Notes
Historical name New York restored on 1 July 2021, replacing Novhorodske. English main preserves the established English form rather than forcing Niu-York. French main Niou-Iork is independently attested in Le Monde. Novogorodskoïe is an attested French reference irregularity, not the strict transcription. https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2023/12/27/guerre-en-ukraine-a-force-de-franchir-tous-les-paliers-de-la-peur-j-ai-compris-que-je-ne-suis-rien-juste-un-corps-en-vie_6207872_3210.html Formal romanization variants are search aids and do not establish common usage in either language.
