Talk:French Cerdagne

Name
Just wondering about a name change to Haute-Cerdagne: what do poeple think? Physchim62 (talk) 12:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * For me, as French, it shoulf be called only cerdagne. If you, as native english speaker, believe it should be called Haute-Cerdagne, I agree. --Maurice27 22:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Cerdagne presumably includes the part that rested with Spain, ie Cerdanya (comarca). Geographically and together, they form the upper valley of the Segre. The part which was transferred to France is the higher of the two parts, and is refreed to in Catalan as Alta Cerdanya. Note to Catalan editors: it is PoV to refer to the current comarca as Baixa Cerdanya, as its official name is simply Cerdanya. "Upper Cerdania" doesn't really mean anything at all in English, although it is a reasonable translation, so I propose Haute-Cerdagne as a compromise name... :) Physchim62 (talk) 15:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Name (2)
I think this article should be named "French Cerdanya", since the name of Cerdanya/Cerdagne in the main english article is "Cerdanya", wich incluides both the spanish and the french parts. Then, if Cerdanya/Cerdagne is named in english as "Cerdanya", the english article refered to the french part should be named "French", followed by "Cerdanya", as the english name. If we say "French Cerdagne" we are using a french name in what it should be its english denomination; it would be like saying "the german Switzerland" and "the french Suisse". This is not a political opinion, I just say we always should use the english name for "Cerdanya", that in this case is exactly written like the catalan name. 95.17.60.66 (talk) 15:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Status within France
The article currently says French Cerdagne has no special status inside France, simply forming an area within the département of Pyrénées-Orientales, unlike the Spanish part of Cerdanya, which is officially a Catalan comarca... . I am not an expert, but I think this is incorrect. According to the table below the artilce, Cerdagne is one of the Pays within the Department of Pyrénées-Orientales. It appears that pays in France roughly corresponds to comarca in Catalonia (it is not uniform within Spain). Any comments from those familiar with the administrative divisions of France? - BorisG (talk) 17:14, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Haute Cerdagne
Haute Cerdagne (Upper Cerdagne) is also used in French [http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=fr&safe=off&q=%22haute+Cerdagne%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= cf. google], even at a bureaucratic level, cf. google (SIAEP: Syndicat Intercommunal d'Alimentation en Eau Potable; the bureaucratic level ;-) Alvar ☮ 's saloon. 01:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Better labelled map needed
We need the map symbol legend. This An inadvertent result of the Treaty of the Pyrenees is the Spanish exclave of Llivia (the small uncolored area in the map) is hard to follow. Zezen (talk) 16:59, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
