Don't know if Turkey belongs in this list, but Istanbul is "Stambula". 195.157.52.65 (talk) 13:08, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

why? edit

Who, other than their authors, looks at such pages? What's the use of an endless list of examples of the obvious fact that each language adapts foreign words to its own phonology and orthography? Why do we need a list of place-names in Latvian more than a list of Latvian words for spices or engine parts? If you find such lists useful, please tell me how. —Tamfang (talk) 20:52, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
