Exonyms for English places[edit]

I've added a note, that the exonyms for English places are rarely used. Except for London ("Londen"), I have never, ever heared of another exonym. Maybe it was an old custom, but nowadays I can't imagine that someone would name Dortmouth Dortmuiden. --Soetermans 10:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why?[edit]

Who, other than their authors, looks at such pages? What's the use of an endless list of examples of the obvious fact that each language adapts foreign words to its own phonology? —Tamfang (talk) 18:45, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
