Why are English speakers calling Turkey Türkiye?

394 views

I mean I really don’t have any problems with saying it like this, just don’t understand the need. We don’t call Germany Deutschland or Japan Nihon, so why are people saying Türkiye?

I might accept the new name if they bothered to recommend a new english name that uses letters in the english language. What the fuck is a ü?

Afaik it stems from the govt not liking how their name in English is the same as the fowl we eat at Thanksgiving. They want people to call it that but outside of official governments no one cares because for most people over the age of 12 no one cares that the country and the bird have the same name

I used to call my neighbor Greg. About a month ago he mentioned that he likes being called Gregory. I call him Gregory now because he likes that. No one is making me call him Gregory but it’s an easy thing for me to do that makes his life a little nicer.

This is the same.

Turkey needs to feel special, I guess. I see it spelled that way in print often now, but it is always pronounced same as before when I hear it spoken.
