I wonder why they they didnt like the republic part. Maybe we should change our name Turkia as well I wish that was a thing
>>
That's actually really shocking. I'm never going to be able to stop calling it the Czech Republic.
>>
>>57889491
its still checoslovaquia in our hearts
>>
Do you pronounce it chekia?
>>
call it bohemia
>>
literally who?
>>
>>57889896
yes.
>>
doesnt matter we have always called them Tšekki
>>
better save the Czech Republic flag before it changes :^) Svalbard and Norway are the same too, so it matters.
>>
>>57889491
I still prefer Czech Republic, because in Brazilian Portuguese it means "pussy" which means "vagina" in our language. And many Brazilian businessmen go to Czech Republic to have sex when they have success in business, so we just say to each other "business is good, i'm going to Czech!" which basically means "i'm going to pussy!".

this matter applies only to English language which is like the only one that doesn't officialy use the short version, nobody cares about other languages

>>57889806
>>57889828
>>57890088
the proposal doesn't remove the former name, though. The Czech Republic still continues as an official political name even in English. Czechia is just a geographical name.

>>57889905
Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia is correct.
>>
Do it.
>>
I defend the reunification of Czechia and Slovakia
>>
We already use it
>>
>>57891758
>Slovakia
>muh arbitrary combination of nation states
>>
It always was Tsjekkia
>>
They should czech themselves
>>
>>57892722

>>57891758
60% of population was against dissolution.
>>
czech republic sounds stupid
>>
>>57891094
why don't they rename it to Bohemia?
that is the correct name for the region according to my austim simulators and when I went to ''''czech republic'''' the bohemian coat of arms was everywhere
>>
>>57889491
Call it Bohemia

No one has ever heard of Moravian and Bohemia sounds really cool in English.
>>
>>57891758
Same, but no one cares enough about it to seriously propose it
