Chişinău
(Chisinau) is the name in Romanian (locally also known as Moldavian),
spelt in the Latin script. There was also the same name in so called
Moldavian language, which was spelt in the Cyrillic script and is now
abandoned: Кишинэу. Note that
this
was not the Russian name of the city, which albeit also Cyrillic was spelled
was a bit different: Кишинёв. António Martins-Tuválkin, 22 July 2004
