Pre-colonial name of New Caledonia/Grande-Terre

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, I am trying to find out among the finest scholars of the subject if before the European term of New Caledonia and the Kanak term of Kanaky, there existed a precolonial term to designate the archipelago or at least the Grand Terre. SuperSygma (talk) 16:20, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

No, there wasn't any. New Caledonia was inhabited by people who spoke more than 30 very different languages with little mutual intelligibility. ព្រះមហាក្សត្ររាជ (talk) 17:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Kanaky

Should Kanaky be an alternative name added in the first sentence of this article? Even if not official? I know that it's mentioned later on. Gamalny (talk) 23:54, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
