Lyublyanovics additionally notes that there was no clear record of self-identification in Hungarian sources, which may lump various groups into one singular "Cuman" population. Thus: "Cumans were not categorized as a cultural or ethnic group and there was no special vocabulary to describe their religious standing, social position or political organization: the term "Cumani" covered all these. In the case of individual Cumans, when the designation "Cumanus" was added to their proper names it was used not as a cultural or ethnic term but as a sign of legal status".
