Wa^nsansanu has no contact with any humans other than English-speaking
descendents of American colonists, so country names would just be taken
from the English, thus
ami^dika =3D America [amirika]
i^nglan =3D England [iNglan]
a'i`dilan =3D Ireland [ajrilan]
tyapa'n =3D Japan [tSjapan]
ispa'n =3D Spain [ispan]
pidya^nsa =3D France [firjansa]
etc.,
Wasagga' wami^dikayasa =3D English (language America-adj.)
OR Wasagga' sukkyu^maniq =3D English (language human-pl-gen)
Wasagga' watyapa'nya`sa =3D Japanese (language Japan-gen)
etc.
