My own country , Canada, comes from a native(Amerindians) name meaning "
small village, thorp"
first off, sorry for picking on you in advance. secondly, amerindians is
considered quite politically incorrect, they prefer the term native americans.
third, yes, it comes from the huron-iroquoian word "kanata" meaning small village or
settlement, though i've never heard of it having the meaning of
thorp.
So its not from the Spanish "Aca" here,
"Nada" nothing?
my country.. ECUDOR...
in fact its really simple... its suppose to be the center of te world... and its
on the global line: equator... so equator ------evolved to------> Ecuador...
and thats it.. I think so....
Bulgaria
there was a nation on the the northern back sea coast that was called Bulgar.
well that country got invaded in 680 AD and the people fled south and north. The
north settled on the river volga and was sacked by the mongols.
the souther one fled to the lands that were occupied by slavs ruled by
byzantine. they made a deal with the slav to rule the in exchange for lower
taxes that that bizanitine's were charging.
the flag is 3 stripes going verticly.
1. white(at the top) symbolises the sky...when its not overcast :P
2. green= the rolling pastures taht give food
3. red =the blood shed by ancestors/forefathers for the freedom that we
enjoy
note. flag has no relation to italian one(same colors though)
peace

name behind the America's from Amerigo Vespucci?
Yep! Just
check earlier in th thread.
The powers that have been decided that it would be easier to Latinize Amerigo
than Vespucci. Think about it....it could have been the United States of
Uespuqia (my attempt to Latinize an Italian name.... )
