A Note About Place Names
Many of the place names found on your globe can be pronounced in
several ways. Often the way people living in a place say the name of
their city or country is quite different from the way outsiders pronounce
it. One example is the city of Moscow, Russia, which the local residents
pronounce
Moskva . When faced with a choice
about which pronunciation to use for place
names, we have generally chosen the
ones most frequently used by native
English speakers. If you would like to
learn more about
the local pronunciations of
worldwide place names, please
check the reference section of
your local library for atlases
printed in foreign languages.
