# Chornomorske

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Чорноморське.

## English name

**Chornomorske** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, recommended by the UN in 2012 and adopted by BGN/PCGN in 2019.

Other forms in use:

- **Chernomorskoye** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.
- **Ak-Mechet** — Russian-mediated spelling of the Crimean Tatar historical name, replaced in the Soviet period in 1944.
- **Aqmeçit** — Crimean Tatar historical name; refers here to the coastal settlement, not Simferopol, also known as Aqmescit.
- **Kalos Limen** — Ancient Greek settlement at this site; an archaeological predecessor, not a synonym for every modern use of Chornomorske.
- **Tchornomorske** — French-language form, useful when an English text quotes a French map, report or source title; not the English main name.
- **Chornomors’ke** — BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Chornomors'ke** — Plain-apostrophe typography of the BGN/PCGN 1965 form; standard-derived retrieval variant.
- **Čornomorsʹke** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Chornomorsʹke** — ALA-LC Ukrainian table (2011 edition), for bibliographic retrieval; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Чорноморське** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.
- **Aqmecit** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Aqmeçit for English retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.

## French name

**Tchornomorske** — Attested French reference spelling; tch renders ч.

Other forms in use:

- **Tchernomorskoïe** — Russian-based French form used by the Reuters French service in 2014 and given in the French reference entry.
- **Ak-Metchet** — French-style rendering of the historical Crimean Tatar name, via Russian; not a current Ukrainian official name.
- **Kalos Limen** — Ancient Greek site used in French archaeological writing; not the whole modern settlement.
- **Chornomorske** — International Ukrainian spelling available in French; Tchornomorske uses French tch for ч.

## About

Chornomorske is a coastal settlement on the Tarkhankut Peninsula in western Crimea, Ukraine. Nearby are the remains of the ancient Greek settlement of Kalos Limen.

## Notes

Crimean settlement on the Tarkhankut Peninsula, not Chornomorske near Odesa or the city Chornomorsk. Ukrainian national form is main in English; the attested French reference form is Tchornomorske. Aqmeçit and Aqmescit should not be silently conflated. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
