Ethnic Groups in the Republic of Turkey
Peter Alford Andrews
Ludwig Reichert
Where accepted English spellings for the names of ethnic groups already exist, these have been used, especially if the group concerned is of other than Turkish origin: thus Chechen, Ingush, or Hemshinli are used rather than their equivalent Turkish spellings, though the latter are listed in the catalogue (section B). Similarly English spellings are used for religious denominations, as in Shii or Chaldean. Otherwise all Turkish words, including the names of ethnic groups, personal names, and place names, have been given in the standard Turkish alphabet and spelling. Exceptions have been made, however, for Istanbul and Izmir, whose pronunciation is so well known to the Western reader that the dot on the initial I seems superfluous. Turkic words are treated similarly. ..... |
