Talk:Ymyyakhtakh culture

In Fennoscandia

Here's a quote from the Russian source that I translated.

"В конце II тыс. до н.э. [в Северной Фенноскандии] отмечается появление керамического комплекса, сопоставляемого археологами с ымыяхтахской культурой Восточной Сибири (керамика с примесью шерсти)."
"At the end of the II millennium BC, the ceramic complex comparable with the Ymyyakhtakh culture of Eastern Siberia (typified by pottery with an admixture of wool) makes its appearance in North Fennoscandia."

Ymyyakhtakh or Ymyakhtakh?

I found that, in scholarly literature in English, the culture is more often named using one 'y': Ymyakhtakh. But I suppose it makes little difference. Y-barton (talk) 05:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

@Y-barton: That's strange. I got 2-3 times as many hits on GScholar and GBooks for Ymyyakhtakh [1][2] compared to Ymyakhtakh [3][4]. In any case, Ymyyakhtakh is the more accurate transliteration from Russian, so I would go with that regardless. – Joe (talk) 08:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
