We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Sámi people — The claim that 'The word Sámi is borrowed from the Proto-Baltic word for 'land', cognate with Slavic of the same meaning, both ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm' is not established as widely accepted canon; the etymology of 'Sámi' is debated and oft
Sámi people — The claim that 'The word 'Sámi' has at least one cognate in Finnish: the region of Tavastia' is incorrect; Tavastia (Finnish: Häme) is not a cognate of 'Sámi'. The word 'Häme' is derived from a different root, and 'Sámi' is not considered a cognate of Tavastia
Tatars — The claim that 'genetic studies have shown that the three main groups of Tatars (Volga, Crimean, and Siberian) are apparently unrelated' oversimplifies complex genetic findings and is not a widely established factual consensus.
Thai people — The entry states that Thais speak 'Sukhothai languages (Central Thai and Southern Thai language)', but Sukhothai is not a recognized language family or subgroup within Kra–Dai; Central Thai and Southern Thai are dialects/languages within the Tai branch of Kra–
Thai people — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims the French diplomat Simon de la Loubère recorded that the Siamese call themselves 'Tai Noe' (little Siams) while 'Tai yai' (great Siams) live in the Northern Mountains. This is inaccurate: de la Loubère's 1691 account actually
Torres Strait Islanders — The measles epidemic is incorrectly stated as occurring in June 1875; historical records place it in late 1875 (November–December) after the schooner 'Melanie' arrived in October 1875.
Torres Strait Islanders — Yumplatok is described as a 'trade language', but it is actually a full community creole language used as a first language by many Islanders, not merely for trade.
Tuareg people — The Kinnin are not a Tuareg subgroup; they are a separate ethnic group sometimes associated with the Kanuri or other peoples.
Tuareg people — Attributing the spread of Islam in North Africa specifically to the Tuareg is a factual error; Islam was spread there primarily by Arab conquests and Berber conversion.
Tupi people — The claim that the Tupi believed they descended from a mythological character called Tupi is not supported by established scholarship; the name 'Tupi' is a modern linguistic and ethnographic label, not a common ancestral figure.
Tupi people — The statement that the main cult among coastal Tupi in the 16th century was that of Tupã, the thunder, as a manifestation of the god Nhanderuvuçu is misleading; Tupã was not a central pre-contact deity and Nhanderuvuçu is more associated with Guarani cosmology
Turkic peoples — The claim that 'most linguists have rejected this since the 1950s' regarding the Altaic family is inaccurate; the rejection became prominent later, and the timeline is oversimplified.
Tutsi — The entry states 'Tutsi are considered by some to be of Cushitic origin, although they do not speak a Cushitic language, and have inhabited the same areas for 400 years'. The timeframe '400 years' is not a widely established canonical fact; the arrival of Tuts
