    That's not a "recent transfer" but an old borrowing. In any language
    old geographical borrowings may have special rules. You do write (and
    do pronounce according to the different English spelling) Moscow and
    Cracow for Moskva and Kraków in English...

    Of course, there is Bécs for Vienna, Párizs for Paris, Róma for Rome,
    Hága for The Hague, etc.
    However there's no **Vasington, **Loszendzselesz, **Csikágó, **Saó
    Pauló, **Sziudád de Mexikó/Mexikó Sziti, etc.
