Not sure why that should change... AnonMoos (talk) 00:54, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I stumbled on this page. It's well out of my core competency as an editor, but I think the native demonyms would logically fit on this page.

Czechia

Shouldn't Czech Republic being called Czechia too in English? I mean, both names could be written. Italian.scientist.99 (talk) 09:50, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phonetic transcription

Even though it would be a difficult task, adding the IPA transcription at the native names would be helpful. Italian.scientist.99 (talk) 09:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tajikistan

In Tojikistan-Тоҷикистон the Cyrillic form should be transcribed as Tojikiston. Italian.scientist.99 (talk) 10:11, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
