mountain community/settlement Explanation: Webster: In England a village denotes a collection of houses, too small to have a parish church. A village has a church, but no market. A town has both a market and a church or churches. A city is, in the legal sense, an incorporated borough town, which is, or has been, the place of a bishop's see. In the United States these distinctions do not hold. A hamlet is a community smaller than a village. Volevo offrirti qualche alternativa visto che avevo fatto le ricerche,. incuriosita. Hamlet e' sicuramente piu' poetico. Saluti a tutti Paola L M |
