European Gamer Poll

[Gez]

Dark Dragon: Yeah, I forgot the Kerguelen, and also la Terre Adélie (France's slice of Antarctica), and also... I've searched for an on-line atlas, but didn't found anything usable (and google seems to go down every three seconds... Don't know if the problem is with my Google's servers, or with my connection (who's got no problems with other sites)).

 

[Ravellion]

You forgot the country Limburg on the list (its an occupied province of Holland) and you did exclude the posibility that you are from 2 countries.

Also Holland is NOT the same as the Netherlands.

LOL! Edena, Laiyna made a joke about the NL. Though Limburg is a bit weird , it is most certainly part of the Netherlands, just as much as Michigan is a part of the US

The Celtic Names (Celtic is the official language of Eire, I think) ?

Nope. Irish (aka Gaelic, aka Gaeilge). Really, though, English is the official language, as only a small percentage of the population speak more than a few words of Irish.

And seeing as that small percentage doesn't include me, I can't help with translating the names... :-(

Irlanda del nord, une point

Hi Edena mate!

Anyone know the Russian names? The Polish Names? The Celtic Names (Celtic is the official language of Eire, I think) ?

I think you mean Gaelic.

Does this remind anyone else of the Eurovision Song Contest!?

Here's the Russian names.

I've transliterated the names from Cyrillic (i.e. I wrote them in Latin Letters). I did the best I could without checking each word carefully--some people may disagree with a few.

Note: The Russian 'g' is pronounced as in 'Green' always.

The "i" is always pronounced like 'ee' in 'feet' and always as a separate syllable (no dipthongs in Russian).

The 'U" is pronounced like 'oo' in 'boot'.

Germany, one point! L'allemagne, un point!

It is really interesting to see the non-german and non-english names for the european countries.

Re: Stealing your post here Psionicist

First, I don't think that all the parts in the world that are part of European countries should be in this poll, so Edana, don't worry about not including them. I doubt if people from de benedenwindse eilanden call themself Europeans.

And I have to correct The Forsaken One, he left out a lot of """'s, "-"'s and also other minor spelling errors.

Now all we have to do is to find a Frisian poster.

Denmark (The Faeroe Islands) - Faeröer
The United Kingdom (England) - Engeland - Groot-Brittannië
Belgium - België
Lichtenstein - Liechtenstein
Italy - Italië
The Czech Republic - Tsjechië
Slovenia - Slovenië
Croatia - Kroatië
Bosnia/Herzegovina - Bosnië-Herzegovina
Serbia - Servië
Macedonia - Macedonië
Albania - Albanië
Belarus - Wit-Rusland
Azerbaijian - Azerbeidzjan
Ukraine - Oekraïne
Moldova - Moldavië
Georgia - Georgië
Armenia - Armenië
Italy (Sardinia) - Sardinië
Italy (Sicily) - Sicilië
Portugal (The Azore Islands) - Azoren

>>Now all we have to do is to find a Frisian poster.<<

If my father'd be computer litterate and if he'd be here, he'd probably post something like:

- It fryske gea (Frisia)
- Onbelangeryk (Rest of the world)
