Editing Delaware languages (section)

===Ethnonyms===
Names for the speakers of Munsee and Unami are used in complex ways in both [[English language|English]] and the Lenape language. The Unami dialect (called a language by non-native speaker students of Lenape) is sometimes called ''Delaware'' or ''Delaware proper,'' reflecting the original application of the term ''Delaware'' to Unami speakers.<ref>Goddard, Ives, 1978, p. 73; Kraft, Herbert, 1986, p. xviii</ref> Both Munsee and Unami speakers use ''Delaware'' if enrolled and ''Lenape'' if not enrolled as a self-designation in English.<ref>Goddard, Ives, 1974, p. 103</ref>

The Unamis residing in Oklahoma are sometimes referred to as ''Oklahoma Delaware'', while the Munsees in Ontario are sometimes referred to as ''Ontario Delaware'' or ''Canadian Delaware.''<ref>See e.g. Goddard, Ives, 1971, p. 11, n. 1-2; Goddard, Ives, 1974, p. 103</ref>

Munsee-speaking residents of Moraviantown use the English term ''Munsee'' to refer to residents of Munceytown, approximately {{convert|50|km|abbr=on}} to the east and refer to themselves in English as "Delaware", and in Munsee as {{IPA|/lənáːpeːw/|lang=umn}} 'Delaware person, Indian'.<ref>Goddard, Ives, 1971, p. 11, n. 1</ref> Oklahoma Delawares refer to Ontario Delaware as {{IPA|/mwə́nsi/|lang=umn}} or {{IPA|/mɔ́nsi/|lang=umn}}, terms that are also used for people of Munsee ancestry in their own communities.

Some Delawares at Moraviantown also use the term [[Christian Munsee|''Christian Indian'']] as a preferred self-designation in English.<ref>Goddard, Ives, 1974, p. 106</ref> The equivalent Munsee term is {{lang|umu|ké·ntə̆we·s}}, meaning "one who prays, Moravian convert".<ref>Goddard, Ives, 1978a, p. 237</ref>

Munsee speakers refer to Oklahoma Delawares as ''Unami'' in English or {{IPA|/wə̆ná·mi·w/|lang=umu}} in Munsee. The [[Oklahoma]] Delawares refer to themselves in English as ''Delaware'' and in Unami as {{IPA|/ləná·p·e/|lang=unm}}.<ref>Goddard, Ives, 1971, p. 11, n. 2</ref>

The name ''[[Lenape]]'', which is sometimes used in English for both Delaware languages together, is the name Unami speakers also use for their own language in English,<ref>Mithun, Marianne, 1999</ref><ref>[http://delawaretribe.org/ Delaware Tribe of Indians]: [http://www.talk-lenape.org/ Lenape talking dictionary]</ref> whereas Munsee speakers call their language in English {{lang|umu|Lunaapeew}}.<ref>[http://lenape.ca/ Lenape.ca - The Delaware Nation Language, Cultural & Historical Department] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131204021319/http://lenape.ca/ |date=2013-12-04 }}. Our Departments vision: To ensure Lunaapeew Language transmission for future generations.</ref> Uniquely among scholars, Kraft uses ''Lenape'' as a cover term to refer to all Delaware-speaking groups.<ref>Kraft, Herbert, 1986, p. xviii; Kraft, Herbert, 1986a, p. 106</ref>
