Incorrect transliteration
I'll willingly admit to ignorance, but why is it incorrect? What would the correct transliteration be? Safebreaker (talk) 18:20, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * "Pyarnu" is the correct transliteration of the Russian word "Пярну" - in other words, from the Cyrillic alphabet to the Latin alphabet. However, "Pärnu" is the city's name in the Estonian language, not "Пярну."  The city name is pronounced the same in both languages, though. --Ericdn (talk) 01:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if you actually wanted to use the Russian name out of preference, you'd be better off writing "Pernov", as that's the Latin transcription of its Russian name while it was in the Russian Empire. Writing "Pyarnu" for an Estonian city now in 2014 is a bit strange. 173.206.72.241 (talk) 21:50, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
