Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3

Other than the English Wikipedia and this Phabricator task, is there an external source for the "Cou" autonym? For example, a dictionary or another website?

Ethnologue lists "Cou" as "Alternate Names", not as autonym. It's quite possible that it's also the autonym, and Ethnologue just failed to list it as such, but I'd love to see it written explicitly somewhere, if possible.

@Amire80 I've sent a wiki email to the requester @Allenwang6212a. I am having a hard time finding sources for the autonym. Wikipedia article mentions Cou but citation is needed.

@Winston_Sung could you point to relevant information in the documents you have shared? TY!

In Formosan languages, the language autonym usually be the same word of "people"/"human" in the language, so:

"Cou": "人"

@Winston_Sung Okay! But in the resource you shared, could you clarify which page shows Cou as the autonym for Tsou?

Both on page 4 of the PDF files (but one of the footer labeled as 3).

Just discovered it should be all lowercase.

@Allenwang6212a for confirmation.

Appears to be lowercase:

See PDF file page 173.

(The capitalized Cou in PDF page 175 is in German/Deutsch)
