I found many name of cities with double, three or more consonants. How to do the right fragmentation and acceptable in the relevant countries if we have to write it in the limited space and need another line below.

Example:
Tarnowskie : Tarnow-skie or Tarnows-kie
St. Petersburg : Peter-sburg or Peters-burg

which one the rightest?

Well, St. Petersburg is simple, Petersburg is Peters town
So I would put Peters-burg
Or if you are old enough, Leningrad. :p :

It lacks a few vowels to make it an curse word, or it's an obscure Czeck dialect word for rasberry pudding. ;)

Newcastle and Gateshead are always challenging to outsiders. As is Cowpen and Ponteland.

Let me have a guess: New-castle, Ga-tes-head, Cow-pen, Pont-e-land? Am I close? :o

This is to let you know that our language is the easiest one to learn. It might because we don't have tenses and complicated grammar, but the most important is all words are spelt using natural pronunciation, that enable child learn it easily.

well you might be confused because it was only my own term :)

Tarnowskie remains unanswered.
Like Peters-burg I think it should be Tarnows-kie.

I see some Polish here might be able to help except Kubica :D
