Germania
Saksa

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

• in German I write Türkei

Since I rarely write in German, that's how I get by.

 

[Zebra]

Pretty sure they don’t have the authority to demand such a thing

Erdogan is not alone with this arrogant request.
Ivory Coast demands that all the world use only the French name.

Well, to be fair, Côte d’Ivoire is a lot more fun to say

 

[toobfreak]

Turkey demands that the whole world only uses the term Türkiye​

Ahh, shouldn't that say Türkiye demands that the whole world only uses the term Türkiye?

No matter. They aren't calling the shots.

So I will continue to call those turkeys the Ottoman Empire.

Sri Lanka (phonetically "Shree Lonka") Ceylon
Mumbai Bombay
Iraq Mesopotamia
Myanmar Burma
Kolkata Calcutta
Taiwan Formosa
Thailand Siam

The Greeks have called their nation "Hellas" for over 3,000 years, the Germans "Deutschland," but civilized nations don't merit the language-benders' pretense that they're being offended by the traditional- English names.

/---/ Next, Grease will change their name to Silicon or Vegetable Oil.

If they learn to code, they can change it to Geeks

 

[Concerned American]

do you follow this order from the Turkish government?

well, I dont!

I dont like this order

I don't call Germany Deutschland or Japan Nippon either.

 

[Cellblock2429]

I don't call Germany Deutschland or Japan Nippon either.

/—-/ And I don’t call the Atlantic Ocean a pond, a trunk a boot, or a hood the bonnet.

 

[Zebra]

Germany never asked that the whole world to use the name Deutschland.

we should not give in to that stupid demand by Turkey.
btw .... in German it is Türkei.

 

[Zebra]

Apparently everyone else is wrong too. All I saw was everyone calling it "Turkey."

Turkey - Google Search

for me google shows German texts with Türkei

 

[Zebra]

[citygator]

I agree. Just like you cant make anyone stupid enough to mispronounce the Gulf of Mexico.
