Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist?

English does use Türkiye now
That’s news to me. But this is also not an American/English thing. In German Turkey is called “Türkei”, which is also proncounced differently.

It really doesn’t hurt to know a bit of the IPA, at least the characters for your own language… I see so many horrible phonetic “transcription” “systems” people use when describing how to pronounce a word, it’s crazy
