Proposed move to Bunong from Pnong

edit

Punong/Phnong/Pnong is a transliteration from the Khmer name for Bunong people, not from the Bunong name for Bunong people. Pnong is often used in a derogatory sense in Khmer, and has lost its specificity to the Bunong people, often used generically for "indigenous". Bunong is used more frequently in published literature (680 results on Google Scholar, versus 281 results for Pnong and 508 results for Phnong). On the main Google search engine, there are 200,000+ results for Bunong, but only 69,000 for Pnong, and 35,000 for Phnong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.37.179.52 (talk) 02:31, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
