American Couple Reacts: British Country Names Explained! In-Depth Look! FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

This was a lot of fun and so much to learn! Why is 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England named after the Angles and not the Saxons? Does 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿"Welsh" really mean slave? We didn't know that! And where was the original 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland? These questions answered in this video and many more! It's so fascinating to learn more in-depth about the origins of the English language and history of the United Kingdom. As we say in this episode, we could do numerous episodes on this topic and ALWAYS learn something new. Learning is awesome! Thank you SO much for watching!

@@JacquelineBarnes-u5y There are several dialects as they are called in the USA. Boston and New York are heavily influenced by their Italian element, that is why their dialect is gruff, and antisocial!

[@thetruthhurts7675]

@@eddhardy1054The Germanic English have been here far longer than any of the invading Celts. Doric and geordie related Proto English languages are around 4,000 to 5,000 tears old Doric was supposedly spoken in Greece. Whist the Celts invaded from Ireland after the Romans left these isles. The Eatern Europenas were here long before the portuguese/Spanish celts that make up all of the smaller people in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Wels the etymological word from which Welsh leaps means catfish in old German/old English. It comes from the older German Wal which is the shortened proto germanic English word for Whale. So the welsh are catfish, or whales in proto English Doric (Aberdeen) or Geordie (Newcastle upon Tyne.)

Yes, I knew about Walnuts, but I am an etymology geek. Did you know that Test, Testify, Attest, Intestate and Testicle are all derived from the same Latin word, Testis, meaning Witness. Seriously, look it up, i'm not talking bollocks.

[@DastorkM]

Test comes from French TESTE , head in English

[@tonycasey3183]

@DastorkM You are correct. @DastorkM I should have checked Etymology Online before posting. Tête, from the Latin, testa (via old French, teste) meaning a cooking a cooking pot. Also used for scientific, metallurgical and alchemic "testing" of substances Testa and Testis are, of course, two different and unrelated Latin nouns.

[@evanhughes7609]

@@DastorkM This is a knotty one; the French 'tête' comes from the Latin 'testa', which means a cooking pot. The formal Roman name for the head was 'caput', but the slang term seems to have spread into the provincial dialects of Latin more readily. Same thing with 'felis' vs 'catus', or 'equus' vs 'caballus'; the first is a traditional 'educated' term, the second a more vernacular usage. So in Modern French, 'cat' is 'chat' and 'horse' is 'cheval'.

[@Mark_Bickerton]

Many people call French a beautiful language (Along with the other romance languages) but to my ears, Welsh above Scots and Irish Gaelic, sounds soft, melodic, comforting almost like a warm blanket that wraps around you. Maybe I'm weird, but its how I feel!

10:20 Since I grew up in southwestern Germany near the Swiss border, I knew about the word "welsch" (in Switzerland it was and is often used for the French speaking part, in the Alemannic dialects spoken in southwestern Germany it referred in former times to the French respectively Burgundian neighbors, and the walnut was also known as "Welschnuss". Allegedly it first referred to the Celtic tribe of the Volcae, originally settling in what is now central Germany, but then migrating to the region around the Rhone valley, where they got romanized. Later it was used first for romanized Celts in general, then for the people in Gaul (including Romans and Celts), then for people speaking Roman languages or general for speakers of a different language living west of the Germanic language speaking tribes.

England being named for the Angles who settled here is taught in history at school. There is a board game called Britannia which will teach you all this in a fun way.

The British language you referred to that has disappeared is possibly Norn, which was spoken in the extreme Northern tip of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland. It's a Norse language similar to modern Scandinavian languages like Norwegian. It was still spoken as late as the early 20th century.

My mother was born in 1923 in Llanelli and didn't speak English until she started school at age 5. She told me that when she was little, onion-sellers from Brittany would come across (riding bicycles and with strings of onions around their necks). The Welsh could communicate with the Bretons, despite their languages not being exactly the same. To me, it sounded like the way a Swede and a Norwegian would communicate.

