Spelling of Eswatini
[edit]The spelling is in the English languge in the country Eswatini and worldwide officially and formally "Eswatini". (See: Website of "The Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini" <http://www.gov.sz/> / United Nations (UN M49 Standard): <https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/> / ISO 3166: <https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:SZ>) The spelling "eSwatini" is only common in the regional Siswati language. However, this spelling was unfortunately spread on the Internet due to a transmission error by the BBC on the same day of King Mswati III's speech. Thus it was copied also partly by other medias.and webseits and unfortunately also by some Wikipedia language versions. But it is just wrong.--Bestoernesto (talk) 02:12, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
