Автор, ты ошибся в русском названии Нидерландов. ( Да , у нас могут сказать "Gollandiya" , но официально эта страна в нашем языке именуется как "Niderlandy" )
Тоже удивило... Это в разговорной речи что б не выговаривать слово Нидерланды, коротко Голландия... Смысл не сильно меняется... Да и звучит приятнее.Это ещё с прошлых веков тянется, когда жителей называли по провинциям(Саксонцы, баварцы, пьемонтцы и т.д). Нидерланды объединяет несколько провинций...
Официально, да. Но в разговорной речи все говорят Голландия. К тому же оно ведь так называлось до недавнего времени. У меня был магнитофон с надписью Made in Holland сзади.
I've seen the name "Helvetia" on Swiss stamps. During the French Revolutionary Wars there were so-called sister republics, or the French vasal states like Helvetic Republic in Switzerland (1798-1803) and Batavian Republic in the Netherlands (1795-1806). The Batavi were an ancient Germanic tribe like the Helveti were an ancient Celtic tribe.
@@lucone2937 upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Ancient_Germania_-_New_York%2C_Harper_and_Brothers_1849.jpg According to the map, Batavia was located cisrhenane bordering the North Sea, not a part of Germania Transrhenana (Germania Magna) but a part of Germania Inferior (Lower Germania).
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.
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!
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.
In Finnish it is quite common to use the word Iso-Britannia (Great Britain) or just Britannia (Britain) instead of Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta (United Kingdom). It is also well-known to use abbreviations like USA instead of "Amerikan Yhdysvallat".
I agree. These two maps are useless. In many languages people use Netherlands/Holland and United Kingdom/Great Britain/England interchangeably in colloquial language, although this is - strictly speaking - not accurate.
the USA example is especially weird since all these are literal translations of "United States" or "United States of America" so everything shhould be the same color.

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!
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.
I have also never heard "AFS" before. It does not exist in modern Swedish - it is "USA" or, sometimes, "Förenta staterna". Maybe "Amerikas förenta stater" can be seen in some very formal context (like when Sweden is called "Konungariket Sverige" ("the Kingdom of Sweden") instead of just "Sverige" ("Sweden")). I have never seen it abbreviated as AFS though - noone would understand that! No, the United States in Swedish is "USA" (most of the time) or "Förenta staterna" (sometimes). I have never seen or heard "AFS" as the country's name in Norwegian or Danish either.
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.
I'm a Dane, and born in 1977. The only times I've ever heard the AFS used, were by the older generations, like teachers would use it instead of USA. AFS' also used in old, mostly black & white, movies and docs about these older times. I believe by the time the 1980s rolled around, USA was the term used by the Danish youth-and not AFS (which is just so dang old-fashioned now).

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").
Germania (Germany ) was the adaptation in latin letters of the term used for a group of different people occupying today Germany , Netherlands , west Poland and Denmark . Just like Gallia for france was a phonetic translation , not a name invented from nothing .
@@locusta4662 The origin of the name Germani is uncertain. Current assumption is that the Romans took it over from the Celts. Gair means neighbor in Irish. It is possible that the Romans first learned about the Germans from the Celts. Gaul / Gallia takes its name from Gallus, the Latin word for rooster. The Celts had a typical hairstyle reminiscent of rooster feathers. Today the rooster is the heraldic animal of France. I wouldn't include western Poland, because the eastern Germans disappeared in the 5th century for unknown reasons. After that, the Slavs settled down to the Elbe. Later, the German state extended to the Baltic States. However, these areas always had a Slavic majority. The Germans got there through targeted settlements and remained a minority. If you count Denmark, you can also count Scandinavia. But the "Vikings" will fight back. From there the Germans settled in Central Europe. The question is rather whether the northern end of Germany is Danish or even all of Germany.
@@Mischnikvideos Counting it was initially given to populations at the east of Rhine and that they spoke a language not akin to Celts , it's very unlikely . On other hand we don't know tribes as Franks or Deutsch called themself 1k years before the year 1000 .
@@locusta4662 The assumption is wrong. Place names like Bingen or Kempten are Celtic. Berlin comes from the Slavic. In addition, there is what archaeologists find: abandoned sites, graves, rubbish. Even without records, one knows fairly exactly when, who, where and how many of a culture settled.
@@Mischnikvideos not to say no again but 1) slavic languages originated in middle age before that we can talk of pre-slavic or paleo slavic languages . Yes , proto slavic is (probably because actually there are not manuals left behind like other languages ) one of the many ancestors of today slavic languages (how their alphabet was born is speaking a lot ) 2) Berlin was a name used in middle age and you are assuming that the population of a nation and in particular the German population (the population of a state situated in the greatest plains in Europe and one of the greatest in the world ) was ethnically the same in the year 1000 and in the year 0 . It's false for 99% of the nations it's even more false for Germany . Even if you took Germany population in 1945 and today you will see the differences , let alone 1000k years
In Catalan! Netherlands it is “Països Baixos”. “Holanda” is a part of the Netherlands, so I all the other languages I suppose that are wrong. It is Netherlands! Not Holland.
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? 🤷🏻♀️
Apparently the names come from legend as far as I’m aware, three sons of Brutus who were given different areas of land. Camber for Wales (Cambria), Alba for Scotland and Llogres for England. Hence the names of Yr Alban for Scotland and Lloegr for England in the British tongue.

