Nyasvizh and Nesvizh are language-mediated forms of the same name, not evidence of a recent municipal renaming. Input label is Ukrainian or indirect; local\_name gives the native spelling. The dated 2007/UN 2012 geographical system is distinguished from Belarus’s replacement domestic rules of 2023.
