The spelling with the lowercase ''t'' is listed as the main entry in those dictionaries. I think it is analogous to ''[[mee siam]]'' ("Siamese noodle"), and more or less similar to ''[[hamburger]]'' ("relating to Hamburg") and ''china'', with the lowercase ''c'', which means a kind of porcelain imported from China. Moreover, pad thai means "fried Thai style" but it doesn't follow English syntax, as ''phat'' is originally a verb and ''thai'' is originally an adjective. I wouldn't request the move if this dish was specifically called ''Thai-style stir-fry'', for example. --[[User:Potapt|Potapt]] ([[User talk:Potapt|talk]]) 13:08, 5 April 2017 (UTC) |

Using Google Translate is a little difficult since there are so many possibilities for either "pad" or "thai", but many of the combinations work out to "stir fry" in English. So is that an accurate translation or is it more complicated than that? [[Special:Contributions/68.2.235.85|68.2.235.85]] ([[User talk:68.2.235.85|talk]]) |

Weird lang tag, correct syntax?
The source contains
[[fish sauce]] ({{lang|th|''nampla'' น้ำปลา}})
But at least for me, this is rendered as
fish sauce ()
Any clue what the correct syntax is?

Capitalization
The spelling with the lowercase t is listed as the main entry in those dictionaries. I think it is analogous to mee siam ("Siamese noodle"), and more or less similar to hamburger ("relating to Hamburg") and china, with the lowercase c, which means a kind of porcelain imported from China. Moreover, pad thai means "fried Thai style" but it doesn't follow English syntax, as phat is originally a verb and thai is originally an adjective. I wouldn't request the move if this dish was specifically called Thai-style stir-fry, for example. --Potapt (talk) 13:08, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
