Ethnologue still lists "Nyika" as a legitimate alternate name for Kigiryama, but it would be better to mark it as pejorative. This is also true for "Wanyika", which, however, is not (yet?) listed in Ethnologue

Editorial Action

We will mark "Nyika" - and related forms - as pejorative for Kigiryama [nyf] in Kenya, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.

Dear Ralph,

Thank you for this information on the alternate name "Nyika" for Kigiryama [nyf] in Kenya.

Ethnologue also has "Nika" and "Kinyika" which I will also mark as `pejorative'.

Best regards,

Chuck Fennig
Managing Editor, Ethnologue
