Name of Abu Simbel

The “Name” section starts with: “The name Abu Simbel is European, a cacography of the Arabic Abu Sunbul, due in part to assimilation.”

That is incorrect. The Arabic ‘Abu Sunbul” is per ‘Modern Standard Arabic” which is not a spoken dialect. In the Egyptian dialect, it is “Abou Simbel” (and it’s not a European ‘cacography’). Cedrusk (talk) 17:24, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
