Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (:ˈmeːklənbʊʁk ˈfoːɐ̯pɔmɐn) (also known as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in English, nicknamed MV or MeckPomm) is a federated state in northern Germany. The capital city is Schwerin. The state was formed through the merger of the historic regions of Mecklenburg and Vorpommern after the Second World War, dissolved in 1952 and recreated at the time of the German reunification in 1990.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the sixth largest German state by area, and the least densely populated. The coastline of the Baltic Sea, including islands such as Rügen and Usedom, as well as the Mecklenburg Lake District, features many holiday resorts and unspoilt nature, making Mecklenburg-Vorpommern one of Germany's leading tourist destinations. Three of Germany's fourteen national parks are in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in addition to several hundred nature conservation areas.
Major cities include Rostock, Schwerin, Neubrandenburg, Stralsund, Greifswald, Wismar and Güstrow.
The University of Rostock (est. 1419) and the University of Greifswald (est. 1456) are among the oldest in Europe.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the site of the 33rd G8 summit in 2007.
==Name==
Due to its lengthy name, the state is often abbreviated as ''MV'' or (colloquially) shortened to ''MeckPomm''. In English, it is sometimes translated as ''Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania'' or literally ''Mecklenburg-Cispomerania''. Inhabitants are called either ''Mecklenburger'' or ''Pomeranians'', the combined form is never used.
The full name in German is pronounced (:ˈmeːklənbʊɐ̯k ˈfoɐ̯pɔmɐn). Sometimes, ''Mecklenburg'' is pronounced (:ˈmɛklənbʊɐ̯k). This is because the digraph marks a preceding short vowel in High German. Mecklenburg however is within the historical Low German language area, and the "c" appeared in its name during the period of transition to Standard, i.e. High German usage (Low German authors wrote the name ''Meklenborg'' or ''Męklenborg'', depicting proper Low German pronunciation, which itself was a syncope of Middle Low German ''Mekelenborg''). The introduction of the "c" is explained as follows: Either the "c" signals the stretched pronunciation of the preceding "e" ''(Dehnungs-c)'', or it signals the pronunciation of the subsequent "k" as an occlusive () to prevent it from falsely being rendered as a fricative () following a Low German trend. Another explanation is that the "c" comes from a mannerism in High German officialese of writing unnecessary letters, a so-called ''Letternhäufelung'' (lit.: letter accumulation, as was done sometimes in English with words such as "doubt").
