Name change
Hello, I 'll change this back to Fort-Dauphin. Why? The name of the municipality is: Commune Urbain de Fort-Dauphin. Yes - there are several spellings that are used, but Tôlanaro is the less used in Madagascar. On the town hall of Fort-Dauphin is written: Commune Urbain Fort-Dauphin

They mostly name it : Fort-Dauphin or Taolagnaro  is used.

Tôlanaro even only exists in articles that copy from wikipedia. I do not know how they came up to name this page like that. Also "unknown" to the L'Express de Madagascar

And the alternative names: Fort-Dauphin, Tolagnaro and Faradofay (from Arabe)
 * The mayor speaks here about Fort-Dauphin:


 * Tsaradia names it: Taolagnaro (Fort-Dauphin)
 * Also Malagasy Newspapers use often Taolagnaro: and

But I see no reason, to find a "phantasy" word (missspelling??). So, I think that wikipedia should go after it's official name, and that is Commune Urbain Fort-Dauphin.

Yes, I know, there are weired minds, that think to make the local people happier in finding Great Local names. This their post-fascists-apartheid. I give a shit on them. Malagasy use: Fort-Dauphin, as well as some others. They do not have such a weired mind. Regards I&#39;m so tired (talk) 06:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Accents
Hello, just one more remark: I do not know, where the hell came those "accents" from. The Malagasy language doesn't know all those accents that were used here.

The only accent the language knows, are to distinguish words that are written the same way: ex: lalana ['lalana] “road, way” / lalàna [la'lana] “law”. No circumflex....etc.

Also the letters: C, Q, U, W, X are not used in the Malagasy language. === French language uses accents. If there is a French word, you may use them. But I see no reason, why English pages should use French words to describe Malagasy localities ?? Example: Antsirabé = French; Antsirabe = Malagasy; Roman Catholic Diocese of Antsirabé => that's a lingustical hermaphrodite.
