Talk:Isfahan province

message: This name is almost always written Isfahan in English. The version Esfahan is just sometimes used and only by some Iranians who are not aware of the English diction of this word.
So the article should be put under the title Isfahan province.
:According to http://statoids.com/uir.html Esfahan is the standard english spelling, Isfahan is a variant. And also the ISO 3166-2 newsletter 2  spells it Esfahan (or to be more exact Eşfahān). andy 15:31, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi,
Typing Isfahan in google gives 158.000 results, most of them western and official western sites. Typing "Esfahan" gives 54.100 results almost all of them websites made by the Iranians who are not aware of the English spelling. What you reffered to, Esfahan/Eşfahān is a transcription of the Persian word not the English equivalent of it.
It's like using the name al-'Iraq (the transcription of the Arbic name) instead of Iraq in English.

text: The google test may be right, I don't know anything about persian transliteration vs. english versions of persian names. But please don't move the article by copy-and-paste, but wait till Isfahan province gets deleted and a correct move preserving the editing history can be done. Thank you. andy 15:51, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: Moving the article by copy-and-paste is the only way I have access to at this moment. Would be nice if you do the trouble and move it in the other way. Thanks. --Mani1 15:54, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: "County" as "Shahrestan"

message: I wonder if those who delete and deny the existence of Georgian and Armenian languages have ever read something on this or have ever been to there. 
To tell only a portion of what should be said: Shah Abbas moved many Armenians to the Jolfa of Esfahan, and to Fereydan. He also moved many Georgians to different parts of Esfahan province. Most of them lost their language, but those in Fereydan region (including Fereydunshahr, have retained thier language untill now.
I advice those who are deleting this, in an unligetit manner, look further than their Californian Persian community. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Babakexorramdin (talk • contribs) 17:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
