Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Moved per request. I guess we won't have many experts on Mayan orthography involved, so there's no point in relisting. Duja► 16:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kaibil B'alam → Kayb'il B'alam — If this person's name is to reflect the standardised orthography for Mayan languages (per ALMG), then Kayb'il B'alam would be the more accurate rendition. In this orthography <b> should always be <b'>, and Mayan languages in general do not have CV₁V₂ syllables. The current title is a mix of orthographical conventions. cjllw | TALK 08:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

* '''Oppose'''&nbsp Although the correct orthogaraphy may be "Kayb'il B'alam" more people are familar with its original spelling "Kaibil Balam". Specifically those from Guatemala. The spelling of "Kaibil Balam" is much more common than the other- I have yet to find any books or websources with the "Kayb'il B'alam" spelling.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.18.114.99 (talk • contribs) 6 March 2007.

I agree, this page should be moved to Kaibil Balam as most are used to the traditional spelling.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tranquilo man (talk • contribs) 24 March 2007.
