What, that loser?Varuslande- after the first Roman Governor.![]()
Hungarian uses the term "sváb" (Swabian) for the old German community in Hungary.Interesting. The Germans who settled in medieval Serbia and Bosnia - as well as the larger community settled in Hungary - were also most often called Saxons (Sasi), even though many of them apparently came from the Rhineland and other regions. I wonder how Saxons became the "face" of Germany in so many different environments.
What could you think of ? In English it is called Germany, obviously because of Germanians, Allemania or similiar it is called in many other countries, too. In German language Germany is called Deutschland. There are often references to the Roman definition Teutonia, and Germans called Teutons. Terra teutonorum would mean "Land of the Teutons" in Latin , if im correct.
if this would be anywhere near a possibility, fluent speakers will correct, but how about Land of the People, or Volksland? Or is that too contrived?
If Germany was called Dutchland in English, what would be the English adjective used for something from the Netherlands? The Netherlandic language?
