Names of ethnoses in Tatar

Hello. In my opinion I often write in Tatar in capital letters like in English or German. But many people say it is a mistake in Tatar. There's some confusion with it. In ancient times Turkic people wrote runas with no capital letters and then for some 10 centuries in Arabic script with no capital letters. Now that we often write in Cyrillic we make kind of a copy from Russian language and small letters. But in Tatar it's different. Like say it would be Terra del Fuego people - "огнеземельцы" in Russian (with a suffix in this case) and "ут җире халкы" in Tatar. And it looks like we write the toponym beginning with a small letter and personally to me it seems very wrong. So, names of many people, groups, tribes come from names or place names and in my personal opinion we should write them beginning with capital letters. Many people are against this opinion.--A.Khamidullin (disc.) 18:19, 10 des 2021 (CET) Ancient Uyghur script was also used. I've forgotten to mention.
