Common name

[edit]

There is problem with the name; 'Saban' evidently comes from the epithet, but also obviously refers to the range of the species, which is mainly in Sabah, northern Borneo. However, following common usage, the appropriate adjective is 'Sabahan'. 'Saban', as an adjective, refers to the Caribbean island of Saba. I suggest the page should be moved to either 'Sabah grizzled langur' or 'Sabah leaf monkey', or to the scientific name. Maias (talk) 13:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I made the move to Sabah grizzled langur based on the name used by the Mammal Diversity Database and IUCN, as well as some other sources. Rlendog (talk) 15:16, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
