Could someone please fix how this page inappropriately uses Nubian and Kush interchangeably?

[edit]

I'd do it myself but I don't feel like I'm a good enough writer. Kush spoke a Kushetic Language being who the language family was named after, the Nubians spoke a Nilo-Sahidic Language and didn't become the ruling Tribes of these regions till the the 4th Century AD. --JaredMithrandir (talk) 10:51, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just replaced Nubia with Kush throughout. Nubia is the general term for the region in the historical literature, but I agree that it is too confusing since, during the Napatan period, the Nubian language and the Nubian people were not to be found there (so far as we know).
