Name of the state[edit]
My understanding is that "Bono state" is the English name, and that Bonoman is the Bono name. Is this correct? In either case, are there adequate English-language sources to back up the use of either name? - in English, not in Bono. Lingvulo (talk) 07:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yes Bonoman is the Bono name of it and preferrably, that's what it is mostly known for. In Ghana Bonoman is the known name and most other books has Bonoman as its name. Bono state as you rightly said is the English name. Effah Gyamfi wrote massively on Bonoman and other writer as well, in most cases, Bonoman is the running name. Thanks.

- Right, so, as this article is written in English, it should say "Bono state" rather than "Bonoman". Would you be able to supply an audio clip of yourself saying Bonoman in Bono to add for the pronunciation? Lingvulo (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Please there are some technical terms that needs to be maintained, no need to change them, as for the audio clip, later i will try to provide, i would wish to do same for all the other articles. Thanks. Sacrifice06 (talk) 07:26, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Please some technical terms are needed for research purposes, those terms nonetheless needs to be maintained, for instance "generally accepted origin", "ancient", "middle ages" and others are vehemently important. Thanks. Sacrifice06 (talk) 22:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Bono state → Bonoman – Native name is Bonoman, Bono state is the english translation, they fluctuate between commonality per ngrams [1] Alexanderkowal (talk) 12:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

- This would be in line with Gyaman and List of rulers of the Akan state of Bono-Tekyiman Alexanderkowal (talk) 16:22, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
