Emerillon language → Teko languageTeko language – Teko is the common name and the name preferred by the people themselves. Google Scholar has 848 hits for Emerillon language and 35,800 hits for Teko language.

Note: "Teko language" presently redirects to Tektitek language. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 02:31, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

I see no objection to this myself. Simply, I added quote marks to "Teko language" on Scholar (to make sure we're looking for the phrase "Teko language", and not just any case of the two words cooccurring in the same paper), and then "Teko language" drops to 9 results. "Emerillon language" has 14 results, so we're in the same area.

That said, it seems OK to rename the page. This author used Emerillon in her earlier work, and seems to have now shifted to "Teko".

@Womtelo Since Teko language already redirects to Tektitek language, I'm wondering if "Teko language" should be a disambiguation page? Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 13:10, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I thought the same. Reminds me of other ambiguous language names, like Koro language. Then we'd have Teko language (Tupian) vs. Teko language (Mayan), for example. - Womtelo (talk) 14:19, 23 April 2026 (UTC).

• Weak oppose. Glottolog's listed sources overwhelmingly use "Emerillion" as the language name, although I would support a rename if the name were more common. The Scholar results appear to show admixture with sources for the Tektitek language of Guatemala and Mexico, and the latter refers to Tektitek under the name "Teko", making it ambiguous. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 19:17, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

• Support per both WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONSISTENT as the title for the article about the people is already at Teko people. --PoliticalPoint (talk) 20:32, 25 April 2026 (UTC) —  Blocked sockpuppet of Justthefacts, see investigation. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 14:38, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
