Comparison of European Languages: COUNTRIES 

Whole Europe: France Greece: Gallia. Guys stuck in a past.

For Turkish : Poland - is also called "Lehistan". Shares the same root with Lengyerórszág and Lenkija, but used mostly in historical contexts (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). It is also the root for Turkish word for 'dialect' "Lehçe", literally 'Polish'. Greece - Yunanistan = Ionia + -stan. From Persian whom knew of Greece mostly by their easternmost state Ionia. Albania - Arnavutluk = Arnavut + -luk = Place of Arvanesti (Aromanians, Latin tribe). n and v changed places to accommodate for foreign spelling.

(pl) 0:20 Chiny 3:52 Stany Zjednoczone

"Velikobritaniya" is translated as "The Great Britain", not "The United Kingdom"

3:10 Japan in Welsh is not Japan, it is Siapan. France is not Ffranc, it is Ffrainc. Also instead of "Almaen" "Ffindir" and "Eidal", we say "Yr Almaen", "Y Ffindir" and "Yr Eidal" ("the Germany", "the Finland" and "the Italy")! Albania is also not Alban, we call Scotland "Yr Alban". We call Albania Albania. Also in English technically the correct name is The Netherlands, not Holland, although the latter is used a lot. Thanks for the video and for including Welsh :)

See what Greece calls every country... That's history. Greeks know everyone's original names

Hahahah you put a Christmas song in the background 😂 But I love this vid :))

Correction: In swedish we both say and write "USA", one can also use "Förenta Staterna" (The united nations) but it's a bit outdated. I've never heard of AFS.

🔴 You have a like and also another subscriber! Moreover, thanks to include also Malta. Keep it up! 👍👏

That reminds me our geography teacher from elementary school, when someone said "Holland" and meant a whole country, she was throwing keys to us. 😀 Holandsko is Holland in Czech, but whole country is Nizozemsko. I guess it's similar with the UK, in some languages there is UK and in some langauges there is Great Britain, which is not the same.

You missed Armenian. It's European from Indo-European family

In Portuguese we say and write Polónia (ó) with an acute accent which makes the "o" sound open. They way it is written with a circumflex accent (^) closes it changing the pronunciation of the word which is not the way we speak. So it is Polónia!

In none of the four official languages Switzerland is called „Helvetia“ but Schweiz, Suisse, Svizzera and Svizra

USA becomes SAD in many countries. ☹️

Only a little precision: the Basque names are wrongly located in the Spanish northwestern region of Galicia (just over Portugal) which has its own language. They should be in the north of Spain, in the border with France and the Atlantic ocean (bay of Biscay). Great video!

This is so good!

I'm glad you included Scottish Gaelic, and it was mostly correct as well. What I find interesting is how the word might be spelled similarly in other languages, but if you only heard the word some of them sound completely different. China: Sìona /SHEE-o-NA/ Germany: A' Ghearmailt /a HYERA-malsht/ Russia: An Ruis /an ROOS/ Poland: A' Phòlainn /a FOH-lin/ Greece: A' Ghrèig /a KHREYK/ Japan: Iapan /YA-pan/ Italy: An Eadailt /an ED-alsht/ USA: there's lots of ways to say this one and even spell it. America (most common): Aimearaga The United States: Na Stàitean Aonaichte The United States of America: Na Stàitean Aonaichte na h-Aimeireaga The USA: NSA France: An Fhraing /an RANG/ Holland (most common): An Òlaind /an AW-landj/ The Netherlands: Na Tìrean Ìsle /na TSCHEER-yen EESH-la/ Egypt: An Eiphit /an EY-fit/ The UK: An Rìoghachd Aonaichte /an REE-hyakhk Ö-nekh-tscha/ Albania: Albàinia /al-PAAN-ya/ Brazil: Braisil /PRA-seel/ Sweden: An t-Suain /an TOO-ayn/ Turkey: An Tuirc /an TOORK/ Switzerland: an Eilbheis /an EL-a-VISH/ Finland: an Fhionnlainn /an EEON-laan/

You gotta love how countries generally agree of a name of certain country(with a few outliners)except for Germany,which have many different names(USA and UK are different case,since it's just translation of their original names in different languages)

Official name for Holland in Czech is Nizozemsko not Holandsko or Nizozemí, these two names are unofficial. Nizozemsko literally means 'the lowland'.

