@bouteloua I think there is a need for a clean-up and clarification of the five different languages called Tonga.
From Wiki
Tonga may refer to five different languages:
- Tongan language, or Tonga (ISO 639-3:
ton) – a Polynesian language spoken in Tonga in the South Pacific - Tonga language (Zambia and Zimbabwe), or Chitonga (ISO 639-3:
toi) – a Bantu language spoken in Zambia and Zimbabwe - Tonga language (Malawi), (ISO 639-3:
tog) – a dialect of Chitumbuka (Tumbuka) language spoken in Nkhata Bay District in Malawi - Tonga language (Mozambique), or Gitonga (ISO 639-3:
toh) – a Bantu language spoken in Mozambique - Ten’edn, also known as Tonga or Mos (ISO 639-3:
tnz) – a Mon-Khmer language spoken in Thailand and Malaysia - Which language in the iNat list is Tongan ? How is somebody in southern Africa expected to know that it probably refers to the Polynesian Tonga ? The word Tongan is also used in Africa. Perhaps already animal and plant names in the three distinct southern African Tonga languages are already mixed up and need some sorting out and correction.
Perhaps we need at least 4 names, labelled as - Tonga (Mozambique)
- Tonga (Malawi)
- Tonga (Zambia and Zimbabwe)
- Tonga (Polynesian)
These are different and unrelated languages that unfortunately just happen to have the same name.
