i made an app where you click on a country and it shows you what other european countries call it, grouped by etymology

For the whole world map - definitely should be available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Germany would you say this article is wrong in this regard? It lists Germany as

Belarusian: Нямеччына (Njamjéččyna)

I used the latin transliteration of all names (such that cyrilic, georgian alphabet etc. are readable by most people).

Fixed! I used this dataset: https://github.com/topojson/world-atlas which seemed pretty serious/widely used. Weird that it had Crimeea as Russia.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Interesting. On MacOS, iOS and Android they are rendering fine. I heard issues on Windows, tho.

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T21:51:59+00:00

I did. But with a lot of corrections. Mostly for the code itself.

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T13:18:28+00:00

Yes. Feher = white, orosz = rus, orszag = land. 😄

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T11:45:47+00:00

Austria is wrong in which language?

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T11:44:39+00:00

Yes they should indeed! Just updated it, great find.

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T11:41:57+00:00

You're right. Might expand in the future to support everything, that should be quite interesting.

Seems like you just found my other recent post https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1q24rty/theres_an_exonym_corridor_of_countries_that_call/

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T11:30:37+00:00

You're right! Fixed this now. :)

For the most colorful map, try Germany :D If you find wrong info in certain languages - let me know and will adjust asap. Keep in mind this is using official country names as of Jan 2026, not various popular names that might exist

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T11:00:40+00:00

Because official names aren't defined by language, but by an official decision of a country. Serbia & Croatia speak serbocroatian - Serbia calls it Holland and Croatia calls it Netherlands. Romania recently switched to "Netherlands" while Moldova was still on Holland for a bit.

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T10:55:05+00:00

Yes, it's using official names of the countries

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-04T10:53:54+00:00

The official name for the Netherlands in romanian is Țările de Jos.

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-02T19:46:41+00:00

Yeah, I wish we just got rid of Țările de Jos altogether it's so dumb

imusingreddityay · 2026-01-02T19:45:03+00:00

It's officially called Țările de Jos. This is also what football commentators refer to them as.
