!["History" Mfs when they realize that the Ottomans did not rename Constantinople into Ístanbul: HISTORY Modern names of the city [edit] The modern Turkish name for the city, İstanbul, derives from the Greek phrase eis tin Polin (εiç TǹV TTÓλIV), meaning '(in)to the city'. [19] [23] This name was used in colloquial speech in Turkish alongside Kostantiniyye the more formal adaptation of the original Constantinople, during the period of Ottoman rule, while western languages mostly continued to refer to the city as Constantinople until the early 20th century. In 1928, the Turkish alphabet was changed from Arabic script to Latin script. After that, as part of the Turkification movement, Turkey started to urge other countries to use Turkish names for Turkish cities, instead of other transliterations to Latin script that had been used in Ottoman times and the city came to be known as Istanbul and its variations in most world languages [24][25][26][27] F](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/780/781/6d2.png "Y'all just believe this because the song, amirite? | History Memes")
