@Mitch: It's Off Topic because we already have a way of pronouncing the name of that country in English, using English phonemes. Introducing non-English phonemes to satisfy the socio-political aspirations of non-Anglophone parties is just daft.

I wonder how much luck we (in the UK) would have asking the French, for instance, to use "United Kingdom" or "Great Britain" instead of "le Royaume Uni" or "la Grande Bretagne".
