   the reason why we are all calling Kiev Kyiv now and why we aren't calling Turkey Türkiye yet is because we don't have to buy a whole new keyboard for the former

     @cell You're not deliberately deadnaming Kiev to own the libs?

     @eal sumimasen, my keebordo does not have a alt gr key
     (serious answer: keyboards here tend to follow ANSI layout which does not have an alt gr key)

     @Zergling_man sorry, retyping the reply because i'm quite eepy
     
     eh i find that exonyms and endonyms are the purview of governments and media institutions; related somewhat to their efforts to control/standardize language, not really of much interest to me, as long as someone can understand what you mean then that's alright
     
     for example one day Germany in a justified anti-French crusade decides to mandate everyone call Cologne "Köln". everyone will still recognize it if you use Cologne but then there might be connotations of Germophobia or even worse, you will be recognized as a Francophile! but depending on the pervading sentiment and time eventually either things will stick or they won't, that's how language over time develops after all

     @Zergling_man Kiev/Kyiv is an interesting case though because we do have a food item named after it: Chicken Kiev
     
     Back in the 70s/80s, when Mainland China became relevant and displaced Taiwan on the global stage, media and governments switched from using Peking to Beijing, and now everyone calls it Beijing. but if you order roasted duck with condiments, restaurants will still call it Peking Duck to this day
     
     it'll be interesting to see decades from now tbh if i order rolled chicken cutlet with herbed butter whether it'll be Chicken Kiev or Chicken Kyiv tbh

     @cell @Zergling_man (although in the case of peking duck I think a lot of that is just a combo of "why fix what ain't broken?" re: romanization systems and also to some extent anticommunism)
