Line 35: :'''Question'''. The species has several common names. Why choose this one? [[User:YorkshireExpat\|YorkshireExpat]] ([[User talk:YorkshireExpat\|talk]]) 09:54, 16 July 2022 (UTC) ::"Indian python" is, by far, the most common name among the vernacular names. [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Indian+python%2CIndian+rock+python%2Cblack-tailed+python%2CAsian+rock+python&year_start=1900&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3 Here] is an NGram comparison. In this case, the vernacular name may be even less ambiguous than the binomial, because the [[Burmese python]] was only recently recognized as distinct from this one (2009 according to the Wikipedia article). It was long considered a subspecies known as ''[[Python molurus bivittatus]]'', so many references to the Burmese python will use "''Python molurus''". —⁠ ⁠[[User:BarrelProof\|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof\|talk]]) 17:41, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
