For the following- List of Names in Abyssinia the Permanent Committee
on Geographical Names is much indebted to Mr. A. D. Home, who
supplied the versions in Amharic characters. Some of the names belong
to the Galla language ; but the Amharic versions are given throughout.

Names marked with an asterisk * are alterations of previous decisions
printed in the First General List of African Names.

Owing to uncertainty as to the boundaries of provinces and districts, it

by its approximate latitude and longitude; the figures given must not be

taken as more than a rough guide to identification.

FIRST LIST OP NAMES IN ABYSSINIA.

The following notes are taken from "Alphabets of Foreign Languages Transcribed
into English According to the R.G.S. II. System" (R.G.S. Technical Series: No. 2).
The information was based on Mr. C. H. Armbruster's " Initia Amharica " and
Major J. P. Alone's " Short Manual of the Amharic Language."

Amharic (Abyssinian).

AMHARIC is a language of Semitic origin, and is akin to the Bega
language of the Hadendoa Arabs. Although it has no close con-
nection with Arabic, it has nevertheless some of the features of that
language, as Arabic scholars would discover.

The written Amharic alphabet, or rather syllabary, consists of 31 con-
sonants and 2 vowels, each of the 33 having 7 forms according to the
vowel-sound pronounced with it, i.e. neutral, a, e, i, o, u, and vowelless
(or sometimes i as in it) ; in addition, there are 24 characters representing
certain of the consonants followed by wa (often pronounced 6a), 5 ditto
by wi, 5 ditto by wo, 5 ditto by wu (or sometimes wi as in wit), 4 ditto
by we, and 2 ditto by ya. This makes a grand total of 276 different
characters ; but it is not considered necessary to print them all here, the
simplest form (i.e. that with the neutral vowel-sound) only being given.
The following, however, is an example of the possible changes of a single
character : ft ko, 1} ka, \h ke, H. ki, fa ko, Ifh ku, Ifl k (or ki as in
lit), ^>, kwa (or koa), Vj, kwe, Vl«- kwi, Jl° kwo, Yf" kwu (or kwi, as
qui in quit).

Most of the simple characters have similar attachments for similai
vowel-sounds, but some of the forms vary. Those marked * have the wa
form in addition to the 7 vowel forms ; those marked f have the wa, we
(except *Jl = kh-), wi, wo, wu (or wi as in wit) forms in addition to the
7 vowel forms. Only m and r have ya forms.

Amharic consonants are sometimes doubled in pronunciation ; but this
doubling cannot be indicated by Amharic characters; e.g. htf.tl : h(\(\
= Addis Ababa, h(\£, = Abbai.

Amharic, unlike Hebrew and Arabic, is written from left to right.
The punctuation marks are : end of a word, : semicolon, :: full-stop
:".: end of a paragraph.

In the transliteration of Amharic in the List of Names the neutral
vowel has generally been rendered by a, but in a few cases by e (e.g.
Ankober, Debra).

PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES
FOR BRITISH OFFICIAL USE.

FIRST GENERAL LIST OF NAMES IN
THE EMPIRE OF INDIA.

Published for the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names by the
Boyal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London, S.W.I.
May, 1924.

Pbice Sixpence.

The Permanent Committee on Geographical Names, having resolved to
adopt for Indian names the spellings of the Survey of India, which follows
those of the Imperial Gazetteer, has compiled the following List of Names
for the benefit of those persons to whom these voluminous authorities are
not readily accessible.

The List has been revised by the Surveyor-General of India.

It will be seen that a great number of the names are spelt conven-
tionally, i.e. not in accordance with the R.G.S. II. System ; and wherever
possible the correct version according to that system has been added.
It has not been considered necessary in this List to take up space by
giving the spelling in native characters.

