Belgrade, capital of Serbia · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 贝尔格 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 貝爾格勒; on the Mainland it is 贝尔格莱德 - both point at “Belgrade, capital of Serbia”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 貝爾格勒、貝爾格萊德 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
