Random musings on toponyms
edit
This is not Wikipedia policy, nor am I proposing it. I'm just stating my personal style which I use outside Wikipedia before I get savaged to death by every nation in Europe.
I apply a policy of enlightened proximity - look for an English name, then prefer Germanic and Romance names on a roughly equal level (I like Aix-la-Chapelle and Trèves , but those are a matter of taste (or lack thereof)), then Greek (preferably Latinised in spelling as much as possible, and failing that Katharevousa), then other Indo-European toponyms, then whatever seems easiest to pronounce.
I am not some German, Italian, or Greek chauvinist, but as a native English speaker, I like Königsberg , Stettin , Landsberg an der Warthe , Breslau , Lemberg , Pressburg , Ragusa , Spalato , Durazzo , Valona , Byzantium , Nicaea , Smyrna , Halicarnassus , Philippopolis , Salonica , Amarussium , Chalcidice (stressed on the second syllable), and so on. I can see instantly how they are pronounced.
