Why do westerners call Chernogoriya "MonteNEGRO" if it has nothing to do with niggers?

>black mountain

its crna gora

>Chernogoriya
It's called Mali i Zi

Why would you ask such a thing on a bruneian animated painting board, instead of looking it up on the internet?

crna = black = negro

except it does

Why do they sell these as negro if it has nothing to do with blacks?

I think its mostly because parts of it were under Venetian influence for significant period of time and since the Venetians spoke Italian they just translated it's name into their language
The name stuck and the country became and remained known by that name in the Western world

bosnia

i would rather ask why the hell its name is in spanish
if it was in italian, it'd be Montenero*

It's actually in an italian variant, venetian. It just happens to be the same in spanish. At least that's what wikipedia says.

negro is and old form for nero

We used to call it Schwarzenberg, I don't know why we adopted the Italian form.

We got cucked into dropping the g

holy shit thats cool

its mali i zi here

>south slavs
>nothing to do with niggers

čierna hora

it means black moutain you fucking slav

Fun fact: In portuguese "monte" means "a lot"...


So, Montenegro = A lot of niggers

Czarnogóra, we had used this name before even have started wrting in polish instead of latin

Nice. Thanks.
