Y >

Y (uitspraak ie zoals in dier) is een dorp en gemeente in Somme (Picardië, Frankrijk). De gemeente heeft 96 inwoners (2005), is 2,73 km² groot en is samen met Å in Noorwegen de kortste plaatsnaam van Europa. Wereldwijd zijn er nog een paar éénletter-plaatsnamen zoals U in Panama.In Alaska is er nog een plaats die Y heet. De postcode van Y is 80 190, de INSEE-code is 80 829 en de inwoners noemen zichzelf Ypsilonien(ne)s.


Y (pronounce like i in animal ;) :P) is a village in Somme (Picardie region). It has 96 inhabitants and is 2.73 square kilometers of size. Together with Å in Norway it's the shortest town name in Europe. World wide are a few more one-letter-town names, like U in Panama. In Alaska is another town called Y. The zipcode of Y is 80190. The INSEE-code is 80829. The inhabitants call themselves Upsiloners/Upsilonan.

I hope translation was right. On wikipedia the Dutch text about Y was the most usefull for me.

and in french:

Y est un village de la Somme (dans la Région Picardie). Il comporte 96 habitants et mesure 2,73 kms². Avec Å en Norvège, c'est le plus court nom de ville en Europe. De par le monde il existe quelques autres villes avec une seule lettre dans leur nom, comme U au Panama. En Alaska se trouve une autre ville nommée Y. Le code postal de Y est 80190. Le code de l'INSEE [Institut National de la Statistique
et des Études Économiques] est 80829. Les habitants se sont eux même appelés les Upsiloniens.

just testing my new signature
Jelle zonder internet. Het was een leuke hobby, maar niet mijn hobby. Een leven zonder internet is mijn ding. Een leven van geld uitgeven in plaats van tracken zeg maar.... hahaha. Ja, er mag gelachen worden.
Inloggen op site lukt niet meer, maakt niet uit. Ik snap toch niets van nieuwe biljetten :lol:

And you've got a river that has a name consisting of either one or two letters depending on how you think about the subject. And which gets ordered in any random place in the alphabetics.

I wonder if they have any shop in that town : 96 inhabitants ? It's not sure if they have a bakkery or something where you can get money from...

I would advise not to go there on a Sunday, you might be disappointed to have made the trip for nothing... :lol:
