Talk:Raging Neisse

Szalona Neisse

Shouldn't this article be 'Szalona Neisse', along the same lines as Lusatian Neisse? The primary river itself is known as the Neisse in English, not the Nysa. Antman -- chat 16:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Nope. Google Books show not a single hit for such a weird name ("Szalona Neisse"). Even main Google search returns zero results for it. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

• What would be pronounciation of Neisse in English?

I'd pronounce it the German way which sounds something like "nicer". But readers coming across it for the first time might pronounce it "nace" I guess, so I've added a footnote. Bermicourt (talk) 08:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Nysa or Neisse ?

What backs that version Neisse is better than Nysa ? The name itself is very old and as far as known, from late prehistory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:5991:2D00:9CEC:55D3:AAC9:2C0E (talk) 12:36, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Neither is "better". However, "Raging Neisse" is the preferred English name, whereas Nysa Szalona is the Polish and Wütende Neiße or Jauersche Neiße are the German names. All are included in the first sentence of the article and are redirects as well. The Raging Neisse is most notable for its role in the Battle of Katzbach during the Napoleonic Wars.
