Bacteria[edit]

Is it just me who constantly sees an extra "e" in this region's name? :) ϒpsilon (talk) 19:51, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I never thought of it, probably because I'm familiar with Alexander the Great's conquest of Bactria - one of the few really successful conquests of the area, I think. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:58, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Neither me because I pronounce Bactria as "Bakhtar". --Saqib (talk) 21:10, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is that used in English? Should it or other spellings be created as redirects? Pashley (talk) 21:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think no because "Bakhtar" is pronounced in Urdu and in few other languages such as Arabic and Persian. --Saqib (talk) 21:45, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
