Social Studies: What kind of name is that?
I've wondered why countries aren't pronounced or even named in their native language.
Here are some examples:
English: Japan
Japanese (English characters): Nihon-koku
English: Hungary
Hungarian: Magyarország
English: Egypt
Arabic: Miṣr or Egyptian: Kemet
I know from learning languages there are difficulties in pronunciation but they could make it somewhat similar.
