When spelling rules or orthographic rules change for a language, this can also have consequences for place names in that language, as hundreds of place names might have to be adapted to the new rules. The same might be necessary when attitudes change, or conversion methods between writing systems. We will look at these issues under the following headings:

H) Application of new spelling rules

I) Opting for new attitudes (e.g. endonyms instead of exonyms)

These aspects will be clarified in the following pages.
