2023-02-07 09:24 | Why "Moskvitch", and not "Moskvich", without the "t"? Not only it is the correct English transcription of cyrillic "Москвич", but it is also how they spell it on brochures (at least English ones) and export badges: www.autominded.net/brochure/div9/1969%20Moskvich%2006.jpg  -- Last edit: 2023-02-07 09:25:33 |

2015-11-11 14:56 | Desscythe17 a écrit The English translation should be exactly the way you hear it. So if you hear a v-sound instead of a w-sound, it should be Moskvitch. It might be similar to the centuries-old debate about "vodka" or "wodka". That may be the problem. In czech language, V and W have exactly same pronounciation. But as I thought about it more, I think I somehow get it now (and thanks to IGCD member krq9), because english W sounds similar to mine U, so it would sound more oddly. -- Last edit: 2015-11-11 14:57:11 |

2015-11-11 10:31 | JFK a écrit If am I not mistaken, cyrilic alphabet doesnt have W at all. I must say though, Moscow would look oddly with normal V, but that is only habit. In fact, I dont see reason why they did W either. For sure it looks odd when we are using W in city name and V in car name. It should be either all W, or all V. You might be overthinking it.

Because in XII century this city was called "Moskov". If am I not mistaken, cyrilic alphabet doesnt have W at all. I must say though, Moscow would look oddly with normal V, but that is only habit.
