B373 - Great Whale Inuit renamed "Kuujjuarapik", alt names also updated. B386 - Baffin Island Inuit renamed "Nunatsiarmiut", alt names also updated. B60 - Aka - updated alt names; dialect match changed by KK from bamb1264 to base1242 - Note added: "Note 22Jul2021 - dialect match changed by KK from bamb1264 to base1242. Research notes relevant to Aka (society in Binford, GJB datasets), Bayaka (Binford dataset), and Mbendjele (GJB dataset) all speak varieties of yaka1272 'Yaka (Central African Republic)'. The re-assignment of dialect bamb1264 from society 'Aka' to 'Mbendjele' is well supported (c.f. Bahuchet, who mentions it is the dialect spoken in Western Aka areas). The dialect 'base1242' (Basese), now assigned to societies B60 (Aka) and GJB 'Aka', is mentioned on Wikipedia's Aka language page as being spoken in the East (and the Lobaye region, where work with the Aka was carried out, is North East of the Ouesso region, where work with the Mbendjele was carried out). This is the only evidence I have used to link 'base1242' to the Aka societies. Society B61 (Bayaka) is assigned yet another dialect (beka1240), mainly as a way to distinguish the group from Aka and Mbendjele (no additional evidence links this glottolog dialect to B61 Bayaka - match was done through a process of elimination)." B61 - Bayaka - added note on language match B63 - Baka - updated alt names
