[edit] Varosha

Any idea what it means? Many cities seem to have a "Varosha" quarter — Blagoevgrad, Razgrad, Rousse, and apparently Varosha in the Cypriot city of Famagusta. --Cameltrader 19:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Város means "city" in Hungarian.[1] E.g. there's a quarter of Budapest called Ferencváros. Dunno if the Hungarians borrowed it from the Turks or vice versa, but varoş means "suburb(s), outskirt(s)" in Turkish.[2] Quite curious... one of these words that can be found in several languages and their origin is unclear (like kukuruz).

Interesting. Thanks. So, the Varosha article should be something more general, at least a disambiguation page. --Cameltrader 20:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Certainly :) Todor →Bozhinov 20:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
