How about for towns with two names which are
similar, but spelt

e.g. Cwmbrân (Welsh) and Cwmbran (English) in Wales.

Ironically, I have seen the town written with the Welsh spelling in
English and (once or twice) with the English spelling in Welsh.
I'm not quite sure what the moral of this story is.
Never start a linguistics war in Britain?
Never go up against a Gael when a wiki is on the line?
