poland: polska
person: polak (female: polka)
lang/adj: polski (fem adj. polska, netutr. polskie)

ireland:e'ire(e:ri)
person:e'ireannach (e:r@n@x)
lang: gaeilge (gelin') - n' - palatalised n
(AFAIK writing and pronountiation may be different in different dialects =
-
i wrote it in _an mhumhain_ - munster?? dialect)

greece: 'ella'da
person:
  male: 'e'llEnas, 'e'llEn
  female: 'ellEni'da, 'ellEni's
lang, adj: 'ellEniko's

i have used roman equivalents of greek letters E-is eta: historically lon=
g
e, but now pronounced as i (AFAIR)
'- historical breathing, not changes pronountiation in modern greek
a'-stressed a
o'-stressed 0
e'-stressed e

china: chung kuo (?) chung guo

vietnamese lang: tieng viet (with some diacritics...)

isn't the best way of borrowing such names is take one of them (e.g. cont=
ry
name), and make rest in regular way...
