• Agnean language → Tocharian A
• Kuchean language → Tocharian B

– The common names of these languages in the scholarly literature are "Tocharian A" and "Tocharian B", as can be seen from the reference lists of these articles, and indeed almost any work on these languages or Indo-European more generally. WP:NCLANG says to add "language" to the name in cases of ambiguity, but that does not apply to these names. Kanguole 10:15, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

• Support. I'm not sure I've ever even encountered 'Agnean' before (Kuchean yes). Srnec (talk) 14:12, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

  Comment: I don't mind if the change of names happened for both articles. The reason why I named the article Agnean is mainly because I used the French article as a template, which names it as Agnean (similar to the French version of Kuchean). The Tocharian language also has an alternate name that is Agnean-Kuchean and we could keep the names the same as it is more unique, but it is up to other editors on what the name of the article should be.
