Will the press fall all over themselves to accommodate the new spelling, the way they took Kiev and made it “Kyiv”?
Russian spellings, among others, have a lot of variations. Like Czar or Tsar? Is it -ov, -off, -of, or -ow?
HaHA....my thoughts exactly. I guess Turkiye will now be demanding $600B per year for rebuilding and stuff... :0)
yes they will.
There have been other name changes, such as when Peking became Beijing, and Bombay became Mumbai.
