The Seven Rules of Place Naming
 The Seven Rules of Place Naming at English Wikipedia  Based on the Seven Rules of Nationalism
 * 1) If an area was ours for 500 years and yours for 50 years, it must use the toponyms of our language – you are merely occupiers, interlopers, or imperialists.
 * 2) If an area was yours for 500 years and ours for 50 years, it must use the toponyms of our language – current borders and official languages must be respected.
 * 3) If an area belonged to us 500 years ago but never since then, it must use the toponyms of our language – it is the Cradle of our Nation.
 * 4) If a majority of our people live there, it must use the toponyms of our language – they must enjoy the right to determine their own place names.
 * 5) If a minority of our people live there, it must use the toponyms of our language – they must be protected against your oppression.
 * 6) All of the above rules apply to us but not to you.
 * 7) Use of our toponyms is Historical Necessity, yours is Fascism or Colonialism
