Re: [Talk-br] name of some particular streets

[Roger C. Soares]

Also, about accents, I wouldn't worry too much, it can be confusing even for a native speaker :). We usually find the names without accents on the streets and it doesn't affect searching. So, in case of doubt you can write it without accent.

Right now, I am working on the village of Buranhém, Bahia. (By the way, does one say „Bahia state“ or „federal state of Bahia“ ?) There, I want to add some street names, taken from IBGE Mapa de Setores Urbanos. One street, obviously the same street, has two names RUA SETE DE SETEMBRO and RUA 07 SETEMBRO. I prefer the first variant. Since I am not a native speaker of Portuguese I am not sure whether to put the „de“ word in Capitals? Now, I wrote Rua Sete de Setembro is this correct? There are some other street names, which, as you know, are in Upper Case and therefore I ask for assistance whether some letters need diacritics ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic ) and which words of the names need to have an upper case first letter.
