Talk:Cửu Long province

Literal meaning/Han Tu
Article needs literal meaning of this province name, and Han Tu. Badagnani 08:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This province was created in 1976 when Vietnamese did not use "Han Tu" for a very long time. So, why does Cuu Long need note for it's name? So if you please, I would like to remove the "Han Tu" from this article. Rungbachduong (talk) 00:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

It seems highly unlikely that this place name (province or not) did not exist going back much further. Badagnani (talk) 00:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You are right! Because this province's name was derived from the "river" (in fact, a river system) Cửu Long Giang (九龍江) which was named before 1945. Rungbachduong (talk) 00:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

If both the river and province mean "Nine Dragons," then this should be stated in both articles (as we do for the state of Mississippi and the Mississippi River). Badagnani (talk) 00:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