A couple of inaccuracies I could spot: Holland specifically refers only to a region of the Netherlands, and while it's often used to refer to the whole country, which is quite common with many other countries to the point of having become the whole name for the country in many languages (such as Finnish calling Germany "Saksa", which originally only referred to the land of the ancient Saxons), at least in Finnish the name for the whole country of Netherlands does exist: "Alankomaat". Obviously English officially calls the place the Netherlands, as well, not Holland. Somehow I have a feeling the same could be true for a bunch of other countries as well. Another one is the United Kingdom. Funnily you have marked Finnish with the same colour with the other Nordic countries and Germany, etc, despite the Finnish name looking completely different on the map. The name you chose to use in Finnish means, literally, the United Kingdom. Finnish does also have another name for the UK, "Iso-Britannia", literally the Great Britain, which would be the same as the other Nordic countries, Germany, and a few others are using on your map.

Dear author, can you make a song playlist of this video?

Polish: "China" is "Chiny" not "Chinye" (and it is considered a plural word)

In Polish UK is Wielka Brytania or just Anglia, i've never heard that someone says "Zjednoczone Królestwo"

Автор, ты ошибся в русском названии Нидерландов. ( Да , у нас могут сказать "Gollandiya" , но официально эта страна в нашем языке именуется как "Niderlandy" )

I like how the Irish acronym for the word they use for the USA is SAM, it suddenly makes me think of Uncle Sam.

Japan, Brazil and Turkey managed to unite Europe

In icelandic the names of countries are shown in this video on some occasions in nominative case (nefnifall) and on others in genitive case (eignarfall).

I think that when the name in the country is a literal translation in that language of each word compsing it (ie united States or United Kingdom) it should not count as different group/color. Also, we French tend to say les Pays Bas as much as Hollande and all country names have articles so why only put an (incorrect) one for the US? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Венгры выделяются часто) По поводу Польши многие страны договорились, а вот с Германией и Венгрией как то грустно у всех

Never in my whole life have I heard anyone use AFS for USA. If you want to sound old school you could say "Amerikas forenede stater" or just "De forenede stater" but as an abbreviation it would always be USA.

4:54 - The Netherlands in Portuguese is not Holanda, it's Países Baixos. 5:25 - It's not Egito, it's Egipto.

In Iclandick: Germany: Þýskaland not Þýskalandi. Russia: Rússland not Rússlandi. Italy: Ítalía not Ítalíu. Holland: Holland not Hollandi. Albania: Albanía not Albaníu. Finland: Finnland not Finnlandi.

Also Netherlands in English, but I like how Ireland calls USA "Sam", should there be an uncle proceeding that?

Если верить карте, только три страны не вызывают разногласий - Япония, Бразилия, Турция! 😅

I have never seen AFS. The official name in Danish is Amerikas Forenede Stater, but it is always called USA.

3:56 STEREO MADNESS MUSIC

Todos los nombres en español estuvieron correctos. Y me sorprende cómo los griegos buscan los nombres más parecidos a los originales. El idioma griego es impresionante!!!

In Polish, China is Chiny, not Chinye. USA is Stany Zjednoczone, not Stany Zjednoczon.

Why used "Adeste fideles" and "Noël" ? 🤨

Adeste fideles as music for this video? 😆🎄

4:55 its “the Netherlands” in English. Because “Holland” is the name for 2 of our provinces “North-Holland” and “South-Holland”. In France it is les Pays-Bas

Corrections for Irish: An tSín An Rúis An tSeapáin An Fhrainc An Ollainn is properly Holland, i.e. the province. An Ísiltír is the correct translation of The Netherlands. An Éigipt An Tuirc (Turcaí is the bird!) An Eilvéis

in hungary, finland and turkey they will always find an original way to call your country!

In Polish, China is Chiny, not Chinye.

Polónia in European Portuguese.

