No matter how it been pronounced (Turkia Türkai Turque) but it should type as Turkiye (or Türkiye) whether proper to linguistic rules or not. We do not have to arrange of our country's name for the other languages. If you can pronounce "Gaziantep" "Kahramanmaraş" "İstanbul" "Kırıkkale" and if i can pronounce too many place in the world with their own names so you can easily pronounce this as well. Trinidad / Tobaggo is not proper to my native language either , but it is a name of a country and i both pronounce and type it as the same.

PS : India , in turkish "Hindistan" does not mean of "Land of turkeys" , the people where live in India is called "Hindu" , actually the orgiginal name is "Hinduistan" in turkish , the u was dropped because of the some lingual rules.

I agree Reinhard. I am starting to think that it really doesn't matter what we call Türkiye, just as long as we continue to love the country and talk about it!

At least you are ALWAYS described as Turkish. I am from England but have to endure being described as British, European or English and am described as being from the United Kingdom, Great Britain, Britain, England,The British Isles .... and other names which I won't mention !

Ouh i forgot all the 'foreign language' versions too !
