Editing Chinook Jargon (section)

==Name==
Most books written in English still use the term Chinook Jargon, but some linguists working with the preservation of a [[creolized]] form of the language used in [[Grand Ronde, Oregon]], prefer the term ''Chinuk Wawa'' (with the spelling 'Chinuk' instead of 'Chinook'). Historical speakers did not use the name ''Chinook Wawa'', but rather ''"the Wawa"'' or ''"Lelang"'' (from Fr. {{Lang|fr|la langue}}, the language, or tongue).{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}} ''Wawa'' also means speech or words; "have a wawa" means "hold a parley", even in modern idiomatic English,<ref name="lillard"/><!--I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and no one who I have spoken to recognizes that phrase.--><!--cite available for that usage is from Begbie's/Bushby's field notes c.1859-60, don't have 'em here--> ''Lelang'' also means the physical bodypart, the tongue.<ref name="chinuk wawa dictionary project">{{Cite book |title=Chinuk Wawa / kakwa nsayka ulman-tili̩xam ɬaska munk-kəmtəks nsayka / As Our Elders Teach Us to Speak It |publisher=Chinuk Wawa Dictionary Project / University of Washington Press |date=2012 |isbn=9780295991863}}</ref>

The name for the Jargon varied throughout the territory in which it was used. For example: ''skokum hiyu'' in the [[Boston Bar, British Columbia|Boston Bar]]-[[Lytton, British Columbia|Lytton]] area of the [[Fraser Canyon]]. In many areas it was simply "the old trade language" or "the Hudson Bay language".<!--I'll try and get cite backup for that; it's first person reportage from Siska BC--><!--This is what I've heard it called in Klemtu and Bella Coola -->
