Daily reminder that if your country uses the English name for it in Japanese, your country is irrelevant

Daily reminder that if your country uses the English name for it in Japanese, your country is irrelevant.

e.g. Mexico is called "Mekishiko" instead of "Mehiko"

>In Korea and China America is 美国 or beautiful country
According to my dad, it's because the original name in Mandarin was something like "a mei li guo", but was eventually shortened to "mei guo" for convenience's sake.

How do you say America in japanese?

We call you Japon instead of Nihon.

is this from english or greek?

アメリシャルト国

ナイジェリア

Nobody says beikoku

t. davido-kun

it used to be 米 in chinese too, changed to 美 because the other transliteration became more dominant. North Korea and Japan uses 米, south Korea and China uses 美. Viet call America hoa ky (花旗) because it was the colloquial name for the us in southern China. the character was chosen for the pronounication, not for its definition.

???

Osutria i guess?

is americanized japan called japango?

Australia is called Goushuu apparently.

What does it mean?

Abbre. of Australia with the kanji 豪(gou) + the character for continent 州(shu)

Thing is, there is a gradual trend in both Japanese and Korean for places and countries that previously had Kanji names to be called by either their English or native name.

France used to be 佛蘭西 in Korean, Europe used to be 歐儸巴 or something, I forget the exact characters

The same is happening/has happened in Japanese too AFAIK, the most famous example is 北京 which is now Pekin in Japanese. I think there are some countries like Thailand and Vietnam that used to be referred to using Chinese character names but are now katakana-ized

Kek smooth

I'm at least content that you don't use Gurujia anymore.

But Mexico is the universal name, you just use pronunciations instead of spelling to translate the name.
