# Hvardiiske

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Гвардійське.

## English name

**Hvardiiske** — 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:

- **Hvardiyske** — Older Ukrainian-based spelling retaining y for й; also used in English accounts of the nearby airfield.
- **Gvardeyskoye** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.
- **Sarabuz** — Crimean Tatar historical name; also used for the railway station and airfield. Restoration as the settlement name has been proposed, not established here as an enacted change.
- **Spat** — Historical name of a constituent settlement, not an unrestricted synonym for the whole modern place.
- **Hvardiïske** — French-language form, useful when an English text quotes a French map, report or source title; not the English main name.
- **Hvardiys’ke** — BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently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.
- **Hvardiys'ke** — Plain-apostrophe typography of the BGN/PCGN 1965 form; standard-derived retrieval variant.
- **Gvardìjsʹke** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Hvardiĭsʹke** — 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.
- **Гвардійське** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.

## French name

**Hvardiïske** — Attested French reference spelling; the diaeresis in ï keeps the vowel sequence visible. French reporting also uses the Russian-based Gvardeïskoïe, especially for the airbase.

Other forms in use:

- **Gvardeïskoïe** — Russian-based French spelling used by Le Parisien and the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique in 2022, particularly for the airbase.
- **Sarabuz** — Crimean Tatar historical name retained for French historical retrieval; not asserted to be the enacted current name.
- **Hvardiiske** — International Ukrainian spelling also found in sources quoted by French writers; Hvardiïske adds a diaeresis.
- **Gvardeiskoie** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Gvardeïskoïe for French retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.

## About

Hvardiiske is a settlement north of Simferopol in Crimea, Ukraine. It stands near the Salhyr and a military airfield, and the name Sarabuz survives in accounts of the area's railway and aviation history.

## Notes

Sarabuz restoration appears in proposals from 2023–2024; adoption was not established. Hvardiiske remains main. Sources disagree over 1944/1945 and the relationship between Sarabuz and Spat; no single amalgamation date is asserted. UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty.
