Book excerpt: Place names tell us much about a country — its history, its landscape, its people, its aspirations, its self-image, The study of place names called toponymics unlocks the stories that are in every street name and landmark. In Singapore, the existence of various races, cultures and languages, as well as its history of colonization, immigration and nationalism has given rise to a complex history of place names. But how did these places get their names? This revised and expanded 4th edition of the book incorporates additional information, from archival research as well as interviews that have come to light since the last edition. Also included are many new entries that have presented themselves as Singapore’s built environment undergoes redevelopment. Expanded by over 100 pages.
Download or read book Toponymics written by Victor R. Savage and published by Marshall Cavendish Academic. This book was released on 2003 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents archival work as well as field work and interviews. The introductory chapters provide an overview of the academic importance of studying place names (toponymics). In Singapore, there has been much controversy over place names due to the introduction of Hanyu Pinyin names. Singapore street names are also complicated by the fact that the names represent colonial, Chinese, Malay, Indian and Arab names. On top of that, many street and place names are also referred to by various ethnic groups in a colloquial manner which is quite different from the official name. This book will help developers to be able to name various buildings and other developments in a historically appropriate and culturally relevant manner. It will also be of interest to those who would like to know the history and background of Singaporean street names.

Book Synopsis Kuala Lumpur Street Names: A Guide to Their Meanings and Histories by : Mariana Isa
Download or read book Kuala Lumpur Street Names: A Guide to Their Meanings and Histories written by Mariana Isa and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street names are a many-layered thing – crystallising various eras of history and celebrating multiple generations of people. As the federal capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur’s street names reflect its rich mix of cultures and its journey from colonial past to nationhood. This encyclopedic A-to-Z guide explains the meanings and origins of KL’s street names – those named after notable persons, after prominent landmarks, after local flora and fauna, etc. Themed street names within a particular area are also identified, e.g. the cluster of streets in Taman Sri Bahtera named after traditional Malay boats. Of particular interest is the renaming of streets over the years, ranging from literal translations (e.g. “Church Road” becoming “Jalan Gereja”), to completely new names (“Parry Road” to “Jalan P Ramlee”). Drawing on extensive research into the National Archives, the authors present their wealth of findings in a concise and easy-to-read way that will engage readers of all levels.
