Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
Even oooold New York was New Amsterdam.
Why they changed it, I can’t say.
People just liked it better that way!
So take me back to Constantinople!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It’s nobody’s business but the Turks’

you are now! spread the good word
What’s interesting is that the name “Istanbul” is still Greek.
it developed in Turkish 16c. as a corruption of Greek phrase eis tan (ten) polin “in (or to) the city,” which is how the local Greek population referred to it.
NEEEEEERD!
… actually I was rolling into the comments to say the same thing. Right on brother
Someone should talk to TMBG about this.
They very clearly stated it was nobodies business but the Turks
Yeah, but it seemed like they didn’t really understand the reasoning behind it, so perhaps someone more authoritative should be consulted.
Perdóname but until you find a giant, no one is not authoritative than Those Who Might Be
What makes you think I don’t know any giants?
