Common Names of Chile Peppers

It wasn’t actually the OP who made the request but it is OK. :)

I was only making the point that in some places indigenous “common names” indeed exist for native plants and insects and all manner of things. (This is a tolok.)

And in some cases there are things for which there is no other word in Spanish, nor or English, so the indigenous common name of course should be used, unquestionably, because nothing else would make sense. If you called that thing anything else within its native range or country of origin, everyone would be confused.

There are other examples; I just chose the first one that came to mind. I had no intention of starting a whole discussion of “Chiles of Mexico”, hahaha!

But it was interesting to see how unknown the variety of wild chiles are outside of Mexico, because only the cultivars grown in the north make it to export. The others are not as economically beneficial.
