Erdogan wants people to call Turkey "Türkiye" even in English and other languages

[Sol]

No news yet on whether the Turks will reciprocate by calling Germany "Deutschland", Greece "Ελλάδα" or China "中国".

How about Georgia "საქართველო".

Though of course Georgia has actually been pushing countries to call them by their western exonym Georgia rather than their Russian exonym Gruziya. You'd think Sakartvelo would be even more attractive, given the whole U.S. state issue, but who am I to say?

As for the name change to Tyrkije (y can be used instead of ü and j can be used a consonant version of y).

Not in Turkish! That would be read as [tjɾkiʒe] or something which isn't even a valid sequence of sounds in Turkish. Or in the vast majority of the word's languages, including English, though you could maybe anglicize it to [tjɚkiʒeɪ] "tjerk-eezhay" or something, which would be much further away from the Turkish pronunciation than an anglicized Türkiye or the original English Turkey.

Turkish uses <y> for [j] because it's already using <j> for [ʒ]. The romanization of postalveolars in Turkish is very odd; it uses <ç c ş j> for [t͡ʃ  d͡ʒ ʃ ʒ], which is a bit odd and inconsistent and produces the very unintuitive use of <c>. Of course, the oddness makes sense when you remember that the Turkish language reformers were Francophiles, which explains the use of <ç> and <j> for [ʒ].

In French ... <u>.

...no??

u is [y]

In fairness I think he maybe switched to discussing [y], because he references Scandinavia and Finland before where [y] is <y>.
