Adjectives: Bergisch-Märkische and Niederschlesisch-Märkische

[edit]

I can't see any good way of translating these terms where there is no equivalent adjective. At the moment we have the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company, Bergish-Markish would mean inventing adjectives and Berg-Mark Railway Company seems ugly to me. Niederschlesisch-Märkische Eisenbahn might be translated as Lower Silesian-Markish, except that Markish not a recognised adjective. Lower Silesian-Märkische might have to do. Apparently Märkische in this case refers to Brandenburg for what it is worth.--Grahame (talk) 11:47, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
