Halmahera Sea languages → Raja Ampat-South Halmahera languages – The name 'Raja Ampat-South Halmahera' is standard for this language branch (e.g. https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/raja1255). This move is blocked, for reasons I don't understand. Squishtavia (talk) 18:58, 11 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support. "Raja Ampat-South Halmahera" (RASH) is the term generally used for this subgroup in sources about South Halmahera–West New Guinea (SHWNG) languages, including the very sources cited in this article. I'm not aware of any specialist source that actually uses "Halmahera Sea languages", and the few non-specialist sources that use it are most probably cases of WP:CITOGENESIS. –Austronesier (talk) 20:37, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Comment: Rather than a hyphen it should be should be Raja Ampat–South Halmahera languages with an n dash. See generally MOS:ENBETWEEN. SilverLocust 🃏 💬 21:41, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
