Basis: GEOnet does not list Xian as an alternative form of Xi'an, which means that the form Xian is 'outside the box' to some degree and really needs some explanation. This note helps any poor readers who have gotten this deep into Wiktionary to understand the difference between Xi'an (the OG English loan word with a syllable-dividing mark) and Xian. With this extra link, now they know what it's called. undo
