Talk:Phramonkolthepmuni

Romanization
A note about the Romanization of Thai names on this page; Phramonkolthepmuni should be Romanized as Phra Monkolthepmuni. 'Phra' is a common title for a monk, rather than part of a name. --Clay Collier 02:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

The Romanized version of this name has been written inconsistently in the current article,i.e., either Phra Monkolthepmuni, Phramonkolthepmuni, Phra mongolthepmuni or Phramongolthepmuni. It should be made consistent, choosing one form to be held as standard in the future. The form "Phramonkolthepmuni" is chosen here for two reasons. Firstly, the Thai word "Phra" can be either a title (in case of a monk who possesses no royal name) or part of the name (in case denominated by the King). In this case, Phramonkolthepmuni is a royal name, so "Phra" becomes part of the whole name that should not be separated. Secondly, as this is a Romanization of a Thai name, it would be easier to pronounce correctly as Phramonkolthepmuni. Dhammamedhi 22:08, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
