Editing Gbe languages (section)

===Naming===
The dialect continuum as a whole was called 'Ewe' by [[Diedrich Hermann Westermann|Westermann]], the most influential researcher on the cluster, who used the term 'Standard Ewe' to refer to the written form of the language. Other linguists have called the Gbe languages as a whole 'Aja', after the name of the local language of the Aja-Tado area in Benin. However, use of this single language's name for the language cluster as a whole was not only not acceptable to all speakers but also rather confusing. Since the establishment of a [[working group]] at the West African Languages Congress at [[Cotonou]] in 1980, H. B. Capo's name suggestion has been generally accepted: {{'}}''Gbe''{{'}}, which is the word for 'language/dialect' in each of the languages.<ref>In daily use, individual Gbe languages are referred to by their speakers as X-gbe, e.g. ''Ewegbe'' for Ewe, ''Fongbe'' for Fon, etc.</ref>
