Mute? It means mute? I guess whoever called ‘em like that met the people of the north first.
so china does call us by our true name interesting
Latvia and Estonia explain please
Schland.
Strangely enough, while the Russians say in contrast to many other slavs Германия (=Germania), they still call the German people Немецкий (=Nemetskiy), if I’m not mistaken.
Similarly, iirc the Italians while also calling the country Germania, they call a German person tedesco/tedesca.
Nah in somalia we say germal not alemania👍🏽
Alemanha no Brasil
Singapore is not “Deutschland or derivatives”, their constitutional language is Malay, with English the de facto standard. While Mandarin is widely spoken, I wouldn’t say it’s the normative language.
What a weird map – why are the US and Canada the only places that show the minority languages?
Alemania 🇪🇸
Nemačka
Can confirm Cambodia should be Alemania or derivative. We say Allemand after the French.
Yes, it’s Saksa (Sachsen) in Finnish.
Ale Mania you say..?
Hold on… i thought “nemec” was the name for Austria… in Arabic, austria is “namsa” or “nemsa”.
South Africa is completely incorrect to the point of ridiculous.
In Afrikaans it is Duitsland.
English is the most spoken second language in a country of 11 official languages so thats Germany…
In isiZulu it’s a Zulufied version of the English and is eJalimani… This is nothing to do with Alemania.
The same goes for the seSotho, isiXhosa and Siswati words for Germany.
So even including the most spoken languages in the country, this map is not representative of South Africa nor Swaziland nor even Lesotho which for some reason is grey.
I am slightly mad that the Finns call us Saxons.
Yes!
To Finland and Estonia: Why do you hate us?
Tyskland?
Since I speak both Arabic & Hebrew, so I say both words.
Arabic= Almania
Hebrew= Germania
Deutsch comes from diutisc (old high german) which means Part of the People/Tribe.
Deutschland
Deutsche Land
Njemačka
Almanya
Njemačka
We call it Tschland in Germany
The Scandinavian part is just wrong
Edit: I am wrong, but still confused as to how Deutsch and Tysk relate
All of them. I speak German, English, and arabic
China?
Říše only.
Alemanha – Brasil (Brazil)
American here. I think I’m the only one in the country that calls it Deutschland. No idea why, it’s what they call it so it just made since to me.
🇹🇷 Almanya
Deutschland
In Bosnia we say Njemačka like other slavs, but sometimes you can hear Švabia by Swabia region.
Probably not best to do it uniform for most countries, like south africa and india for example as they speak many languages, local, derived from Europeans, they speak english, Afrikaans (dutch) in south africa amongst many others and have languages derived from as far diverse places like Malaysia (yes malaysia) and Portugal, for example but that is not counted for, but for some reason in the USA and Canada’s romance speakers (i’m guessing Quebecers and latino migrants) are accounted for.
Đức
All Arabic speaking countries would for sure call it المانيا which is pronounced Almania.
Njemačka.
Deutschland ! Nicht anders
Sprecht deutsch in Deutschland meine Kerle
Philippines should be red overall I think. They do have a lot of spanish in some of their languages, but I have never heard anything else instead of “Germany” when referring to us.