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.
Not European... They are not a part of the Indo-European language family. However, they have been spoken in Europe since the beginning, so how are they not European? For example Finnish has never been spoken anywhere but Europe for thousands of years, aside from modern emigrants in places like the North America during the last couple of centuries. You are hopelessly mixing geography and linguistics together. And what Far East? You do realise Europe spans all the way to the Ural Mountains, but Far East is countries like China, Japan, and Koreas. Fun "fact" my foot.
And in English the country is generally called Turkey, and most of us are mature enough not to associate the name with the bird. However, Turkish sensitivities insist that we call the country Türkiye but since we don't have the ü in our alphabet or on our keyboards, let's just stick to Turkiye.
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.
'Italia' means 'Italia' in English (or "Roman Italy") and it just "happens" that it's almost the same place geographically as the country called "Italy" ;) "Niderlandy" means "Low Countries" in English (or "Netherlands") and it just "happened" that only Holland is the only region of it that is whole inside border of the country called "Netherlands" ;)

I wouldn't include western Poland, because the eastern Germans disappeared in the 5th century for unknown reasons. After that, the Slavs settled down to the Elbe. Later, the German state extended to the Baltic States. However, these areas always had a Slavic majority. The Germans got there through targeted settlements and remained a minority.
If you count Denmark, you can also count Scandinavia. But the "Vikings" will fight back. From there the Germans settled in Central Europe. The question is rather whether the northern end of Germany is Danish or even all of Germany.
@@Mischnikvideos Counting it was initially given to populations at the east of Rhine and that they spoke a language not akin to Celts , it's very unlikely . On other hand we don't know tribes as Franks or Deutsch called themself 1k years before the year 1000 .
@@locusta4662 The assumption is wrong. Place names like Bingen or Kempten are Celtic. Berlin comes from the Slavic. In addition, there is what archaeologists find: abandoned sites, graves, rubbish. Even without records, one knows fairly exactly when, who, where and how many of a culture settled.
@@Mischnikvideos not to say no again but 1) slavic languages originated in middle age before that we can talk of pre-slavic or paleo slavic languages . Yes , proto slavic is (probably because actually there are not manuals left behind like other languages ) one of the many ancestors of today slavic languages (how their alphabet was born is speaking a lot ) 2) Berlin was a name used in middle age and you are assuming that the population of a nation and in particular the German population (the population of a state situated in the greatest plains in Europe and one of the greatest in the world ) was ethnically the same in the year 1000 and in the year 0 . It's false for 99% of the nations it's even more false for Germany . Even if you took Germany population in 1945 and today you will see the differences , let alone 1000k years
Netherlands in Russian - Niderlandy
I think 'orosz' also came from the name 'Rus'
У некоторых кочевых народов так же называется, например у монголов и казахов
3:24 this literally explains why hungarian and polish are the hardest languages in europe 😂
Every country call Netherland or holland. But In Indonesia is "Belanda"
in indonesian it is "our lords"
Also Netherlands in English, but I like how Ireland calls USA "Sam", should there be an uncle proceeding that?
Official name for Holland in Russian is Niderlandy (Нидерланды) not Gollandija. This one is unofficial
In Catalan! Netherlands it is “Països Baixos”. “Holanda” is a part of the Netherlands, so I all the other languages I suppose that are wrong. It is Netherlands! Not Holland.
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).
For English speaking people, it’s not Turkey anymore, it’s Türkiye !
4:54 - The Netherlands in Portuguese is not Holanda, it's Países Baixos.
5:25 - It's not Egito, it's Egipto.
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? 🤷🏻♀️
and Wielka Brytania is more common in Poland
The Netherlands in Ukrainian = ''Нідерланди'' (Niderlandy)
‘Albania’ is the Welsh for ‘Albania’, ‘Alban’ is Welsh for ‘Scotland’!
Does the name have something to do with mountains? Like Alps or Alpine?
Apparently the names come from legend as far as I’m aware, three sons of Brutus who were given different areas of land. Camber for Wales (Cambria), Alba for Scotland and Llogres for England. Hence the names of Yr Alban for Scotland and Lloegr for England in the British tongue.
Dear author, can you make a song playlist of this video?
In Polish, China is Chiny, not Chinye.
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
This name comes from the word Wallachia, which is the place where one of the Roman tribes settled.
@@times4937 i know origins of this Word but still better if it be Italia or something similar
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.
It's funny to see that only us in Albania call our country "Shqipëria". All say our country: Albania, Albanien, Albanija, Albanije, Arnavutluk...
І Belarusian language correct to call Niameccyna
4:14 if you call is USA you can call it “VS” in dutch. But “Verenigde Staten” is for “united states of America”
You missed Armenian. It's European from Indo-European family
Czech using correctly Nizozemsko, not Holandsko
Japan, Brazil and Turkey have the same root with different versions

