European Countries in Irish

“Want to know something interesting? The Irish for England is ‘Sasana’, that might not sound particularly notable at first glance, it’s clearly derived from the Saxon part of ‘Anglo-Saxon’, but if you look at almost every language in Europe (and most of the world for that matter) Irish is quite unique since everywhere else, including England itself, names the country after the Angles instead of the Saxons”–Khwarezm
