[edit] Bartolomeu Dias
bartholomew dais is how his name is spelled not bartholomeu dias {anon 1}
- Bartolomeu Dias is the correct and proper spelling...{anon 2}
The original spelling is Bartolomeu Dias. The anglicized version is Bartholomew Diaz. --XX7 12:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
u know that if ya'll argue about it some more, the name might totally change completely, i likewise am doing a project but there's no need in starting WWIX on here about the name (which can be spelt either way...
[edit] Reply

well if you go to either google or yahoo and tipe in dias's exploration route then you should get what your looking for—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.100.20.210 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] "the first European known to do so since ancient times"
The above line in the first paragraph needs at least some form of explanation, and preferably a link. I had always thought that Dias was the first person to sail from Europe all the way around the Cape, adn I doubt that I'm alone. --Dantheox 21:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling Issues
His name can be spelled "Bartolomeu Dias" or "Bartholomew Diaz"; both ways are fine.{anon}
no you cant or if you look it up it wont pop up it will say did you mean bartolomeu dias —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.100.20.210 (talk • contribs) .
The opinion from another reader: There's nothing wrong in anglicizing well noun names of persons and places. Lisbon in Portuguese is Lisboa, London in Portuguese is Londres. I just think it is wrong to anglicize a Portuguese name by using a third language such as Spanish. Dias is a common Portuguese surname, equivalent to the Spanish Diaz. You, English speaking people, should either keep the Portuguese spelling, or use the English pronunciation system for the word: something like Bartholomeu Deeash?
You do not Anglicize those Dutch names containing the word Van by using the German Von, don't you? Another example: In Ukraine, common place names such as Kyiv are used in English as Kiev, which is the Russian word. Because the official language in Ukraine is Ukrainian, not Russian, Ukrainians are urging that Kiev should be spelled in English Kyiv instead of Kiev, and the English are beginning to accept that. So, please do the same to Portuguese names wrongly anglicized by using Spanish words.
Bartholomeu DIAS, not Diaz
TRISTAO da Cunha, not Tristan
FERNAO de MAGALHAES, not Ferdinand Magellan (this can be however accepted as Magalhaes, albeit Portuguese, became famous by serving Spain)
Antonio GUTERRES, not Gutierrez
Catherine of BRAGANCA (or Catherine of BRAGANSA, for the Portuguese Catarina de Bragança), not Catherine of Braganza
[edit] Request to add an external link
I want to add an external link to <http://www.namibia-1on1.com/Namibia-Southern/Bartholomew-Diaz.html> Are there any objections or suggestions? Keith Irwin 15:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
There's nothing wrong with the web site. There isn't much there, as only the top half concerns Batholomeu Dias. However, it does contain useful bits of information that are not yet in the article. If you have time maybe you could incorporate that information in to the article. If not, then it would be good to add the web site until somebody is inclined to incorporate what is useful from it. --XX7 12:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
