The x sound is harsher than an h
Also, you don't put an u at the end of the word
Pa'ayolŋutjukurpagoddadollama'tkj
It is a commonly shared aboriginal language word meaning "hot fucking rock".

Eschtreich is how you'd say Österreich (Austria) in my region.
In his 1492 opus "Gramática castellana" Nebrija laid down the principle that
>assi tenemos de escrivir como pronunciamos i pronunciar como escrivimos
which is why the Spanish language has constantly been kept up to date with spellings that reflect pronunciation instead of degenerating into the mess that is English.
It is in virtue of this principle (the "criterio fonetista") that the RAE updated the spelling of México to Méjico, until you guys chimped out with "muh x" and they backed down with a half-measure (allowing both spellings), but truth be told maintaining these fossile spellings is contrary to what has been the spirit of the language for the past 500 years.
Nederland
Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden
The Netherlands
The Kingdom of the Netherlands
Whatever you say Holland
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti
they are cucks, they should try to reflect the original pronunciation of their country's name considering that the spanish J sound is from the XVII century
>FINLAND FINLAND PERKELE! KEKKONEN Kossu and domestic violence! WINTER AND Russians beaten goddamn it!
Hmmmm
this
>Argentina
Argentina
Which is derived, of course, from Argentum (Ag): Silver, as Argentina was established as a silver extraction colony.
An Endonym is a name someone calls themselves. An Exonym is a word by which other people call them. Every language has Endonyms and Exonyms.
In fact, we ourselves are sometimes known to others in a way we do not know ourselves. The endo-exo dichotomy is a daily struggle for myself in particular. I'm sure you all can relate.
Sverige, from Svear (midland Swedes) and Rike (Kingdom).
Though in B.C. we were just called Svioner which is probably just a roman bastardization.
Brasil
Chile
Païssos Catalans.

This thread reminds me
have you noticed how there are so many different names for "Germany" depending on the language?
English Germany comes from Latin "Germannia" wich applied to a vast territory rather than a nation
Spanish Alemania comes from the Alemanni confederation of tribes, wich appeared in the downfall of the Roman Empire.
What is the name of Germany in your language?
Allemagne
and germans are "allemands"
pretty boring desu
Argenta = silver
anglos should have called Argentina "Silverland" or some shit jaja picture that
this
in normal spanish that X would sound like "sh" but its actually the same sound than the spanish "J" (strong H) since its extremelly outdated
>you are gay
sos un marica
>What is the name of Germany in your language?
Saksa, obviously most likely coming from saxon. Which we used to apparently trade pretty extensively in our prehistory.
Lusitania
Rossia
Italian tier, eh?
>Lusitania
>Country
The Gaul or Germannia weren't countries, just names for big territories of unorganized tribes that often killed each other. Same for Lusitania.
Lol...We call ourselves whatever the fuck we want
>As armas e os barões assinalados,
Que da ocidental praia Lusitana,
Por mares nunca de antes navegados,
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,
Em perigos e guerras esforçados,
Mais do que prometia a força humana,
E entre gente remota edificaram
Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;
I'm fairly sure nobody really even knows where "Suomi" comes from. Some have guessed that it comes from the word "Suo", meaning swamp. So Suomi would mean "swamp-land" or something. But many doubt that.
Another theory is that the name comes from a proto-baltic word "zeme", which means "land".
Side note: I don't think the origin of "finn" / "finns" is that well understood either.
this is the same kind of dumb shit that makes Portuguese people argue about Viriato being "portuguese" when Portugal didnt exist until over 1000 years later
your country was always called portugal, and before that it was called Roman Empire.
No.We identify with the Lusitanian people the same way french identify with the gauls and etc
Go fuck yourself
Mofrika
why not identify with the neolitic farmers
thats so silly, but i guess its better than no national pride at all like Spain
United Mexican States. Why the fuck does nobody ever gets it right? It pisses me off.
>Another theory is that the name comes from a proto-baltic word "zeme", which means "land".
>the name for Finland literally derives from the Slavic 'zemlja'
So you could say that the inhabitants of Karelia have merely returned to their roots?
U-S-M, U-S-M, U-S-M! The Golden Eagle stands for freedom, boys. El dio bless, y'hear?

Costa Rica

god bless anglos for not translating places in America
imagine "Rich Coast"
>The Angels (Los Angeles)
>Mountain (Motaña)
>Snowy (Nevada)
>Blush / Brightred (Colorado)
Albion
Los Angeles would probably have been translated as Angel City, had we translated it.
Türkei
Texas?
Also, the official name is Federal Republic of Brazil (Republica Federativa do Brasil), but nobody really cares for it.
Brazil used to be called Pindorama by the Pre-Columbian natives. Pindorama literally means "land of palm trees".
Btw, the name "Brazil" comes from "Pau-Brasil", a typical tree of Brazil.
Gabberistan
If you ain't a gabber, you're not welcome here.
>United Mexican States
>United States
OMG, I really did not know dat.
Also, Brazil has had it in the a name too: United States of Brazil.
III Rzeczypospolita Polska (Third Polish Republic/Third Republic of Poland (rzeczypospolita = old version of "republika"= republic))
It's pronounced sth like "Tshetsya (Third) Zhechypospolita (Republic) Polska (Poland)"
>Red Stick (Baton Rouge)
>Monks (Des Moines)
>Wooded (Boise)
>Louis City (Louisville)
>Strait (Detroit)
like when I tap my keyboard.
>d (rzeczypospolita = old version of "republika"= republic))
commonwealth you dumb shit
Kostaryka
'Y' ≠ 'j/i'
It's like striked 'i' in IPA
texas comes from a native indian word, just like Utah
both are transcriptions of what the spanish colonizers heard from the natives
WTF no
Rzeczpospolita is direct translation of latin "res publica" (rzecz publiczna>pospolita)
Commonwealth is in English name of IIRP, but it's not exact translation; actually it doesn't have anything to do with real etymology if the word
>Bulgaria
Бългapия
truly awful flag
In Spain we call New York "Nueva York", but i doubt latin america does it
latin america loves slapping an english accent and english words in their speech out of nowhere
Paraguái
it's funny because "Paraguaý" is the name of the river and of the country's capital
le fronce
>go back to Ukraine
where?
what the hell man, did you send him to Hell or some mythological place?
J U G O S L A V I J A
Republic comes from latin res publica. A common thing. Commonwealth.
Therefore Commonwealth is a much more accurate translation of Rzeczpospolita than Republic.
Česko or Česká Republika.

How does Paraguay sound in spanish?
Sounds weird in portuguese, like Uruguay.

>I really did not know dat
>Sup Forums in charge of geography
Do you speak guarani there? Ohh, cool. :o
I mean, is it not weird?
For example, France, Germany, Brazil and Argentina sound normal. That "guay" in Uruguay and Paraguay is too ugly.
EEEEEH

me i wish there was Paranaguay so we could be like the baltics. but alas...
>Paranaguay
sounds worse
