[Ads-l] Turkey is now "T ürkiye"

[Tom Zurinskas]

Turkey has a new name "TüTrkiye" which unfortunately uses a special symbol.  The US should that the ü  be keptep it u . For keyboard friendliness and clarify pronunciation.

Pronunciations for Turkey ~Terkee in truespel that I hear on youtube are at keast four:

Hear me say these at https://lnkd.in/eQFvzvM2
1 ~Tookeeyu (stress is 1st syllable) (ending ~u is" uh")
2 ~Terqkeeyu (rq = flapped r)

3 ~Terkkeeyu (stress comes after double consonant kk)

4 ~Tuerkeeyye (~ue as in "true")
