Utila, not Útila

[edit]

The correct spelling of the island is Utila, not Útila. I have no idea why someone put that accent on the U. In English, it's roughly pronounced "oo-TEE-la". With the accent, it would be incorrectly pronounced as "OO-tee-la". Mpaniello (talk) 20:28, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be spelled both ways on the Internet: Útila:Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, Visitcentroamerica, Trivago, Iquana Foundation; Utila:About Utila, Utila Dive Center, Utila Guide, Lonely Planet. We need to use the most common form of the name, but we cannot determine that from looking at a couple of pages of Google hits. - Donald Albury 20:57, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Honduran National Institute of Statistics uses "Utila", without an accent.Census - Donald Albury 21:24, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ÚtilaUtila – I was unable to do this on my own. The correct spelling is Utila, not Útila; that accent has no business being there. In Spanish, accents mark stress, so it would move the stress to the first syllable, which would be an incorrect pronunciation of the name. Mpaniello (talk) 20:38, 20 April 2019 (UTC)--Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
