按照维基百科的说法,Anjer这个城市在19世纪还是一个比较重要的港口,1883年喀拉喀托火山爆发所引发的海啸将这座城市夷为平地。当年第九版的大英百科全书也说:“ANJER, a sea-port town of the Dutch East Indian island of Java, situated on the Strait of Sunda, 18 miles W. of Batavia. It is protected by a fort, and besides carrying on a considerable trade in Eastern curiosities, supplies passing vessels with fresh water and provisions. The population is considerable, but its amount is not known.”
按照我对荷属东印度的理解,如此商贸发达的地方理应有中国人和传统中文名。
