Name of language Capampangan / Kapampangan is listed as Pampanga, which is incorrect
While editing my profile: https:/
I noticed that Pampanga is listed as a language. This is not correct. Pampanga is the region in the Philippines where the language is most widely spoken. The language itself is called Capampangan (and just to make it more complicated, it's also written with a K - Kapampangan, because of Tagalog influence).
If you can't use two names for the same language here, you may choose to use yet another way to write it: "Pampango". I'm not sure where this name comes from or whether it's really correct, but it's still widely understood (and often used, maybe particularly by non-natives). Another variation which is probably more correct and avoids the C/K issue is Pampangan.
In Capampangan, the language is actually called Amanung Sisuan, although most people outside academia still calls it Capampangan.
Good luck choosing a name! :)
