For some reason I always figured stary and novy sobor meant "south" and "north" sobor. 

 

But "new" makes more sense. Novaya gazeta, for example.

Interesting. Most of them are just geographical features instead of proper town names. How very ArmA-like.

Cant wait for the new towns and cities that are going to be in the north.  Especially the one in the NE close to Guba qith all the rock cliffs.  That area looks huge from what ive seen.

Its always funny watching youtube when people say I am in Stary, or Novy, when actualy the main word should be Sobor and Stary And Novy, is just old and new. But actualy even russians call it the same now, just to avoid confusion.

Perhaps it was built by Chernobog (the black God).

Or it's probably because there's already a city by that same name in Russia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernogorsk

Which seems to be or at least was a coal mining town, so that could be why it's named that... at least the real town.

I suspect:

 

Погоревка Pogorevka  - a town that was burned down in past

Козловка Kozlovka named for Duke Kozlov  - also Kozlov - Goat

Лопатино Lopatino might be for Pyotr Lopatin - Lopata - Shovel

Рогово Rogovo - horno -vo

obviously theres buried treasure in Lopatino that will take a shovel to uncover!

 

imo there should be some kinda hidden treasure somewhere on the map with maybe some kind of torn pieces of the treasure map scattered all over chernarus?

Original; Translation;how it sounds:

 

Дрожино - Friendly - 

Гвоздно - Nail - Naily

Надеждино - Hope - Hopefully, hopelly

Погоревка - Proverb - Proverbka

Пулково  - This one is tricky. To me in sounds like higher-up, corporal.  Not 100% thought

Рогово - Horn - Horny (lol)

Шаховка - Shaft - Shafty (Like a Mine Shaft)

 

Not sure about the rest. And not 100% sure that I got most right. Just what It sounds like to me (I'm not russian).

I just want to know why the signs only have the russian( or the language used) and the maps only have the english names for cities towns etc lol .

 

I know the map pretty well ( not perfect but well enough lol been on chernarus a few years now) but as it is if you dont know the area it kinda makes things hard and realisticly wouldnt help anyone in real lifeeg your a tourist or a russian it wont tell you were you are have to figure it out ....
