Talk:Iguassu Falls
From Academic Kids
The English term is Iguassu. In Portuguese, it is spelled "igaçu" without an accent; words ending in l, u, z, i, or r in Portuguese have the emphasis on the last syllable unless they are accented. See www.fozdoiguacu.pr.gov.br.
[edit]
IGUAÇU
In portuguese it is called Iguaçu and not igaçu. What should we do with the Iguaçu article. Should we merge or...?
- Iguaçu and Iguassu Falls are two different articles (the river and the waterfalls).
- Iguassu is the English name, prefered over Portuguese Iguaçu or Spanish Iguazú. (It's a Guarani name, and they had no writting).
