Style

Just Yamuna or the Yamuna? Usage switches back and forth in the article at present. I think we should choose one style and stick to it throughout. "The Yamana" sounds more natural to my ears, but which is the more common usage in Indian English (presuming, that is, that we would want to echo it in this article)? -- Picapica (talk) 05:58, 5 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have added 'the' in most of the places where it was needed. VerdictByLogic - Let's Discuss 17:45, 18 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Alternative names

I understand that the river was, or is, sometimes known as the Jamuna or Jumna (see, e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Yamuna_River or https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Jumna). Should these names appear in the lead? Dave.Dunford (talk) 18:09, 2 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Do you have any other reliable source except wikipedia. As citing these source will violate rules. Thank you. Regards, VerdictByLogic - Let's Discuss 17:48, 18 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Yamuna River in India and the Jamuna River in Bangladesh are not the same river. While their names sound similar, they are geographically distinct, flow in different locations, and originate from different sources. Thus, we cannot add it.
