Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany
FishFace@piefed.social 1 day agoI’ll answer your question if you answer the questions I already asked about Wales, England, Germany and Switzerland. Though my position should be obvious.
Türkiye cannot in any reasonable sense be called “original” either - it’s the word naming the country in Turkish but like all words except those coined recently it has undergone etymological changes to become what it is today. Calling it “original” makes it sound like the Turks came up with a name they still use and the English got it wrong. That’s not what happened.
