Spelling can change -- do your utmost

You misunderstood my solution. what i meant was wherever in the article it mentioned salwar, to be changed to Shalwar/Salwar. Not just the first line. [[User:198.7.249.101|198.7.249.101]] 22:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 
: NO. That's using the article to propagandize for your preferred version. Furthermore, your claim re google hits is wrong. You weren't doing the search correctly, with quotes. There is no reason to compromise. By WP rules, re ghits, salwar kameez is the correct version '' for English''. If you want to use your preferred transliteration when you write letters or newspaper articles or whatever, be my guest. If you get enough English-speaking people to agree with you, the spelling will change. Language does change; I proofread lots of 18th and 19th century writing and the accepted spelling of some words (dispatched/despatched, frex) was quite different then.
