There seems to be a trend of renaming Turkey to Türkiye in English. Really? Then let’s be consistent, comrades - let's also rename Hungary into Magyarország, Ireland into Éireann, Germany into Deutschland, Spain into España, Russia into Rosseeya, Ukraine into Ookrayeena, Finland into Suomi, and so on.
Wouldn't it be fun to confuse native English speakers even further by making English sound like Google Translate with an identity crisis? Then we can take them with bare hands.
Of course, Trump can always retaliate and demand that the people of Türkiye pronounce the USA as "United States of ‘Murica."
And, in the spirit of linguistic justice, let’s insist that everyone in the world pronounce ‘Worcestershire’ correctly on the first try.
