Ey yo thanks for this, you portrayed us well as a country. 99.9% percent accurate information and impressive pronunciation, except that we are no longer called Swazis, that died with Swaziland, but have retained the Emaswati (collective) name (liSwati for singular). You've arned my like & subscription for this, good work!

I just saw this and I am damn impressed. As a Swazi (now Swati) you get used to all sorts of mispronounced words and incorrect information coming from social media, but this is a goldmine. Some of the stuff I learnt for the first time today. If you ever do a follow-up or some other sort of project regarding my tiny country, I'd be happy to help. Great video!!

First Order Ball I thought the same when I saw “Eswatini” but that confusion was cleared up as soon as he said Swaziland

[@anttibjorklund1869]

+Leif Sundblad Swaziland changing its name to eSwatini was quite a big deal in the news a while back. Also, Barby himself made a big deal about the change when it was announced.

[@jeeveey]

First Order Ball it’s not sad. Most people aren’t taught to memorize all 206 or so countries in school, so that’s why channels like this exist

[@itsmongi.]

Hey. Thanks so much for this video. You don't hear much about Eswatini on the net.😅 I was surprised to learn that the Thompsons Gazelle is our national animal!! That's news to me. I always thought our national animal was the lion🦁. It's the symbol of the King and its on our coat of arms alongside an elephant (a symbol for the queen matriarch)

[@alexfakudze]

as an Eswatini citizen, i commend you guys for your well researched and mostly accurate presentation

[@Jarastlad]

So let me get this right : the people have always called themselves weSwatini and the country "the Kingdom of Eswatini" translated in English, but the rest of the world just called it "Swaziland" out of ease and finaly we corrected that ? Or is it something else. Great video Barbs as usual Keep it up !

[@thembelihlegwebu3128]

Going to many different countries in one day is quite normal where I live. I am from the south of Austria. It only takes me 15 minutes to Italy and then another 20 to go to Slovenia. If you want to take it further you can drive another 90 minutes and you’re in Croatia. Sometimes I have breakfast at home with my family in Austria we then take our bikes cycle to Italy, have lunch there go to Slovenia and visit my grandmother at the border and go back home. 3 countries, 3 different cultures and languages all within a matter of hours.

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

Oh eSwatini you'll always be Swaziland to me.

[@PaperGunner722]

Theory; Eswatini changed their name just so they would get an earlier place in geography now.

[@rateeightx]

eSwatini*

[@gadoneus]

Mr. Flexible What about “Aardvark-land”?

[@ithild7870]

Your theory is wrong.... The reason my king changed it.... Well I quote.... Our country belongs to Swazis.... So we'll call it eswatini which means land of the Swazis...

[@my_tongue_speaks]

don't lie to yourself with this theory

[@chrisparkes]

I was there purely by accident at eSwatini’s National Day when they announced they were changing their name. It felt like a nice moment where they could take back that part of their national identity.

[@jamesharaldburrows3153]

[@Solbady]

In regard to Natan Gamedze, it should be noted that he is probably the most controversial figure in Eswatini, due to the fact that even though he is a prince of said country he decided to move to Israel, convert to Judaism, and he became an Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Rabbi.

You didn't mention this but there are literally more Swazis in South Africa then there are in eSwatini. Their ties to us aren't just due to the Zulus, they are completely dependent on South Africa. The only reason they didn't join the union is basically, like Lesotho, the monarchy.

[@makhimtati5418]
