Name mix up
[edit]Page history was a mess of Nihali and Kalto spliced together; hopefully it should now contain only versions of the article on the Indic language Kalto, which Kalto per Ethnologue 16 is not a name of the isolate Nihali. Given that, I'm moving the following paragraph of the text here for fixin':
- There is severe confusion here between Nihali and Nahali. "Kalto" is the autonym (Kuiper 1962) of a tribe speaking a non - Indo-Aryan language also known as Nahali. Certainly the literature uses Nihali for this same language but Kalto uniquely refers to the language isolate, whether it is called Nihali or Nahali.[citation needed][it would appear to be just the opposite]

Similarly, I'm removing the following here, as we say the same thing of Nihali speakers:
- In Victorian times the Kalto (then known disparagingly as "Nahals" or "Nihals") were among the most notorious of the wild jungle tribes that lived by plunder. Just after 1800 an Arab princeling of the Moghul empire led a punitive expedition against them that destroyed their tribal independence.[citation needed]
