Spelling

This should be moved to 'Pyongyang': the longer spelling - who uses it? - looked like a mistake & I corrected it at North Korea. Ro Thorpe 21:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC) - Ah, the Revised Romanisation...not, it seems, a massive hit... Ro Thorpe 22:56, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

The background is that "yeo" is a phoneme different from "yo" (and "ye-o"): "Yeo" is pronounced similar to the "yo" in "Yoghurt", while "yo" is more like in "Yoga". --Daniel Mietchen 01:48, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
