On the need to change the orthography of the names of topographic objects

Abstracts

EN

This article proposes changes to the spelling of names of topographic objects. In the author’s opinion, the changes would contribute to the simplification of the spelling of a large group of words and would be consistent with the orthographic practice of a significant number of language users. Topographic names could be spelled according to the rules applicable to geographic names, that is e.g. Rondo Dmowskiego, Cmentarz Łyczakowski, Restauracja pod Dębem, Hala Kopińska, but: hala Wola. It is also proposed to spell the names of inhabitants of towns, cities, villages, and districts with the capital letter, by analogy to the spelling of the names of inhabitants of countries or geographic regions, that is e.g. Gdańszczanin, Chorzowianka. These solutions were proposed by the author already in 2019 at a session of Zespół Ortograficzno-Onomastyczny (Team for Orthography and Onomastics) by Rada Języka Polskiego (Council for the Polish Language).
