Talk:Tamarian
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The reference at the beginning of the episode lists the race as 'The children of Tama'. It's more elegant and exact than just 'Tamarians'. Should not the article name be changed to reflect this? --Ouro 21:38, 17 Feb 2005 (GMT)
- Agreed, it seems that that is what they call themselves, and Tamarian is only a shorthand used by starfleet. Don't think we have a policy on what name to use in this kind of situations (and I can't think of any precedents), but I suggest the name the species use themselves, even though "Tamarian" is widespread in fandom. -- Capricorn 09:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that "Children of Tama" is more appropriate. -- Connor Cabal 12:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Should something be mentioned about the glaringly obvious fact that the Tamarians couldn't possibly have constructed advanced starships and the vast technological infrastructre required to support them using only a metaphor-based language? 71.108.68.167 08:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's clear they have and there's nothing that states their language started off metaphor-based. Either way anything would be speculation. — Morder 09:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- For the latest research on this topic...er, apocryphal explanations...see Tamarian language.– Cleanse 09:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
