I think ตำบลโพนสว่าง should be spelt Phon Sawang and not Pho Sawang. The letter "น" equates to the letter "n" and is pronounced, not silent. Or is this some unusual spelling dictated by a Thai bureaucrat?
It was my mistake, I simply overlooked that character. There was only one publication so far on the recommended English spellings of subdistricts, but for new names no recommended English spelling is given.