It can be seen that Greece had an influence on Romania. 🙃
Па-беларуску "Germany", толькі Нямеччына (Niameččyna).
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.
Not European... They are not a part of the Indo-European language family. However, they have been spoken in Europe since the beginning, so how are they not European? For example Finnish has never been spoken anywhere but Europe for thousands of years, aside from modern emigrants in places like the North America during the last couple of centuries. You are hopelessly mixing geography and linguistics together. And what Far East? You do realise Europe spans all the way to the Ural Mountains, but Far East is countries like China, Japan, and Koreas. Fun "fact" my foot.
Alemania yas that word makes me happy
AFS??! We say USA in Sweden as far as I know...
This map is not correct, Kosovo is missing 🇽🇰
We in the UK definitely dont say holland lol its Netherlands here
You mean in England. The Uk covers more than just English.
Türkiye in german is türkei not turkei
This video is crap...
Especially "Holland"
It is NETHERLANDS, not Holland!!!
And in English the country is generally called Turkey, and most of us are mature enough not to associate the name with the bird. However, Turkish sensitivities insist that we call the country Türkiye but since we don't have the ü in our alphabet or on our keyboards, let's just stick to Turkiye.
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.
nah no one says italia in Poland
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghasvdghvsjh Napomknąłem coś o edukacji. Zapewne obracamy się w innych środowiskach.
'Italia' means 'Italia' in English (or "Roman Italy") and it just "happens" that it's almost the same place geographically as the country called "Italy" ;)
"Niderlandy" means "Low Countries" in English (or "Netherlands") and it just "happened" that only Holland is the only region of it that is whole inside border of the country called "Netherlands" ;)
"Italia" in Polish used only by poets and snobs. Will you share your new poem with us?😄

In Turkish, we usually use the words "yüzmenistan" or "piçistan" for Greece
"Piçistan" sounds very hmm.... promising in Polish. 😂

Adeste fideles as music for this video? 😆🎄
In Poland China is not "Chinye". It's "Chiny"(sorry for mistakes. I'm from Poland)
Winni się tłumaczą.;)
Ze Słowianami nie będzie łatwo. Ale pomarzyć zawsze można.
Funny how so called independent countries using same words as UK
"Chiny" means China in Polish
in Poland China is Chiny
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.
