Good morning Turkish sirs!
Why did you change the name of Constantinople? Istanbul nowhere near as kino as Constantinople.
Do name changes happen in your country? It happens in the USA as well. New York used to be called New Amsterdam, and many other French/Spanish/Mexican cities/places changed names once they were acquired by the USA.
get over it
Because Constantinople has connotations with brown people so we changed it to a more Asian sounding name.
Though, with all these brown people currently living here, I don't see a reason for why we shouldn't change it back to Browntantinople.
byzantium tho
Istanbul is also a Greek name, but dialectal. The official Ottoman name for the city was the Greco-Arabic Konstatiniyye, but Ataturk wanted to break with the Arabic-speaking past of Turkey and disassociate the city with the Greeks at once, so he worked with what he had.
>browns
Then why didn't you just go back to BYZANTIVM?
Because they were brown? Turaneli would be a nice name though.
/thread
Obamaville would have been better
>a fucking leaf
don't try it
I don't know any Turkish but it's name didn't change all that much looking at it
eis tan polin (Greek) -> Istanpolin (ottoman) -> Istanbul (turk)
harder to pronounce, the turkish language is made of simple words/syntax etc.
Just fucking name it bosphorus city for fucks sake
why did he remove the arabic name of the city but not of the country?
Well the state isn't called Ottoman anymore, is it?
turkiye is arabic same as konstantiniye
Istanbul sounds paki as fuck, very much more stained by browness
Depends on how you spell it.
I still call it Constantinople by accident sometimes because I can't remember Istanbul for whatever reason.
Constantinople is cringe, its like naming a city Leningrad or Washington, who does that?
Because the Turks never had any names of their own for their regions or countries cf. the Turkic -stan countries of Central Asia.
>Leningrad
You could have just used St Petersburg
You named your cities middlesex Oliver, shut up
I have no issue with st peter.
There is no city called middlesex sir.
It was named after Peter the Great
I see no way to spell it to sound "asian"
There used to be middlesex?
"ı"Stanbul. Neither brownskins or pigskins can spell ı properly only an Asian man have the privilege pronouncing it this way.
britbongs name their towns sussex and then bitch about someone's names
Your doing this on purpose
It's not even an asian word, just the brownification of Costantinopoli
Average UK city names:
