Talk:Oksalur

Ohsalur
Not sure if "Ohsalur" is a variant spelling or just an error. I would be inclined to think this was an error- switching the k in Oksalur for a graphically similar h. However, the Chinese character names for this township are both pronounced in Mandarin with an 'h' at just the place where this letter would be- Wuheshalu 吾合沙鲁 and Wohusulu 倭胡素魯. I will make a comment on the talk page of the map as well. Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:54, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * More explicitly: Oksalur ئوقسالۇر Wuheshalu 吾合沙鲁
 * Etymology: Ok=ئوق=bullet=Wuhe=吾合; salur=سالۇر=in the chamber=shalu=沙鲁
 * Transliteration:
 * O=Wu 吾, k=he 合, sa=sha 沙, lur=lu 鲁
 * Oksalur Wohusulu 倭胡素魯
 * O=Wo 倭, k=hu 胡, sa=su 素, lur=lu 魯
 * In both cases, the k is corresponding to a sound that was transliterated into Chinese characters with a character pronounced in Mandarin with an h. Therefore, Ohsalur seems reasonable to me. Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
