it is true that both are sometimes known as Mos, especially in Thailand (Mos may go back to a more generic term; it seems to be the name of a variety of Ten'edn), but that alone isn't very remarkable. Similarly, both can be referred to as "Maniq" (so it is not clear to me that the source cited at Ten'edn on odour terms is really about Ten'edn rather than Kensiu, an apparently better known language, or even about yet another Northern Aslian language such as Jahai; compare Olfactory language). It does not seem to be true that Ten'edn is also known as Kensiu, though. In any case, the article Jahaic languages acknowledges the issue in its introduction.

So, is this problem solved now? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 05:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
