Some people believe that Korea was spelled with a K instead of a C and the Philippines were spelled with a Ph instead of a F as part of a Japanese conspiracy to make Japan appear earlier in dictionaries than Korea and the Phillipines

But the weird thing is the people are spelled Filipino but the country is spelled the Phillipines

I do not care if the F or Ph is used but pick one and only one

CKorea
Pfhillippines

@WilhelmIII @shortstories I would more change it to kCorea for better pronauncitation.

But in Czech we have it as Filipíny so we have it with F

The name originally was Gorea but there is a consonant in Korea that is really difficult to tell if it is closer to a G or a K sound

"Korea's official name between 918 and 1394 and still used by Chinese people to refer to the country for centuries thereafter; this itself being a shortening of 高句麗 (“Goguryeo”), an ancient Korean kingdom in the first millennium. Doublet of Goryeo, directly from Korean."
