Talk:List of renamed cities in Ukraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Old names vs. names in other languages
It's hard to draw the line between the previous city names vs. names in different languages. But I would rather keep these two per info in the provided links, which indicates that the cities were rather renamed:

- Ternopil and Lviv where not renamed. We simply started to use a Ukrainian name instead of a foreign one. In German langiage they still Lemberg because this the German version of the same name. Similarly in the Polish language they still write Tarnopol. These were no more renamed than Cernăuţi's being "renamed" to Chernivtsi. Most cities' names sound different in different language. This has nothing to do with an actual renaming, like in the case of Yekaterinoslav. --Irpen 20:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
