RfC on the terminology of Indian Astronauts - 'Vyomanauts' or 'Astronauts'
Use "astronaut" as everyday English found in all dictionaries and understood by essentially everyone. An obscure "Sanskritlish" cross-language neologism (seems to be about two years old) recognisable to nearly no one is not helpful to our readers (except perhaps in a parenthetical or footnote about the alternative term). This is not comparable to "cosmonaut", which entered English (rapidly) in the early 1960s and has been with us since, widely recognisable. "Vyomanaut" is in a class with Chinese "taikonaut", generally found only in specialist materials, and isolated news items that explain the term. — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 02:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
