rename to Chahar?

I propose renaming this article to Chahar. Writing Chahar seems far more popular around the net, and since they live in Inner Mongolia, there seems no reason to use 'kh' insteas of 'h'. Yaan 17:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

• Strong oppose there are two cited sources in the article: Ethnologue (which mentions a bunch of alternative spellings precisely once), and Uradyn Erden Bulag (who actually prefers "Tsahar" throughout his book and uses Chakhar only in a footnote on one page when quoting another source). Ngrams shows Chahar as the WP:COMMONNAME . 59.149.117.119 (talk) 00:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose Not even close to becoming an alternative name, let alone becoming common name. Azuredivay (talk) 07:02, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
