Both names are synonymous. Decide on one! -- Liliana • 00:18, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Voltaic is dated, less common, and less clear (there's an Oti-Volta group of languages, and a Volta-Niger group, and Voltaic isn't either one). I'd prefer Gur. - -sche (discuss) 01:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- If you want to know my reasons for choosing Voltaic back then, it was because 1. it is more English than Gur, and 2. it is apparently widespread in the Francophone world. But I am indifferent. -- Liliana • 19:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

- Voltaic (from the French) is the older name, but it is now superseded by Gur. Gur languages is the modern name of this subfamily. Even the French have dropped the old name for w:fr:langues gur. —Stephen (Talk) 03:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
