Why do we call it Germany instead of Dutchland?
Why do we call it Germany instead of Dutchland?
Because the Romans called it Germany
I know in older times the word Dutch referred to Germans of all varieties, but I don't remember how that association was lost
Because English has been cucked by Latin and French ever since the Norman invasion.
just about every european language calls it by the name of whatever barbarian tribe of its people they came into contact with the most
and yes, English follows the name given the region by rome
Only scandies and the dutch get our name right, but Germany is at least better than calling it after only one tribe
Why is it Alemania in Spanish?
there was a german tribe known as the alemanni
Then why don't the french call them Franks?
Don't you dare
because they're the franks
in Pennsylvania we call germans dutch :DDD
>americans are too dumb to understand basic geography and demography

Because of the based french
actually it's more how the Germans said Deutsch
Deuschland meaning our people land is the lamest dumbest name
I am glad we got to rename them something original
They should be glad
Helfe Germaniums! Ich habe ein arbeit offeren im Deutschland. Are German girls easy to bang for Canadians (white)?

You call Germans Duits which is cognate with Dutch
Because germany sounds better, nigger.

I'm not him, but Germans call themselves Deutsch. We actually just call ourselves Nederlanders.

For the same reason you call us Greece and not Hellas.

We are Hellenes.... We live in Hellas... Our country is officially called the Hellenic Republic....... Rome called as Greece, though.
>but you're greeks
