baiounitai

[edit]

is simply a western corruption of the word paionians, a macedonian tribe that did not settle in the 6th century but was always here.Edi1kanobi (talk) 23:01, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Leaving aside the fact that the Paeonians were not Macedonians but Thracians, is there a source for this extraordinary statement? Constantine 22:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BaiounitaiBaiunitae – To conform to Western spelling and naming conventions from Latin Edion Petriti (talk) 11:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). BegbertBiggs (talk) 14:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no difference between the two in terms of "Western spelling" (whatever that might be), and this is the English, not the Latin, Wikipedia. The name of this tribe is found in Greek primary sources, and the transliteration of the Greek name is "Baiounitai". "Baiunitae" would, indeed, be the Latin rendering of the Greek name, but that has no relevance here. The Latin term is used mostly in 19th-century documents, more recent studies use either the transliterated Greek name or a variety of anglicizations (covered in a footnote in the article). Since no common form exists, the transliteration of the name as used in the primary sources is the only valid option. Constantine 14:08, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
