Talk:Ångerman

A while ago we on Wikipedia moved Swedish Latinized provincial names such as Angermannia to such as Ångermanland. Ironiously, Enc. Britannica lists this river as such:

Angerman River (riv., Swed.) Ångermanälven (riv., Swed.): see Angerman River Ångermanland (prov., Swed.)

(http://www.britannica.com/eb/index?search=ANFO)

So I will consider moving this article to Angerman River, even if the provincial name is Ångermanland. I will also consider moving all "-älven" articles to "River" article names.

Please do not. Ångerman or Angerman are not the same. Å and A are different letters and sort differently in the Swedish alphabet. A is the first letter, just like in English. Å is the 27th letter. They are pronounced differently. They sort differently. They are different letters.

Substituting Å for A would be like substituting M for N in English. They look similar enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.118.4 (talk) 08:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I think your mistake is that you think Å is just A with an accent. That is wrong. It is a completely different and unrelated letter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.118.4 (talk) 08:44, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