The oddity that Rob missed out was the fact that Scotland was sometimes referred to as North Britain. As an example the Scots Greys cavalry regiment that took place in a famous cavalry charge at the battle of Waterloo (There's a very famous painting of the event) were also known as the Royal North British Dragoons.

[@tonys1636]

The Hotel that is part of Edinburgh Waverley Station was called the North British Hotel when owned by the Railway Company and later British Transport Hotels, part of British Railways/BR. Privitisation led to all the hotels sold off and standards dropped along with the catering on trains which BTH supplied. The Kippers on the breakfast menu on trains had long gone before BTH did due to passenger complaints about the smell, even more complaints from passengers that loved Kippers.

I will admit that the walnut fact was new to me. Most of the rest covered things I vaguely knew, but couldn't have necessarily told you.

There is a scottish political party which was formed in 2021 called 'Alba'

[@DaveBartlett]

Cornish isn't exactly a 'dead' language, as there are still people who speak it and write in it; however, it hasn't been an effective language of any Cornish community since the end of the 18th century, remaining only as a spoken or written language by a scattering of individuals, some of which passed it on to their descendants. It experienced a revival in the early 1900s, and in 2010 was re-classified (by UNESCO) from 'extinct' to 'critically endangered'. The modern estimate is that a small number of Cornish people (and others) speak Cornish as a 'second language' and a very small minority of families, raise their children to speak Cornish as their first language.

England is actually named Meadowland. When the vikings came to England, they had the habit of naming the land they came to after what they saw in that new land. Like they named America Vinland (Grapeland) since the saw a lot of grapes there. In England they saw lots of meadows. The Norwegian word for meadow is ENG. So the named it England. The land of meadows. Could be Engmark, as mark also means the same as land (Denmark, -the land of the Danes). So England means Meadowland.

The 6 Celtic languages are divided into 2 categories: Brythonic (Britannic, British, from Britain) & Goidelic (Gaelic, from Ireland).

[@alicemilne1444]

Scottish Gaelic is never called just Scottish. In Scotland it is referred to as simply Gaelic or Gàidhlig, as opposed to the Irish name Gaeilge. The reason it is not called just Scottish is because there is Scottish English as well, and the language historically spoken in the very South and the East of Scotland became known as Scots.

There is a small island to the west of the Hebrides called St Kilda. Its etymology is a bit of a mystery because there is no record of any saint with that name.

The explanation that "Wales" comes from a Germanic source meaning foreigner or speaker of a foreign language, originally referring to the Romans or Romance languages but then to speakers of Celtic languages kinda falls down when you know that the Romans themselves called the Celtic tribes in what is now France, Gauls, centuries before the Germanic tribes called the British Celts, "Wealas" (with that w/g exchange). Is it possible that the Germanic peoples adopted the word the Romans used for the Celts? The boundary between the Germanic peoples and the Roman Empire was the River Rhine, along which there would have been cultural exchange. By the way, there are two regions in Europe both called Galicia, named for the Gauls/Celts/Wealas. One is a region in Northern Spain. The other is an area that lies across Southeastern Poland and Western Ukraine.

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

This is why languages are so important. The Frankish (Germanic) language of French is admitting historical knowledge of the Welsh Britons being Gallic (Gauls), which also alludes to the authenticity of all of the Welsh records, it also suggests that Bretons didn't settle Brittany due to running from Saxons but being pushed into Brittany far later by the Franks. The irish and Scots are Gaels, Welsh and Bretons are Gallic. The gallic wars, therefore, is centred around Rome fighting the Gallic people's who'd become Known as Britons (Welsh) and Bretons. So the events of Gaul would have no connections to modern day France even though those events took place there, very few people understand migration enough in antiquity to comprehend this. The Roman period in England and Scotland is another example, these records are not alluding to Scots or Anglo, but to Britons.
