Placenames in KRI

Yes dear Øukasz. Writing the road signs in the language of the majority of the natives is a legitimate right . It gives the passers-by that the site has a historical root.

Thank you .

Ok dear Okasz. I will talk only about Kirkuk which is a Disputed Area between the federal government in the Capital Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region in the north & east.

In Kirkuk, lives (5) ethnicities : Kurds, Arabs, Turkomanis, Assyrians, Chaldeans. They all have different spoken language.

Every one of them live in a certain part in the province including the city center and the villages and towns under it.

In Kirkuk as a province, you can find neighbourhoods or vicinities dwelt by purely one component and it has been like that since ever .

NOW, my recommendation is that : The tag (namage) of any vicinity or town or neighborhood or village might be written in the language of the population or at least the majority of the population and if that language doesnot have a written form or alphabet, we use Arabic instead.

This is the tag (name). Of course it can be accompanied by other tags like : Name: Ara Name: CKB Name:Kur Name:en

My recommendation finished.

Thank you .

Dear Okasz ,

Here are very quick facts. I hope you focus on them without being bored. I am writing them on purpose so that no one else can cheat you :

  1. Iraq has (2) governments :
    a. Federal gov in Baghdad the capital that identifies ONLY (1) language for government and all formal correspondence which is Arabic
  2. The Kurdistan region in the north and east of Iraq that Identifies ONLY 1 language in correspondence which is Kurdish.

The constitution of the whole iraq stipulates that the both Arabic & kurdish are the ONLY 2 formal languages in Iraq.

besides those 2, we have other large ethnicity in other Iraqi provinces In the constitution, these provinces are called “the disputed areas” one of which is my province “Kirkuk” In kirkuk, we have (5) spoken languages “Arabic, Kurdish, Turkomani, Assyrians, Chaldeans” I recommend that “the 5 languages are a legitimate right” for each ethnicity. each alphabet can be a Tag :
name:ckb name:Ar . . . . . . etc but for the tag (Name) I recommend a great thing which is based on satisfaction ツ
