	Talk:kŭrdzhali - Wiktionary
		I expect that if Кърджали made it into the news tomorrow it would be Kurdzhali, mainly because the u-breve isn't in Latin-1, but in sources that have access to proper typography, it will be Kŭrdzhali.
		Actually I think the standard spelling in English would be Kurdzhali, which actually reflects the pronunciation better—a may suggest a ъ-like sound in general (You're Bulgarian — we're talking schwa here, right?), but before r suggests a sound more like /ɑr/ (as in English "are").
		Looking at it now I expect that the common name "Kurdzhali" took hold in English (as an accentless rendering, over the 1:1 Romanization "Kŭrdžali", which can't drop its accents unambiguously) and that the breve, while not essential, belongs according to the diacritics-make-better-spelling "rule" I mentioned above.
