Woah there... Türkiye could very well become the English name as well. Language is fluid. It really depends on if they ask English speakers to change, and if they do.
Czechia has had a fairly successful transition.
- fnord123 4y agoIt's unlikely that English speakers will use diacritics except as a point of trivia. Cafe, naive and even resume have lost their diacritics in practice (ime).

- zarzavat 4y ago“Czech Republic” was always a mouthful so it’s unsurprising that Czechia caught on. But if they had made it Česká then I doubt it would have been adopted so easily.
- Markoff 4y agoIt didn't really caught on, still way too many English media use Czech Republic instead Czechia, honestly I've never used Czech Republic, it was always Czechia even before they officially applied for UN change. It would be also nice, if they finally stopped using Czechoslovak flag and uphold dissolution agreement that no successor country can use Czechoslovak flag, becayse you know that blue triangle in flag represents Slovakia, so it's quite funny they keep using it. The solution is obvious, use previous "Polish" style flag and just slap on it the emblem with lion to distinguish from Poland.
