Very bad article
[edit]I think this article is very bad for the following reasons:
First of all, the name should be "Kampan languages". It can be found in the literarture as "Campa, Campan, Kampa or Kampan". Regarding "Campa" and "Kampa", these are the Spanish names, to which -n should be added in English. However, this is not the worst thing, given that several names are used in the literature.
The listed languages must be as in the Glottolog: Nanti, Caquinte, Nomatsiguenga, Machigenga, Asháninka and Ashéninka. The article separates Axininca, but this must be included in Ashéninka. The article lists Pucapucari, and the link brings to Nanti, which is the name used in the literature. Moreover, the article says that "Ethnologue adds Nanti", which is the same as Pucapucari.
The article gives the only reference of the Glottolog, but what the Glottolog says isn't reflected in the article. Kaufman (1994) is quoted, but the reference is not given.
In the following days, when I find the time, I'm going to change the article radically in the lines expressed above. If someone has something to say, please say it. Manissero (talk) 13:13, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Campa languages → Pre-Andine languages – "Campa" is offensive; new name is used by Glottolog and many modern sources 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 17:38, 3 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 18:16, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
