Pur/Pura/Puram/Pore/Puri (Sanskrit)- fortified town
Gaon(common Indo-Aryan)- village/vile
Nagar(common Indo-Aryan)- city/town
Abad (Persian)- settlement/town
Halli (Kannada) – village/small settlement

Uru/Ore (common Dravidian)- town/city
Ong (common Tibeto-Burman)- geographical feature/settlement characteristics (google said so)
Wadi/Wada (Marathi)- settlement/residential enclosure
Patti (common Dravidian)- settlement/hamlet/cattle pen
there is a county in Hungary called Bihar.
Where is -sar, found a lot in Rajasthan
Hah, and all of these can be found in Delhi. Maybe except for Halli, not sure I know a Delhi district with that suffix.
One interesting observation is use of Kot/Kottam (as in Rajkot, Pathankot, etc.).
Wassup my Nagar
Mumbai and Pune not using suffixes👍
Loved it
Can you share how to make data maps like this? I am trying to learn. Please share some free resources if possible
Ganj?
I think more work needs to be done on this and it will be so much cooler! Like Kote/Kot you are missing. Also would be interesting to mix Palli and Halli, since they are technically the same will also show interesting patterns. Also Khede/Kheda would be one to add.
The biggest misses of this map are East Indian toponym suffixe most of which are Austro-Asiatic in nature. There are many, but the most common ones which would’ve made the cut are –
-bari,
-ra,
-da/daha,
-di/dihi,
-tala/tola/tallah,
-pukur/pokhar/pokhari.
East India would be more colourful if even these five-six were taken into consideration.
Forgot the iconic „dih“
It’s the most common suffix for places in eastern parts of India
Well, This Map Literally Ignored All These Odia Oikonyms: [https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1udljp3/comment/othkkvx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1udljp3/comment/othkkvx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
