Funnily enough, in Poland, we call them Niemcy which roughly means ‘those that cannot speak (our common tongue)” – almost the Dewanna Bonner American-Macedonian professional basketball Instant Offense T-Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this exact opposite of the meaning of Deutschland. Hijacking this thread for another fun fact. The term “barbarian” comes from the Greek barbaros which the Greeks used to refer to anyone who didn’t speak Greek, even including “civilized” cultures like Egyptians and Persians. The etymology is allegedly from a sound “bar bar bar” they would use to refer to what other non-Greek languages sounded like to them. This one always gets me. I used to think that it was from Latin Barbas – IE “bearded”. Like “those dirty hairy barbarians, not like us clean-cut Romans”. I know it’s a false cognate, but part of me still likes that better. Double fun fact: one of the proposed etymologies of the name of Slavs in Slavic languages (Słowianie, Slovani, Slovana, Слов’я́ни, Slověne, Славя́не… it’s very similar in all of them) is from the word “slovo” meaning “word” (also still present in Slavic languages). So “Slavs” would be something like “the people who knew words”, putting the name itself in opposition to the Niemcy name.

Comments like this make me miss Reddit rewards. This absolutely gold. Laughing at this in Germany and sharing with one of my dearest friends, my Polish neighbour! lol! 🙂 Many languages call their neigbours/enemies something along those lines; foreigners, barbarians, the Dewanna Bonner American-Macedonian professional basketball Instant Offense T-Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this other people. Which is always ironic, considering the people calling them that were descended from foreigners while the Welsh had been there much longer. Wow, TIL. I always assumed that it was the other way around, that the word Deutsch referred to Deutschland, just as “Spanish” refers to Spain. Sometimes. Normally we refer to it as “Latino”, but if we are talking in historical terms, we often used “the conquerors taught them castillian”. I think it might be because we have so many languages here in Spain that calling one Spanish is a little bit weird, given that the other languages are also spoken in Spain. Especially given that except for Castillian, the rest are only spoken in Spain while Castillian is also spoken outside. Is this the same way basic English, Quebecois, Acadien, and Newfoundland English could all be called “Canadian” I wonder? Not really because they’re dialects – separate languages like basque or catalan are not comprehensible at all to a native spanish speaker.