The long vowels have been marked exactly as in the Imperial
Gazetteer. These long signs are not intended for ordinary use, but serve
to show the correct native pronunciation. It must be noted that " a," if
not marked in the List with the long sign, is pronounced like the a in
butt. The conventional pronunciation prevalent among Europeans and
many natives often disregards the length of the vowels, e.g. Himalaya
is conventionally pronounced as Himaleya, Hyderabad as Haidarobiid.

The Introductory Notes to the Imperial Gazetteer call attention to
two points. "In the first place, the Arabic k, a strong guttural, has
been represented by h instead of q, which is often used. Secondly,, it
should be remarked that aspirated consonants are common, and, in
particular, dh and //* (except in Burma) never have the sound of /// in
' this ' or ' thin,' but should be pronounced as in ' woodhouse ' and ' boat-
hook.'" Similarly, l>lt should be pronounced as in 'cabhorse.' AYith
regard to Burmese, " gy is pronounced almost like j in 'jewel': ky is
pronounced like ch in 'church': th is pronounced in some cases as in
' this,' in some cases as in ' thin ' : w after a consonant has the force of
mo: thus, ywa and pwe arc disyllables, pronounced as if written yutoa
and puicc. It should also be noted that, whereas in Indian words the
accent or stress is distributed almosl equally <>n each syllable, in
Burmese tln-re is a tendency to throw special stress on the last syllable."

PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES
FOR BRITISH OFFICIAL USE.

FIRST LIST OF NAMES IN PALESTINE.

Published for the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names by tlie
Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London, S.W.7;

Price Sixpence.

The following List of Names in Palestine, having been submitted through
H.M. Secretary of State for the Colonies to the High Commissioner,
and referred by him for correction to special Arabic and Hebrew sub-
committees, is now published by the Permanent Committee on Geographical
Names for British Official use.

N.B. — This is not intended to be a list of Biblical Names, though

several of these occur in it.

Edward Gleichen, Maj.-Gen.,

Chairman, P. C.G.N.

Kensington Gore, London, S.W.7. February, 1925.

The pronunciations are in accordance with the R.G.S. II. System, for which
see Gcog. Jour., Jan. 1921, Vol. lvii, pp. 40-43; or an explanatory leaflet can bo
had on application to the Secretary, P.C.G.N., Royal Geographical Society.

The acute accent ' indicates the stress, and the italic e is the neutral vowel
as in often.

Tho mark — shown over tho long vowels is optional ; but the inverted comma '
representing the Arabic letter c and tho Hebrew J? is essential.

Tho Committoc, having been assured that in Hebrew tho letter p, which
corresponds to Arabic J = q, is pronouncod in a distinctly ditlerent way from tho
letter 2, which corresponds to Arabic J = k, has decided to transliterate it q.

Similarly, the Hebrew letter |~l, which corresponds to Arabic - = h, though a
stronger aspirato than n (= 8 = n)> ls n°t so guttural as 3 (= ^ = kit) and is
transliterated It, and not lh.

With regard to tho Hebrew letter V, now pronounced Is, tho Committee has
deoided to retain tho conventional transliteration z, whilo adding in every case tho
correct pronunciation (see Hefzi Bah, Mi/pi, etc.).

The Arabic vowel fat-ha is rondercd in this List by cither a or e according to
local pronunciation. In the definite article <^ the vowel is sometimes mute, as
in Tell el 'Ujul, pronounced Toll li'jul.

PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES
FOR BRITISH OFFICIAL USE.

FIRST GENERAL LIST OF EUROPEAN

NAMES.

The spelling of the European place-names in the following list is that
decided on by the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for
British Official Use. It is recognised that the spelling of names is not
ronsistent, e.g. two places in the same country may be given, one in the
native and the other in a conventional form. The aim throughout has
been to give the former precedence over the latter, but owing to confirmed
usage a large number of conventional spellings have had to be retained.

In the new states of Central Europe many place-names have been
changed by the change in official language ; and in other countries, e.g.
Sweden and Holland, a new spelling has been officially adopted.

In this list many popular mis-spellings and mis-pronunciations have
been corrected, and it is hoped that the list will supply a standard for
spelling these names in the future.

