Editing Taos Pueblo (section)

===Spanish language===
The name ''Taos'' in English was borrowed from Spanish ''Taos''. Spanish ''Taos'' is probably a borrowing of Taos ''tə̂o-'' "village" which was heard as ''tao'' to which the plural ''-s'' was added although in the modern language ''Taos'' is no longer a plural noun. It has been proposed that the Spanish ''Taos'' comes from ''tao,'' "cross of the order of San Juan de los Caballeros" (from Greek ''tau''),<ref>Jones, William. (1960). "Origin of the place name Taos", ''Anthropological Linguistics'', ''2'' (3), 2–4; Trager, George L. (1960). "The name of Taos, New Mexico", ''Anthropological Linguistics'', ''2'' (3), 5–6.</ref> but that is unlikely to be the case.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
