@sophiasmithgaler: Will they change India’s name? It’s always been called Bharat in many Indian languages - but now there’s speculation a formal name change could happen nationally *and* internationally. #india #bharat

I like exonyms a lot and their diversity. Like Deutschland for example has Germany, Allemange, Niemcy, Saksa, Caama, Déguó, Vokietija, Ubudage, etc

Could you make a tik-tok with your list of countries with different exonyms and endonyms?

This is legitimately something I think about regarding various countries on a daily basis. No two situations are the same.

isn't Bharat also an exonym since to a lot of the Indian people don't call it as that?

Hungary & Magyarország. Hunor and Magor were brothers in the legends, yet we have the exonym and endonym differ between them. 🤔

I’ve always thought it’s so odd that as English speakers we use the ‘English’ names for places rather than their endonyms

I've heard (though can't confirm) that all names (or some great number of them) for countries in ASL are direct loans of endonyms

Thanks for mentioning nuances of local politics, reminds us that region is complex and diverse, and we can’t imagine just 1 opinion exists there

always thought exonyms were a bit strange anyway. people's names in particular but countries and cities too.
