thread_title:  About Kathmandu (Nepal) 

message: Although "Kathmandu" seems to be the more common spelling these days (on Google, it outnumbers "Katmandu" about 10-1), "Katmandu" is still seen quite often.  I notice that it appears a lot in the references, and seemed to be the more common spelling for the city back in the 1960s-1970s (e.g., when Cat Stevens named his song).  Was the English spelling of the city officially changed to "Kathmandu" at some point, or was "Katmandu" always considered incorrect?  In any case, I think the spelling "Katmandu" should be noted somewhere in the article (rather than just being a redirect). Ross Finlayson (talk) 21:00, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, "Katmandu" was always incorrect. The word "Kathmandu" more correctly represents the way it is pronounced in Nepali, since it correctly has 4 syllables Ka.th.man.du while "Katmandu" has just 3 syllables Kat.man.du. The middle "th" is missing. Manoguru (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the clarification.  However, given that this misspelling is still fairly common, and is actually used 6 times in the article (3 times in the article body; 3 times in the references), I think it should be noted (as a misspelling) in the "Etymology" section of the article.  (With a reference, of course.) Ross Finlayson (talk) 10:58, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: FYI, I just added a note about this. Ross Finlayson (talk) 07:23, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
