Notes
Latvian Rēzekne and Latgalian Rēzne are living regional forms, not a recent renaming. Input label 'Резекне' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local_name is restored to the native-language form. Less common cross-language forms are for historical or regional text recognition, not recommendations for ordinary modern prose.
