<font face="Courier New">I don't know...it seems like Marc (wisely) tried to transliterate the "native" names of the countries rather than the English ones. So <em>Bharat</em> becomes barat, <em>Deutschland</em> becomes DoyIchlan, and so on. Except for New Zealand...I don't get that one. Perhaps you could Klingonize the native names of Scotand and Ireland. I don't know what they are, but it would be interesting.</font><br><font face="Courier New"><br>-- jhb<br></font><br> <BR><div>> Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 12:34:44 -0400<br>> From: [email protected]<br>> To: [email protected]<br>> Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] Eurotalk - New Words - Countries<br>> <br>> On September 30th, Eurotalk released their first Klingon language software.<br>> It was decided that we should wait 30 days before releasing new words<br>> in bulk form on this list.<br>> <br>> However there have been several of the new words used on various other<br>> places on the internet such as facebook and twitter.<br>> <br>> It just so happens, that Eurotalk started shipping physical CD-ROMs<br>> before the 30th, to allow pre-orders to arrive on release day.<br>> <br>> Some of those CD's arrived on the 29th.
