Talk:Wroclaw

Tea room discussion
How should English-speakers pronounce this? --Borganised 08:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "Any way that others will understand," is the short answer. According to the Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary, the UK pronunciation is, but they don't use the inverted "r"  or its variants in their transcriptions. --EncycloPetey 23:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that sounds about normal. Often these days the /l/ is pronounced Polski-stylee as /w/.  Ƿidsiþ 11:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * NOAD gives . Interestingly, it gives the English spelling as Wrocław only, with the slash-el, and Breslau is defined as the German name. —Michael Z. 2008-10-09 16:20 z 

Translations
The logic behind having the translations which are cognate to "Breslau" in this table, rather than having a separate table at [[Breslau]], is that "Breslau" and "Wroclaw" are cognate. In contrast, "Leningrad" and "Saint Petersburg" correctly have separate translations tables, because they're two unrelated names. - -sche (discuss) 18:58, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
