The Oalanii endonym is unknown, as no surviving record written in the [[Oalanii#Orthography|Oalanii logographic script]] mentions their own name, though we know the [[Siktó]] called them the ''*séékm'e'', which is also most likely the root of the [[Endépéd]] word for the Oalanii, ''zaakyuma'', although this word is now mostly used to mean [[Moshurian]] speakers who are from Oalan and/or speak the unique [[Moshurian#Oalan dialect|Oalan dialect]].
