Hello,

I have a question which has been bugging me. How come country names in Europe are different depending which country you are in? This is especially strange when the country has the same alphabet as another. Town/City names seem to be the same no matter the language, but for example in English you would say Spain... yet the Spanish people call theiry country Espana.

Why are country names not universal?
Because they speak different languages in Europeland

You know this always crossed my mind! I agree with you country name should be universal and in one common word no matter the language. It's not only Europe though; there are other Arab countries as well as countries in the East.

Arabic: Urdrun.
English: Jordan.

Arabic: Al Hind.
English: India.

Arabic: Surya.
English: Syria.

Arabic: Ingaltra.
English: England.

Sometimes you can tell from the tone of it, but still I think it should be common regardless of the language.

Scotland in italian is "Scozia" and his population is called "Scozzesi"


Am I totally blind this time? When I'm dreaming the dreams that I fear, some call it nightmare and some call it life, what is the sense of existing in here?
And I think of the sadness when I'm dreaming of leaving the pain, I don't get all that madness, and it drives me insane
