[r.efu:Gjo]?
When I was a kid, I assumed that it must be spelled <Refurio>, until I
saw it on a map.

For me, it was something like [r#ijfjr#-ijow] (where [r#] is the
"bunched r").

How is it pronounced by *Hispanics*?

If by "Hispanics" you mean "native or near-native speakers of Spanish", I guess it would depend on the individual, and on his or her target audience.

What is a phonetic rendering of Türkiye - [tyrki:j@]?
I should leave that to the experts.

If they take too long to respond, try
