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. |
