I cannot name any of the Russian states.  My apologies on the matter.  The same, for all of the other countries of Europe.  I simply do not know the name of your states/provinces/territories.  And if I named them all, the poll would have had over a thousand possible answers ... I think the moderators would have taken a look at the 1,000+ options available, and not have been very happy at all.  I appreciate that some countries have areas that speak languages other than the main language of the country per se.  For example, Spain has those who speak Basque.  France has Normandy, and those who speak Normandian (is that right?)  Germany has several different variants of German spoken, from one part of the country to another.  I welcome any language and the names you supply.  Tell me what the names of countries are in all these languages.  I still hope someone can translate the Gaelic names.  Incidentally, what is the United States of America called, in all these languages?  What is the name of my country, on your atlases?  - - -  I wish to say that, I appreciate our American culture and I appreciate my native language of English.  I hope all of you in Europe and the British Isles, are proud of your cultures and languages.  Your cultures and languages are most certainly worth being proud of.  Anyone who tells you your language and/or culture is somehow inferior to theirs, is a bigot and an idiot.    That is my opinion.    The opinion of an American, for what it's worth.  I would say the exact same thing if this were Nutkinland, and I was posting in the Fighting Words Forum there (I do not post in Fighting Words in Nutkinland for the very good reason that that particular forum scares me quite badly.)</blockquote>
