This paper suggests making co-developed vocabulary an explicit part of the research engagement process; when this is not possible, use language that accurately describes those involved e.g., as nature, people, organisations, partners, relevant groups, and relevant parties.

When doing so, be mindful that groups are often not homogenous but, rather, consist of diverse (sometimes ‘silent’) perspectives, which need to be give voice, to ensure inclusion. This is further discussed here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Wouldn't co-developed vocabulary make it more challenging to converge on broadly shared terminology common to disparate groups? Even those with common purpose?
