Viemo language name

Alternate Names
ISO 639-3: 
vig

Hi,

I was speaking with speakers of [vig] today who are involved in orthography and language development in the language.  One of our topics today was the name of the language itself.  Their autonym of the language, written in the orthography, is viemɔ̃.  When I showed them the Ethnologue name, they said that theyʼd prefer to see it saying the following:

Main name: Viemɔ̃

Alternate names: Viemon (the name in French orthography), Vigué (the name of the people group in French), Vige (the name of the people group in the orthography of Jula, the trade language).

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thank you very much!

Susie

Editorial Action

We will add the autonym and other alternate names for Viemo [vig] in Burkina Faso, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
