Well?

England are the Saxons

I like the blue

Based

>the Alemanni were the most prominent in the modern borders so it should be named after them
the Alemannen only inhabit the southwestern edges and switzerland
they border france which is why the french call us Allemand
The other yellow fags just copied the french name

so why does Welsh call you Yr Almaen but not irish or Scottish?

bc welsh are the worst at english

For years this kind of map has done this bizarre thing where there's a bashkortostan outline but no tatarstan.

> Kermania
lol, what? I am pretty sure we say Germania

what about the baltic?

and the Isle of Mann

Could any German speakers tell me if there is a connection between Osterreich (Eastern Realm/Empire) and the English "Austria"? I don't know where we got it from

we use Germania for the country but tedesco (from theodisk that should be old germanic or something) for people and language

Well Austria means Eastern in Latin yeah?

Good question, I didn't know either, but another guy in this thread said it means "little devil" or something, basically like Niemcy/silent stranger, I guess.

Obviously, the blue area means deutsch/theodisk etc., meaning "belonging to the people"

The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name Marchia Orientalis ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called Marchia austriaca. The shorter Latinized name Austria is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", auster.

wouldn't that be 'orient' or some variant?
but why did it make the transition from "Marchia Orientalis" to "Marchia austriaca"? they don't sound alike

Uhh yeah I guess youre right. I knly really care for germanic ethymology

Arabs took that loan from souther europe

Because Welsh was directly influanced by latin where as Irish and Scots Gallic had less influance.

>Marchia austriaca
There was a mythological dwarf named Austri, his designated direction was the East. And the Eastern part of the Carolingian Empire was called Austrasia. Austar and Ostar are Old High German for East.

why do we have this thread so often?

>And Niemcy means "quiet strangers" or something, because the Slavic people couldn't understand them
Early slavs in general called each other 'slavs'(slovenes) from 'slovo' - 'word', as people who speak the same language, and so everyone else was 'niemcy' - 'mute', but it stuck for Germans specifically for some reason.

In Catalan brothers is "Germans"
What does this mean, Zig Forums?

You're very welcome, my Austrasian, äh, Australian friend!

Wasn't Catalonia "created" by Wifredo/Wilfried who had received that privilege by his Carolingian fief Karl the Bald, a Frank and therefore a Germanic king?

In any case, I think it means you're based. German-Catalonian alliance when?
