Edited sentence: From Spanish the word Otomi has become entrenched in the linguistic and anthropological literature, and there does not seem to be any tendency to change this particularly because there is no Otomi word that could be applied to speakers of all the different Otomi varieties.The name Otomi comes from the Nahuatl otomitl "fletcher".The word Otomi has entered the Spanish language through Nahuatl and is used to describe the larger Otomi ethnic group and their language.When speaking Otomi the Otomi themselves do not use that word, but describe themselves as Hñähño, Hñotho, Hñähü, Hñätho, Yųhų, Yųhmų, Ñųhų, Ñǫthǫ, Ñañhų depending on which vriant of the Otomi language they speak
