Question

What is the chinese name of chennai,a place in indian.?

Answer 1

I think it's also called as MADRAS, which is derived from "Madraspatnam".

And due to political issue, in late August 1996, the ruling party of Tamil Nadu, where the city is located, announced that Madras would be renamed Chennai.

And, how is it named in China. Well, I think it would be the same. Just somehow, the pronounciation of the name by Chinese tongue might be diferent.

Answer 2

it would be Chennai..

Answer 4

Chennai was formerly known as Madras, and in the ancient times i.e. during 1757 to 1857 it was known as Chenna Patinam. Regarding the chinese name , as far as my knowledge goes, in Chinese also the name will be the same.
