Podlaskie is the historical name

[edit]

Podlaskie is the current and historical name used for the region. (see Talk:Podlaskie Voivodeship for citations).

Additionally, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth page has two maps

  • Map showing voivodeships of the Commonwealth of the Two Nations
  • Voivodeships of the Commonwealth of the Two Nations in 1635

which both refer to the area as Podlaskie.

Podlachian Voivodeship (1513–1795)Podlaskie Voivodeship (1513–1795) —Need to return this article back to it's original name of Podlaskie Voivodeship (1513–1795). This is an argument that had beed resolved in 2008 concerning the mis-use of a Latin derivation instead of using the Polish derivation. See discussion surrounding Talk:Podlaskie_Voivodeship.

  • Oppose. The most common, English name for the region is Podlachia with Podlesia coming in a distant second. Sources such as Historical Atlas of Central Europe (Paul Robert Magocsi), Cambridge History of Poland, The Lands of Partitioned Poland, 1795-1918 (Wandycz), Encyclopedia of Ukraine, Historical Dictionary of Ukraine, and Regions of Belarus all use Podlachia. some other sources such as Shepherd's Historical Atlas and Muir's Historical Atlas use Podlesia. I can't find any English sources referring to this (historical) voivodeship as Podlaskie. — AjaxSmack 02:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The link you cite to Shepherd's Historical Atlas doesn't use "Podlachian" or "Podlachia". Ajh1492 (talk) 01:13, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All these sources (I think) are referring to the "Podlachia" region. But there's very few sources which specifically refer to a "Podlachian" voivodeship or region since "Podlachian" is actually a pretty strange creation. On the other hand "Podlaskie" or "Podlasie", often with Voivodeship, is used quite commonly in English sources [1]. For specific examples [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] etc.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Those references are about the current Polish administrative unit. They don't refer to the 1513–1795 unit that is in question here. —  AjaxSmack  22:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There are hardly any references in English to that historical unit. I think that in such case, standarization is the best way: just like we use voivodeship (instead of palatinate or province), if the modern entity is Podlaskie, let's use this name for historical one as well (because in Polish language, both are the same, too). This seems like the most efficient and least confusing solution to me. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 01:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
AjaxSmack's references contradict his assertion . . . THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF POLAND, FROM THE ORIGINS TO SOBIESKI (TO 1696), there are no references to Podlachian in the text. Ajh1492 (talk) 23:02, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
