https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2019-80-6-85-90
Abstract
The article examines the current unsolved problems of spelling toponyms: concatenated and hyphenated spelling; the use of capital letters, quotes, and letter ё. The author ascertains the causes of unstable spellings widespread in the printing industry, as well as critically analyses existing rules. Practical recommendations aimed at unifying the spelling of toponyms are given.
