Name variation

The Pray are also commonly referred to as Pray 3 among social scientists, to disambiguate them from the related Phai people, who are also sometimes referred to as Pray (Pray 1).[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=pry Ethnologue report for Pray 3] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070822224053/http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=pry |date=2007-08-22 }}
