Paris is not the Capital of Belgium

Hi I was concidentally reading this page and there is a mistake.

Paris is the capital of France. Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the European Union. 2A02:1810:4F3A:D00:693F:409:6142:4B7D 20:53, 8 Oketopa 2024 (UTC)

Names in Māori are not the same as those in English, and in particular the cities and countries which were have been familiar to 19th century Māori people were given Māori names which were not just transliterations. Paruhi is the Māori name for Brussels, capital of Pehiamu (Belgium), according to our article. The English name has many sounds that don't exist in Māori, so it isn't surprising the name is very different. Parī is the capital of Wīwī (France).-gadfium (talk) 01:59, 9 Oketopa 2024 (UTC)
