hey guys i'd just like to say that the US Spelling of this article should be changed for the UK Spelling as the majority of English speaking Finns speak British English as opposed to American

thankyou —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.3.49 (talk) 17:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

– Both forms are used, but finnicization would be a more authentic form in English (like Finno-Ugric, Finno-Soviet Treaty of 1948) The fenni- form would more of a loan from Swedish or Finnish. The loan-form fenno has become more prevalent in an exception like Fennoscandia, but not with finnicization.
 * Fennicization → Finnicization
 * Fennicization of Helsinki → Finnicization of Helsinki

Google Scholar has 79 results for Finnicization And 34 results for Fennicization.

The Oxford English Dictionary, if searched within entries, prefers the form finnicization with an example of usage from 1827. Lastly, finnicization is more clear and logical as Finnish is written with an I. --Pudeo' 19:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC) Pudeo' 19:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Support rename of these per nom. I think the nominator has been thorough and summarises the evidence well. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:47, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Didn't see this in time to comment. "Fenn-" is the Latin form, not from Swedish. True, the Finn- form wins out 2:1, but largely by sources that don't know the Latinate word and so create one ad-hoc from "Finnish" -- rather like saying "cat-ophile" because you don't know the word ailurophile. — kwami (talk) 05:24, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The Latin Wikipedia uses the form la:Finnia, although apparently the form Fennia is older in Latin usage and Finnia is gaining ground just recently. But anyway, are you sure that these "ization" words in English all come from Latin? Anglicization could come from either English or Latin, but it's pretty clear terms like Czechization only come from English. So shouldn't the relevant word be Finnish, not Finnia/Fennia anyway? --Pudeo' 03:22, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
