Particulars:
Dashes above vowels as diactritic marks are not correctly shown, they are poorly replaced by accent acute. Points under consonants are not placed at all.
The articles like "Ad", "Al", "An", "Ar" and "Ash" have no influence on the alphabetical order of the names, because they have been ignored.
Included are cities with over 5,000 inhabitants in 1965 as mentioned in source HW.
Figures before 1920 are all based on estimates.
