 * It is not the name that this city is known [by] in every country on the planet. You only needed to check the wikilinks to see that this is an incorrect statement. What's more, it is the name by which it became known in English; the original Norse name would have been spelled and pronounced quite differently. Deb (talk) 18:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Please state one country that does not refer to the city by the name Swansea? Yes, the original Norse was pronounced differently, but the present modern-day name evolved in the local community and has nothing to do with the English. In Welsh, Bristol is known as Bristol and despite the fact that the name of that city evolved within the community, would you refer to Bristol as the Welsh name of the city, despite the Welsh having nothing to do with its evolution? Thank you.
