i have a curious question... when creating languages does
anyone come up with names for places in the real world?  it
has always annoyed me that as an american i would call the
country germany, but the people who live there call it
deutschland... i think my conlang is going to call a place
by whatever name the people who live there call it...
i would appreciate any comments, arguments, accusations...

nothing is impossible...
