I mean how it should be spelled.

ˈtərkē

2019-07-27 00:43:50 UTC  

Well that’s how you say it

2019-07-27 00:43:56 UTC  

Why should it be spelled that way

2019-07-27 00:44:24 UTC  

It’s etymological roots are both English

2019-07-27 00:44:32 UTC  

Idk why you would include so many accents

2019-07-27 00:45:05 UTC  

Turks spell it as Türkiye so it should be spelled as Türkiye

2019-07-27 00:45:45 UTC  

Well Chinese pronounce it as 火鸡
Huǒ jī

2019-07-27 00:45:50 UTC  

So why isn’t that the correct one

2019-07-27 00:46:06 UTC  

Country Names are said differently in different countries

2019-07-27 00:47:17 UTC  

Chinese people do not use the word Mandarin to refer to the Chinese language.

2019-07-27 00:48:51 UTC  

Well they say either 普通话 or just 汉语

2019-07-27 00:49:22 UTC  

Mandarin is actually the Beijing dialect of the overall group of languages spoken in many parts of China. ... In Mainland China, Mandarin is referred to as Putonghua (普通话), literally "the common language".

2019-07-27 00:49:31 UTC  

Ye

2019-07-27 00:50:02 UTC  

Mandarin is a form of the Chinese language. Some call it a dialect. Chinese is an umbrella language term that encompasses multiple dialects/languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, and more. When you look at it closely, there are actually over 200 dialects of Chinese!

2019-07-27 00:51:57 UTC

2019-07-27 00:52:00 UTC  

Mate I’ve spoken Chinese for 5 years

2019-07-27 00:52:30 UTC  

the term Mandarin is something foreigners use

2019-07-27 00:52:44 UTC  

I don't care if you've spoken Chinese for 10 years

2019-07-27 00:53:06 UTC
