Nope, the official name uses "ü" instead of "u," which really emphasizes that it's not actually a real English toponym and is out of place in English usage. Erd

- selcuka 4y agoIt is a silly move indeed, but an official name doesn't have to use English only characters. The official name of the Ivory Coast has always been "Republic of Côte d'Ivoire".

- dylan604 4y agoI don't know, I can relate to people not pronouncing your name or spelling it correctly. I had an argument with my freshman history teacher about how I was either pronouncing or spelling my name wrong. So, speaking from experience, it is absolutely exhausting having to argue about the spelling and/or pronunciation of one's name. I was just totally unawares that I could petition the UN to have an official decree for people to refer to as the ultimate say. I will have to look into this.
