Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      It's official, Turkey has changed its name to Türkiye. A sad day for lovers of food puns. (As a side note, the United Nations shouldn't have to "approve" a name change. If any given country wants to change its name to Narnia, that should be its prerogative.)
      Warszawa is still Warsaw and Deutschland is still Germany in English, but the name under which they’re recognized at the UN is sometimes fraught.

        Does Turkey/Türkiye refer to itself as he/she him/her/ they/them or zim/zir.

          And Peking is Beijing and Burma is Myanmar, although, much to the annoyance of it's inhabitants, we still say Venice instead of Venezia (or is it saying Naples rather than Napoli)

          There have been lots of changes over the years with Ceylon becoming Sri Lanka, Rhodesia to Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo switched to Zaire and then back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
