I am using this title ("Palinka") because:
- it is neither Romanian nor Hungarian, so our nationalist drinkers won't get us in any revert-wars :-)
- it the most used in English on the Internet. (google says: 4,570 for palinka+brandy; 4,250 for pálinka+brandy; 407 for palinca+brandy)

- For me, it doesn't make sense to have a word in Misplaced Pages which is neither Hungarian, neither Romanian, and it's not even English, especially when the software easily allows the needed diacritics. I checked Merriam-Webster Online and Encyclopaedia Britannica, but the first doesn't have "palinka", and the second finds two articles for both "palinka" and "pálinka". The only way to be neutral could be to merge this article into brandy. Otherwise, it should rather be renamed to what is meaningful in at least one language.
- Google search now, half a year later, shows that their number is equal (71,300 for both variants and 9,790 for either variant + brandy). Even in your figures, the Hungarian term is only a few percents more popular so it can't be called a standard English version (i.e. the one without accent). Besides, Misplaced Pages often uses the accented variants (based on the redirect) even when average English speakers use the accent-less ones, see e.g. Paul Erdős, rather than Paul Erdos.

- Oppose--common names. Yahoo shows only 2790 for Pálinka brandy, but 8650 for Palinka brandy (also 12 for palincă brandy, and 211 for palinca brandy). AFAIK, both Montreal and Quebec, for example, lost their accents because of the 'common names' policy. Niteowlneils 28 June 2005 21:38 (UTC)
