Talk:Sekmai

Is it Sekmai Bazar?Xx236 (talk) 12:38, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Sometimes two places close by may differ in name by the addition of a word (e.g. Matlock and Matlock Bath); in other cases they are simply colloquial and full names for the same place. In yet other cases, one may lie within the other (e.g. Andorra and Andorra la Vella, or Melton and Melton Mowbray). I've done a quick search on Google Maps, and it seems that Sekmai is an area encompassing a number of settlements, some of which have "Sekmai" as part of their names. However, searching for "Sekmai Bazar" brings up a grocery store, and I don't see an actual town labelled with that name. And so I'm confused.... — Smjg (talk) 12:16, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first of those references is unavailable as I try right now. Is it clear that both of these are talking about the same place? — Smjg (talk) 00:03, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
