why isn't it called "Norwayland"
why not "Belgiumland"
why not "Franceland"
why not "Swedenland"
why not "Denmarkland"
why are germanic so inconsistent?
If Ataturk wanted to westernize the ex-Ottoman empire, why didn't he call it Turkland
why did they change their country's name to Czechia instead of Czechland
why?
I like how you put us in the title instead of Germanics in general.
Well denmark comes from "Dans land" or something. King Dan is a mythological Danish king.
because Germany is the most relevant one
more relevant OP = more relevant and popular thread
although it seems that didn't work lol
>Dans land
I tried looking that up and I couldn't find anything. The etymology pages only mention Denmark (Den-mark)
why are germanics* so inconsistent?
Don't worry, Eurabia will fix it. Then it'll be Denmarkistan, Swedistan etc.
>why isn't Germany called "Germanland"
It is in our language.
oh right I forgot about that Deutschland
Germany: from latin Germania
Belgium: from Latin
Denmark: den mark (borderlands)
Norway: no idea
Sweden: no idea
>Eurabia
>stan
Liberals were never wrong when they were saying the more ignorant you are the more racist you are.
Arabs have nothing to do with, nor do we use, the stan suffix.
Only Iranians, Turks and places+regions Turks conquered (except arab regions) use the stan suffix.
>why isn't Germany called "Germanland"
Not our problem.
But then again, give us like five more years and it'll be officially changed to Almanya.
>Turks call Poland Lehistan
> they change it to some kind of Polonia abomination
> they still call polish language Lehce
>Almanya
which comes from French Allemagne anyway.
It's the mark (frontier region, from a germanic word meaning "forest") of the Danes. There were other marks in Charlemagne's empire, for instance the Spanish Mark, whence Aragon, Catalonia and Navarre came.
Which in turn comes from the German phrase 'alle Mann'
Yeah, but iirc you English-speakers used that too. People like Shakespeare used both German and Almain to refer to the people living in this shithole.
which is the same as the English "All man", if I'm not mistaken?
Cause that'd be alpha as fuck
:DD:DD:DDD
don't you think that Almanya is actually a cool name?
Slavs and Celts are just as inconsistent. Hel the Slavs even have two countries that basically have the same name.
We originally called you all Dutch. Which is why we have Pennsylvania Dutch country. It changed when the Dutch fought against the Spaniards. So blame the Spanish.
Maybe because Norway isn't germanic
we do?
Personally I don't care much about it tbqh. I live in the area inhabited by the "original" Alemanni but nobody gives a shit about how the country is called. If anything, the zoomers in the entire country these days refer to the people in the rather derogatory term "Almans" introduced by the Gastarbeiter Turks, with it getting somewhat mainstream.
Yes, Slova- uhm, Slovenia
Because Switzerland, thats why.
in danish it's called tyskland, which is germanland
I want a cute arab twink to fuck me
I appreciate informative posts like this, thanks. French posters are some of the best on the board
We just call it Německo, meaning "The land of dumb people".
I really don't know which universe you live in where a nasal alveolar sounds the same as a voiceless velar plosive. In a syllable with a completely different vowel to boot.
The endings of both names are literally identical (Slo...ia). At least in English.
*endings and beginning
Its not that hard we used to call ourself diets or duits too. Duits diets or deutch just means of the people or smth like that. It is was germans and dutch used to call themselves. But for only germany it stuck around.
What's the origin of the name Lygia for Poland?
Why they call it Thailand instead of Siam or Muang Thai
Yes
>Slovenia's name means the "Land of the Slavs" in Slovene and other South Slavic languages. It is thus a cognate of the words Slavonia, Slovakia and Slavia. The etymology of Slav itself remains uncertain.
>The first written mention of name Slovakia is in 1586 (German: In Liptau, bei der Stadt Sankt Nikolaus in der Slovakia).[20] It derives from the Czech word Slováky; previous German forms were Windischen landen and Windenland (the 15th century).[20] The native name Slovensko (1791) derives from an older name of Slovaks Sloven what may indicate its origin before the 15th century.[20]
I'm pretty sure a fuzzy match over country name strings would return a lot of results with a higher coefficient...
Most probably with Austria and Australia in first place.
Somehow the Arabs now call the Austrians Nimsa, probably borrowed the term from you.
Yeah it means people (as in your own people not slavs and celts).
Nah. In Czech it´s "Slovensko" and "Slovinsko". Literally single letter of difference.
based. but explain
the Thais are massive fags to be honest
Gays.
I thought it meant mutes because the western slavs couldn't remotely understand the german tribes they encountered.
we call it something like Al-Namsa
sweden
sverige
swerighe
svearike
swerike
what is svear, people from svealand
what is rike, it means reich
now shut up
Why didn't mother aborted you when you were a fetus?
"Netherlandic" being Dutch in English also has to do with our history. We (Netherlands and Germany) used to be the same country (HRE), but Netherlands is geographically closer to England and also had more contact with each other due to sea trade and such I think. So they refered to them as "Dutch", a direct cognate of "deutsch". Eventually the Netherlands became their own country, but they remained to be refered to as the Dutch.
Not the other German guy, but it always gives me a headache when I see "slovenčina" and "slovenščina" right next to each other in some language sections.
>in czech
ask russians.
>We have a legend that we are descendants of Lech brother of Rus - the founder of Rus'.
>Poland is called after the guys who had hated forests and they cut them down and terraformed those lands into into big fields (Pola) - they were called Polanie. Big forests on the other had are "Lachy".
There was a polish tribe called Lędzianie from the word "lęda" meaning "field"
WE WUZ SARMATIAN LEVANT N' SHIT
:D:DDD
She tried to drop him but her giant penis caught him
Arab mummies have big penises
shut the fuck up Swedeland
shut the fuck up Turkland
shut the fuck Straightland
he was referring to his mother. His mother was pregnant with me.
Notice the way he typed it
Quite confusing desu.
Nemetorszag or something in Hungarian is talking about us, but al-Namsa talking about Austrians.
They are Słowenia and Słowacja. The land of words - Słowenia. The land of the people of the words - Słowacja.
I think your turkish brother is just angry mother didnt catch him with big penis
Türkiye means Turk's Land in turkish so he did call it Turkland why would he give an english name to Turkish country?
