Talk:Danilo Türk

message: How is his name pronounced in Slovenian? I think the spelling is German, and then the ü letter must be pronounced [y], but since this sound doesn't exist in Slovenian, how the Slovenes eventually pronounce it? Švitrigaila 11:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I answer to myself: I found an audio link in  (under the title Izjave podpornikov in the right colomn). Different persons say his name. The radio speaker pronounces perfectly [tyrk], while the other contributors say either [tyrk], [tʊrk] or even [tɪrk]. Švitrigaila 12:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd just like to correct Švitrigaila... the letter actually ü does exist in some Slovene dialects like the Prekmurian and Resian dialects.Enlightenerrr (talk) 17:38, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

replies: text:  Does the English surname 'Scott' necessarily suggest that the person in question has Scottish origin...? Guys... having a specific surname does not usually convey much about one's ethnicity. Definitely not so in Danilo Türk's case. For some onomastic candy, the surnames 'Turk/Türk' and 'Rus', both quite common in Slovenia, were given (when surnames first started appearing in the 16th century... I think) to locals who had at least some experience with Turkish and Russian lands, respectively - who did trade there, who fought wars there, etc. It had nothing to do with ethnicity. Therefore I suggest that the reference to 'Turkish ancestry' in the main article be deleted, or else explained that having such a surname tells nothing about one's ethnic afilliation (see above).129.215.76.49 19:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Amongs Slovenes, the surname Türk has nothing to do with Turkey. It is a very common surname, in fact the 12th most common of all surnames. That means thousands of Slovenes carry it. The letter ü exists in some Slovenian dialects, and the word 'turk' means a mushroom. You people should just stop talking about things that you have no clue about. I am a Slovene, and I know what I'm talking about.Enlightenerrr (talk) 17:38, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Information to be added or removed: Information to be added. Dr. Danilo Türk has become the new President of Club de Madrid, the largest forum of former Heads of State and Government. I believe this should be placed exactly below the sentence "In 2016, Türk was an unsuccessful candidate for the post of Secretary-General of the United Nations." and before the section "Early life". My suggested wording is "In 2019, Danilo Türk became the President of Club de Madrid, the largest forum of former Heads of State and Government".
Explanation of issue: Dr. Danilo Türk was elected in the Club de Madrid's General Assembly last October. His term as President began on 1st January 2020. 
References supporting change: The following links are news pieces by the organization Club de Madrid, an outlet in Spain and one in Slovenia informing about the Danilo Türk becoming the new President