Alternative spellings are given for use when the printer has not
the necessary varieties of type, as in Rumanian, Polish, etc. Where the
diacritical marks are retained without an alternative being given, the
alternatives would be represented by the name with the diacritical marks
omitted. The Committee strongly recommend that these marks be
retained wherever possible.

This list will be followed by further lists of European, Asiatic, African,
American and Australasian names, to be published as leaflets with the
Geographical Journal.

The following List, which has been prepared in collaboration with the
Czechoslovak Legation, applies to Bohemia only, and will be followed by
a Second List applying to the rest of Czechoslovakia, viz. Moravia,
Silesia, Slovakia, and Carpathian Ruthenia.

The approximate distance and bearing from the capital (sidlo) of the
county (zupa) in which the place is situated is given with every name.

The Pronunciation of Czech.
Czech. R.G.S. II.

ts (as in rats).

ch (as in church).

kh (as ch in loch).

dy, d' (as d in duty).

j (English).

ye (as in yet).

y (consonant).

u\ and wr (as in pulp, And. furnace).

ny, n' (as n in new).

o (as in both).

rzh (or r + j French).

sh (as in sheepish).

ty, t' (as t in tune).

The soft or voiced consonants b, d, dz, dz, g, h, v, z, z, at the end of a word of
more than one syllable or before any of the hard or unvoiced letters p, t, c, e, k, ch,
f, s, §, are themselves pronounced as their hard or unvoiced equivalents (just
mentioned) ; e.g., Zizkov is pronounced Zhishkof.

The acute accent ' in Czech merely lengthens and does not stress a vowel. The
stress is always on the first syllable.

It may be added that the word "Czech " is purely conventional, being the Polish
spelling of "Cech," pronounced Chekh, which strictly means "a Czech man,"
" a Bohemian " ; the language is properly " C'esky," pronounced Cheski.

see Geog. Jour., Jan. 1921, Vol. lvii, pp. 40-43; or an explanatory leaflet can be
had on application to the Secretary, Permanent Committee on Geographical Names,
at the Royal Geographical Society.

The acute accent ' in the pronunciations indicates the stress. [N.B. — In Czech
the acute accent ' indicates a long vowel and not the stress, which is always on the
first syllable.] The apostrophe ' indicates a liquid sound.

a, c, u = the neutral vowel as in m«rine, often, difficult.

FIRST GENERAL LIST OF OCEANIC

NAMES (FOREIGN DEPENDENCIES).

Published for the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names by the
Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London, S.W.I,

May, 1922.

Trice Sixpence.

The following List of Oceanic Names refers to all the Micronesian,
Melanesian and Polynesian territories (except a few small rocks and
reefs) under foreign administration, but not to those under the administra-
tion of Great Britain, Australia or New Zealand, which will be dealt
with in separate Lists to be published after reference to local authorities.

The names are of islands or groups, uidess it is stated otherwise.

Some of the numerous variants given for the Micronesian islands in
the Grosser Deutscher Kolonialatlas have been omitted in this List.

The thanks of the Committee are due to one of their number,
B. Glanvill Corney, Esq., l.s.o., for preparing the Polynesian names, and
to Sidney 11. Hay, Esq., for revising the Micronesian and .Melanesian
names.

Tnr. following List of Names in Fiji, having been submitted through
E.M. Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Governor and revised
by him, is now published by the Permanent Committee on Geographical
Names for British Official Use.

lit this List the P.C.G.N. has made use of ih for the sound (as in
they) which should strictly be rendered by dh according to the 1L<!.S. II,
System ; ih has been regarded in this case as established by convention.

The P.C.G.K has decided not to adopt the very arbitrary system of
Fijian spelling introduced by the Wesleyan Missionaries, namely -

This •' Fijian " spelling has been mentioned in every case where it.
differs from P.C.G.N. spelling. Most maps, etc., of Fiji published
hitherto have confused these two systems.
