Name

The second part of the name in the local language - प्रभा - doesn't look much like the name in Google Maps परवाहा; I suspect the latter is correct, because the transliteration of the former is Prabha - the 'pr' sound is as proof in English. The pronunciation of परवाहा is very close to Parbaha; there's a short 'uh' sound (unvoiced vowel) after the प, as distinct from a long 'a' sound (as in 'far') after the ब and the ह. (Note that the spelling is actually व (w), not ब (b); i.e. it should be Parwaha). Someone may want to comment on the correctness (or otherwise) of Google Maps.

@Prisoner of Zenda the current title of the article is per the digital himalaya ref. [1] This gives the Nepali name as खोक्सर प्रवाहा. Because there are so many languages and dialects, I wouldn't know which is the most correct among the options we have in both English and in Devanagari. खोक्सर प्रवाहा/Khoksar Prawaha sounds like the closest to Sanskrit. Since this is in Madhes, the locals probably call it परवाहा. I don't think it matters much, but if you'd like you can move it to Khoksar Parwaha and put in खोक्सर परवाहा as the native name. Regards!

I hoped that the census (ref 3) was bilingual, so that I could get an official version of the name - but I was disappointed: the census info is English only. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 21:19, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