As for the Polish language: not "Chinye", but Chiny. The name "Italy" for Italy is official. "Italia" is functioning equivalently in colloquial language, although somewhat less frequently, among the better educated, though.

wait, and I thought that in 2019 you didn't write Holland because it was too similar to Poland and you changed it to Netherlands but I don't know because I'm just a Pole who watches Eurovision where instead of Holland is Netherlands

In old Hungarian, Germany = Alemán, teuton. Hungarians never call England the United Kingdom. Officially Great Britain, but colloquially Anglia

5:16 its Netherlands, not holland, holland is a region of Netherlands

0:30 in poland its chiny, not chinye

3:24 this literally explains why hungarian and polish are the hardest languages in europe 😂

It is striking how inconsistently Germany is named. Twice a tribe (Saxons and Allemannen), the foreign term of the Romans (Germania), the attempt to adopt the proper name (Tyskland) and the Slavs try to give the country no name at all (Niemcy, "Land of Foreigners").

Alemania yas that word makes me happy

Belgium speaks Dutch 62 procent, so line a bit lower please and why is other text? Same language as Netherlands.

In Turkish, we usually use the words "yüzmenistan" or "piçistan" for Greece

4:554 This country is not (just) Holland!

I think 'orosz' also came from the name 'Rus'

In portuguese Holanda now we use países baixos = nederland.

The Netherlands in Ukrainian = ''Нідерланди'' (Niderlandy)

4:14 if you call is USA you can call it “VS” in dutch. But “Verenigde Staten” is for “united states of America”

AFS??! We say USA in Sweden as far as I know...

Japan, Brazil and Turkey have the same root with different versions

and Wielka Brytania is more common in Poland

It's funny to see that only us in Albania call our country "Shqipëria". All say our country: Albania, Albanien, Albanija, Albanije, Arnavutluk...

What the heck has "O come, ye faithful" to do with this topic? I am waiting for the day when for the first time I can watch a video without any "background" noise. But this will certainly never happen in my lifetime.

Every country call Netherland or holland. But In Indonesia is "Belanda"

In Latvian The Netherlands - Nīderlande Holland is a region not a country.

І Belarusian language correct to call Niameccyna

4:18 Balkans:😢

It's wrong with china in polish In polish china is Chiny not Chinye

We in the UK definitely dont say holland lol its Netherlands here

Netherlands in Russian - Niderlandy

As a pole i hate that Italy in polish is Włochy (Too similar to Hairs) and rest of europe excluding hungary is similar to italy. I prefer to italy be Italia in polish

Germany is Tedesca in Italian

Ze Słowianami nie będzie łatwo. Ale pomarzyć zawsze można.

In Turkish, the name of Croatia (Hırvat) and Hungary (Macar) is the correct one. Fun fact: Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian are not European language. There are Far East origin languages. For example, the language that most closely resembles Turkish other than Turkic languages is Korean.

Ireland didn't even bother with the name for the usa they just call it SAM

Belorussians says Niamechchyna (Нямеччына), but not Hiermanija. Raseja (Расея), but not Rasija

Lengyelorszag? 😂

‘Albania’ is the Welsh for ‘Albania’, ‘Alban’ is Welsh for ‘Scotland’!

Па-беларуску "Germany", толькі Нямеччына (Niameččyna).

In Poland China is not "Chinye". It's "Chiny"(sorry for mistakes. I'm from Poland)

По русски вроде все правильно,но можно добавить что США ещё просто Америкой называем или просто Штаты,а Голландию и Нидерландами также называем,Великобританию можем просто Британией или Англией называть.

Ok. For Bosnian, Russia should be Rusija.

Venetian: Sina Zermania Zapón/jiapón Stadi unidi/unìi Svesia Svisara

Türkiye in german is türkei not turkei

No. In russian Russia is Rus'. Rossiya is greek word.

Ireland: USA - SAM)

Jarri duzu euskara Galizian XD

Groenlandia no pertenece a Europa es del continente americano

🇧🇷

Chiny that's how we spell china, not chinye 😤 and not inžynier just inżynier

Hungarian here and hungarian language is totally different for some words in this video.

Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki
