"Guaymí" is an outdated name derived from the Buglere term for them ("guaymiri"). Local newspapers and other media often alternatively spell the name Ngäbe as "Ngobe" or "Ngöbe" because Spanish does not contain the sound represented by "ä", a low-back rounded "a", slightly higher than the English "aw" in the word "saw" and Spanish speakers hear "ä" as either an "o" or an "a". Ngäbe means people in their native language- Ngäbere. A sizable number of Ngäbe have migrated to Costa Rica in search of work on the coffee fincas. Ngäbere and Buglere are distinct languages in the Chibchan language family. They are mutually unintelligible.
