As with kwyBEK/keBEK, >kataLONia/kataLUNia, LUNdynderi/DEri, either choice implies a certain >ideology. kataLONia/kataLUNia are transliterating from different languages. Take the catalan, it's what most of them speak. Just DON'T write about kasTIL, I've been there and it is ALWAYS kasTIy or (occasionally) kasTIa. I vote for the above to be as the locals say, not as the rest of the world insists on saying it - are the indigenous people of Alaska to be written /N,iu,t/ or /ESK,mo/? I vote for N,iu,t despite the fact that it looks atrocious that way. But yes, spell it how you like - provided we understand you, since that's the point of having a language. BTW, it's harder to make jokes about the song "/lynynDERI/ air" than LYNdynderi. --la kreig.daniyl.
