Noticed English-speaking Euro announcers are using the Turkish spelling and pronunciation of Turkey. This is a new thing, no? Seems fine, though they aren’t calling Germany “Deutschland,” for example. Just curious what prompted the change.

Turkey changes its official name to Türkiyewww.npr.org The Turkish government is asking that the country be called by its Turkish name, a change which the United Nations has now adopted.

Lmao not the whole article still referring to it as Turkey I for one am a fan, Türkiye is much nicer. Turkish, Türkiye. Nice.

Thank you for this. I had missed this news at the time and had been wondering where the new spelling came from. Greatly appreciated.
