[edit] Name
Just wondering about a name change to Haute-Cerdagne: what do poeple think? Physchim62 (talk) 12:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- For me, as French, it shoulf be called only cerdagne. If you, as native english speaker, believe it should be called Haute-Cerdagne, I agree. --Maurice27 22:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cerdagne presumably includes the part that rested with Spain, ie Cerdanya (comarca). Geographically and together, they form the upper valley of the Segre. The part which was transferred to France is the higher of the two parts, and is refreed to in Catalan as Alta Cerdanya. Note to Catalan editors: it is PoV to refer to the current comarca as Baixa Cerdanya, as its official name is simply Cerdanya. "Upper Cerdania" doesn't really mean anything at all in English, although it is a reasonable translation, so I propose Haute-Cerdagne as a compromise name... :) Physchim62 (talk) 15:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
