What is Language Nomenclature Revisions about?

This editorial comment discusses potential improvements to the naming of two languages. It suggests replacing the term "Costanoan" with the more concise name "Costano" based on the Spanish word for coast, since place names like Diegueño and Luiseño are readily accepted. It also prefers the name "Occitan" over "Occitanian" for a language, based on a new book using the shorter name. The comment aims to periodically revise scholarly terminology for languages as understandings evolve over time.
