Goias vs. Goîas

Read below http://www.v-brazil.com/tourism/goias/map-goias.html
Goiás in today a state within Brazil.


Goiás used to be the capital town of the state by the same name.
The capital city, Goiânia, was inaugurated on October 24th 1933; the former capital was the city of Goiás (not shown in the map), which is located about 150 km west of Goiânia (this map shows the relative position between Goiás, Goiânia and Brasília). Being a planned city, Goiânia offers all the commodities of modern society, without the problems brought by overgrowth.

If they don't speak separately of the town and the state than one Goiás should not be there. The itinerary seems to include only states from North to South.

Goiás I would agree with Tristan that the first "Goiás" has crept in inadvertently. In geographical terms, it shouldn't be there.

Thanks, everyone! Will have to call client's attention, then.

Correct Portuguese spellings: Ceará, Rio Grande do Sul, Goiás, Piauí, and São Paulo.

I changed this to Portuguese-En. Has little to do with French imo

zoom out once on the map to see clearly the name of the states..

Tristan Jimenez May 27, 2012:

@ Parrot If you have a look at a map, you'll see that all these names are States. From "Ceara" (north) to "Rio Grande do Sul" (south), going through "Piaui","Goiàs" and "Sao Paolo". As the state of "Ceara" touches the state of "Piaui", I think the first "Goias" in your sentence is a mistake.
Have a look on the map here: http://maps.google.fr/maps?hl=fr&rlz=1C1CHFX_frFR484FR484&ba...

Thanks I supposed as much. Is there any reason they should be written differently?
