Talk:Charsk

Please, will change name of article. Because, official name of city is Shar. This is official site of administration:http://www.akimvko.gov.kz/kz/rule/akimat-vostochno-kazaxstanskoj-oblasti/akimatyi-gorodov-i-rajonov/apparat-akima-zharminskogo-rajona.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alibek2030 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

The official name of the city is in Kazakh and in Cyrillic. The city administration does not have an authority to establish the English name of the town.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Charsk it is translation from Russian language. In kazakh language don't use -sk suffix. I think, when name of city translate from other language to english we have to use Kazakh name of toponym. For example, Omsk (Russian) - Omby (Kazakh). But we don't translate to english Omby. Alibek2030 (talk) 07:09, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Not really. We are using the name the town is best known in Englsh, which may be Russian, Kazakh, or anything else. See Talk:Karaganda for an extensive discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:08, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

This town located in Kazakhstan, and I think that, name of this town must be in Kazakh language, not in Russian. And Alibek2030 correctly noted that in kazakh language don't use -sk suffix. Please, change the title of the article io the official name, that is Shar.--Amankel'dy (talk) 14:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Your argument would be valid in the Kazakh Wikipedia. In the English Wikipedia, the official name in Kazakh is irrelevant.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: this is not argument. --Arystanbek (talk) 16:48, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
