Why do we give countries different names in our own languages? Like Norway instead of Norge.
we?
it depends on how the name came, like from translation from another language, or exonym or common ancestry but different culture etc
depends
because different languages have different sounds and there was no written standard for most lanuages until recently, you dumb fucking weeb

The countries we call are based on English or their languages. But there are some exceptions;
>England: Igirisu
>Germany: Doitsu
>The Netherlands: Oranda
>Turkey: Toruko
>>58803486
shut up, Noruega
>>58803806
>Oranda
That comes from Portuguese I guess.
>>58804194
In really, Toruko and Igirisu too.
>>58803486
Mikumo > all
Yeah I have sort of always thought about that too. Like why is it Germany and not Germanland like it literally means in german
>>58803806
>Turkey: Toruko
>"Roach" in Finnish: torakka
Hmm...
>>58804698
White pig go home. Never call them roach(es).
>>58803806
But we call some cities in their local languages like Firenze, Milano or Venezia or something especially Italian
Svitjod (today Sverige), in German Schweden, Anglo-Saxon: Sweden
Norge: Norvegen -> Norway
Some English names are based on old names
i guess to make it easier to pronounce for people,
Britain is Britania here because it sounds more natural
"Corn" in Turkish: mısır
"Egypt" in Turkish: Mısır
Actually I have no idea why we call Egypt as corn
>>58803806

>>58805181

>>58803486
>Norge
It is called Noreg in real norwegian.
I have always wondered this but honestly it has to do with history. How the hell would you get Finland out of Suomi except if you take into account that Sweden has a habit of chanching history to make them look cool. Fucking jews of scandinavia.
