Ankaras

Ankaras is not a widely established term in geography or nomenclature. It may appear as an informal or nonstandard plural of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. In standard English, the city name is used in the singular; Turkish usage also treats Ankara as a singular proper noun. When Ankaras occurs in text, its meaning is usually inferred from context—whether it refers to multiple places named Ankara, historical references, or a fictional construct.

Ankara is located in central Anatolia and serves as Turkey's capital and administrative center. It hosts the national parliament, the presidency, ministries, and numerous universities and cultural institutions. The city grew rapidly in the 20th century and is a focal point for politics, education, and commerce. Notable sites include Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Ankara Castle, and the modern districts around Kızılay.

In fiction or hypothetical writing, Ankaras may denote fictional towns or regions sharing the Ankara name, or a collection of real places bearing that name in different jurisdictions. In such contexts, the author defines the term's scope and meaning. Outside of special usages, discussions about Ankara refer to the singular city and its province.
