- timeon 4y agoMaybe the bird will be also called türkiye now.
- cetinkaya 4y agoHindistan comes from Hindustan (India in Persian), not from the bird hindi (turkey).
- dizhn 4y agoGood to know. But it doesn't matter in the context of this discussion. It still means Land of Turkeys in Turkish. Not really of course, just like Turkey does not mean turkey in English.
