UnholyMudcrab 09/11/25 3:30:04 PM #25:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] The name Istanbul in Turkish comes from the Greek phrase stin pli, meaning "in the city", with an i- stuck in the front because the Turkish language doesn't like consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables. Istanbul was pretty much always the colloquial Turkish name for the city, but the official name was Kostantiniyye up until the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. --- http://i.imgur.com/VeNBg.gif http://i.imgur.com/gd5jC8q.gif http://i.imgur.com/PKIy7.gif http://i.imgur.com/3p29JqP.gif <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:986374101] in Did you kn...
