I was told Lloegr was old Welsh for “lost lands” refering to what the angles/saxons took.

In Irish the name for the English language is Béarla (speech). Previously is was Sacs-Béarla (Saxon speech).

In japan it’s taken the Dutch pronunciation for England and it’s been warped into ‘igirisu’

I like to believe the Welsh word for England comes from an insult.

In Spanish, when someone says "influencia anglosajona", when referring to modern influences, it's often derogatory.

Lloegr=England but if we are refering to the English we say Saesneg(adj) or Saeson(n) which sound Saxony to me

Latvian: Anglija (pronounced as un-glee-ya), so, not far from the original, same in Russian: Англия.

Para los hispanoablantes, es por esto que llamamos a los hablantes del inglés “anglosajones”. Si siguiesemos a norma serían angloparlantes, palabra ..

Lloegr is the word for England in Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Translated in « Logres » in the french version of the Knights of the Round table

the Welsh word for English is Seasneg - obviously related to the words in Gaelic/Scots etc

The Scottish word, sasanach (probably spelled wrong) for outsider or “outlander” probably is the same?
