Shoshoni not spoken in California[edit]

Shoshoni was not and is not spoken in California. See all the bibliography listed in this article for proof. You won't find one single bit of proof otherwise. Timbisha was spoken in California, NOT Shoshoni. (Taivo (talk) 03:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Shoshone language → Shoshoni language — Per WP:NCON, "Shoshoni" is the most common spelling for the name of the language among academic sources. --Taivo (talk) 20:22, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support As proposer. Note the spelling used throughout the currently published grammars of the language:

Richley H. Crapo. 1976. Big Smokey Valley Shoshoni. Desert Research Institute Publications in the Social Sciences 10. Reno: University of Nevada Press.
Beverly Crum & Jon Dayley. 1993. Western Shoshoni Grammar. Boise State University Occasional Papers and Monographs in Cultural Anthropology and Linguistics Volume No. 1. Boise, Idaho: Department of Anthropology, Boise State University. (Their two volumes of texts and songs also use the spelling "Shoshoni".)
Wick R. Miller. 1972. Newe Natekwinappeh: Shoshoni Stories and Dictionary. University of Utah Anthropological Papers 94. Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press.
Dirk Allen Elzinga. 1999. "The Consonants of Gosiute", University of Arizona Ph.D. dissertation.
Drusilla Gould & Christopher Loether. 2002. An Introduction to the Shoshoni Language: Dammen Daigwape. Salt Lake City, Utah: The University of Utah Press.

Both Bevery Crum and Drusilla Gould are native speakers and both use "Shoshoni" for the name of the language.

Only older linguistic works use "Shoshone".
