Tamchy (Kyrgyz: Тамчы, Tamçı, تامچى; Russian: Тамчы, Tamčy, previously Тамчи, Tamči) is a village in the Issyk-Kul District of the Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan.[1] Its population was 2,412 in 2021.[2]
The name used to be transcribed into English as Tamchi, and some local road signs have it, surprisingly, as Tamczy, which seems to be based on the Polish orthography.
