First, in Zangla he was living in the royal palace (Kharkongma), and not in a monastery (Gonpa). This is a common misconception. Even Ervin Baktay who later found Csoma's room identified it wrongly as a monastery. Second, it seems to me there is a bit if chaos regarding his name. In Hungarian names, family name is first: "Csoma Sándor". "Kőrösi" is an addition usually used by nobles (the Csoma family was an empowered, poor noble family) that denotes the place of origin, or original family estates, respectively in this case the village of Kőrös. The "-i" suffix means "from", and has the same role as the word "de" in the English writing, which, if we keep the Hungarian name order should be Csoma Sándor de Kőrös, and if we use Western name order, it comes out Sándor Csoma de Kőrös. Thus, I don't think the article's title "Sándor Kőrösi Csoma" is correct, and also through the article the form used is varying. However I am not really experienced in Wikipedia so I would let the correcting to someone more competent. --- Best wishes; Storm, a volunteer from the palace restoration in Zangla 62.201.73.100 (talk) 23:30, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dear IP,

would you tell what's your problem and why are you reverting? Thank You!(KIENGIR (talk) 20:01, 13 January 2019 (UTC)) Learn some proper English first. "today as part of X" sounds ridiculous in the first place.Reply

You should comment in the proper place and atleast sign them. Secondly, I don't see why it would sound ridiculous, since the former commune was put as a subdivison along with other communes under a main commune that we refer of. Finally Austrian Empire was proclaimed in 1804...(KIENGIR (talk) 17:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC))Reply
Can you stop your Covasna thing? Ignorant.
Please moderate yourself, it is a standard that we may identify present-day location, and again, Austrian Empire did not exist at the time of birth.(KIENGIR (talk) 22:07, 16 January 2019 (UTC))Reply
