> This question should be asked to the Swiss themselves, not to any outsider like me. ... To let outsiders decide what a country should be called, despite the country itself objecting, is beyond weird to me. Exonyms are very much a question for the outsiders. Nothing even remotely weird about it. > How would you like it when your colleagues decided to call you by another name, just because they liked it better? But they very often do, so what can you do about that? For example I seriously doubt that any large group outside of China calls Chinese nationals with proper tones, so that's over one billion people being "called by another name" in one fell swoop.
