"Türkiye" meaning in English

See Türkiye in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈtʊə(ɹ).kɪə/, [ˈtuːɹ.ki.jə]
Etymology: Unadapted borrowing from Turkish Türkiye. First adopted in 2020 by the Turkish Exporters Assembly and then by the Turkish government in December 2021 to replace the exonyms of Turkey in other languages. In English, the change has been attributed to confusion with the noun senses of the homonym turkey. In June 2022, the United Nations accepted the country's request to change its official name there.
