The maps pages linked here are details from our map of the world
with original scripts, which was issued by Planet Poster Editions in 2006.
The special feature of these maps consists in the names of the localities
being given in their local scripts. Worldwise there are mote than 30 different scripts
in use at official state level (11 of which alone in India).
It is very difficult in the world wide web and in the literature to find
the correct local spellings for localities in southern Asia,
northern Canada (Nunavut) and Ethiopia. In dicitionaries, names of localities
are generally not contained. It is easier to find in a well manages and rich library
like in Göttingen University to find the correct spellings in
Telugu or Kannada for absolutely rare and outdated terms than
the spellings of the metropoles of Bangalore, Hyderabad or Madras, which
belong to the biggest cities of the world.
All maps are screenshots taken from our map of the world file.
This map costs 11,50 Euro, it is presented in detail at
www.planetposter.de and can be ordered at
www.wissenladen.de.

There are very well researched web pages on geography,
and administrational areas of certain countries.
One of the best pages is
www.geonames.de, where names of localities of all countries are
given in their original scripts. One major shortcoming of these pages
is the use of special fonts which can only be read
if you installed them properly.
If not, the original scripts won't show up, only question marks or
wrong encoded characters. Very difficult is Classical Mongolian.
Our map pages were compiled for everybody being able to see the
correct local spellings - in the form of JPG image files which can
be read by everyone without having to install any special font.
Many additional informations were largely taken from
www.geonames.de, the originals can be read there.
