Abstract

Language and geographical names are closely related. Place names are always expressed through language. In addition to the function of marking specific places, geographical names can also convey other important meanings and realize national feelings, thoughts, cultures and values. Through analyzing the language of place names, this paper can identify nationalities, clarify the general regions and tracks of their changes and migrations, and realize the clustering of nationalities lived in the places.
