No.

The Czechs want to be known as, Czechia - many Americans can’t pronounce it correctly, I have heard “Che - chi - a” very often. Thank goodness, I heard the correct pronunciation of the country during the Euro tournament.

No, I will not say, “Türkiye”, absolutely not - I am not Mesut Özil.

I don't really understand why they're forcing this change tbh
 
Obviously, as Turks ventured out of Turkey for business and emigration - they became tired of westerners saying “Turkey”, so the Turks wanted to change to a more ethnic-sounding name.

Me neither. I pronounce it how I do in my language, which is english

Didn't india want to change their name too

It’s mainly because, they did not want to be confused with the wild animal. I am not watching Turkey at the Euros today - because the poor Scottish commentator admitted that they “had” to refer to Turkey by its new name.
 
Europeans are asking for it - don’t be surprised when you meet an American who says, Che’chi’a.
 
It doesn't really matter. Pronounce, it how you want. Turkey shouldn't even be called turkey. Modern Turks hardly have any turkish DNA. Levantines and Turks are practically, the same people these days.

That would be pointless - an Indian is someone from India. In the United States we call the indigenous tribes people and their descendants, Native Americans. The term “Indian” is frowned upon.
 
They is fancy now
 
Call it how I want to :feelshmm:
