Apologies, it was mostly from running across different Russian maps with Германия that I took it as such (in Serbian it is Немачка). I stand corrected! Nem/не

Nem/нем literally means "mute" in Serbian, perhaps it's a latter evolution per region either way.
- gibber878 6mo agoIt seems to me that you have entirely discredited yourself. You confidently make claims about the Russian language but don't even know the most basic thing about the point you were making.
- necovek 6mo agoIt seems that I was wrong only partially, and this was totally not the core of my point (they do call the country Germaniya). If making one mistake discredits the entire take, I'd hate to be your conversing partner ever.
- gibber878 6mo agoIt takes tremendous study to arrive at a conclusion and your inability to get _basic_ details correct, that your narrative depends on, betray that you have not done that study. You are not my conversing partner. You are simply someone who emits nonsense onto the internet and people should be aware of you willingness to confabulate reality.
- xxs 6mo ago>"mute" in Serbian Very far from Serbian only. Bulgarian, Russian, and even Balti-Slavic like Latvian is similar enough.
- konart 6mo ago>Nem/нем literally means "mute" in Serbian, Same in Russian нем\немой - mute немота - muteness But yes, we do use Germany for country's name :)
- not_only 6mo agoNeamț (pl. nemți), pronounced something like neamtz/nemtzi is a German person in Romanian too.
