Naam

Isn't the name Warschau? --Bezuidenhout (kontak) 22:42, 30 Desember 2008 (UTC)

That would be the German name which is also used in Dutch and Afrikaans. It has been adapted to Afrikaans spelling and pronunciation, thus there is a second Afrikaans name, Warskou. --Voyageur (kontak) 23:56, 30 Desember 2008 (UTC)

In die geval is daar geen twyfel dat die Afrikaanse vorm gevestig en ingeburger is nie. Ons praat ook van Warskouverdrag (Engels: Warsaw pact) ens. Die regte misdaad hier sou wees om van Warsaw te praat. Die Poolse naam sou darem baie swaar op 'n Afrikaanse oor val. laurens (kontak) 06:56, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)

I was mentioning that because my afrikaans atlas mentioned Warschau =/ , but my parents say they call it Warskou.--Bezuidenhout (kontak) 09:29, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)

Jou atlas is verkeerd en jou ouers reg... laurens (kontak) 12:48, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)

I think my afrikaans atlas needs to be updated - it was made in 1998 and many place names might have been more international or local. My atlas, afrikaans google and my parents are my only reference. --Bezuidenhout (kontak) 12:59, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)

It also says that a translator (Gerhardt van rooyen) was used. Bezuidenhout (kontak) 13:05, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)

Your atlas doesn't need to be updated - there are many cities which have more than one accepted form and the atlas probably decided to stick to one, rather than list all of the options each time. Anrie (kontak) 13:20, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)

True, but the name they chose might not be the one most used. I accept the atlas has made mistakes with Warschau and Ciprus. --Bezuidenhout (kontak) 13:23, 31 Desember 2008 (UTC)
