Actually china borrowed the western alphabets to tell the sounds. Chinese read abcdefg as a, be, ci, de, e, fe, ge. (btw, taiwan has this sound system too, but they use chinese components instead of western alphabets to tell the sounds)
Using the Latin alphabet to indicate the sound of words in your language is called "romanization" and is a widespread practice. For example, the Japanese system romaji (ロマ字) is the well known system used to make the Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji of Japan readable internationally. China has multiple romanization systems with the official system in mainland China being Pinyin (拼音), whilst Taiwan more frequently uses Wales-Giles romanization (I think that's the name, have to check). Taiwan, however, more frequently uses its own alpha-syllabary Bopomofo (ㄅㄉㄆㄊ) locally for representing pronunciation. In Indonesia however, Latin is the official script of Bahasa Indonesia. The script came into use after Dutch then English colonization, being made official together with the official language which was selected for its ease for learning and subsequent ability to unite the islands and ethnic groups under one tongue.
In Chinese, those country names literally are: USA: 美国 (Beautiful Country) Germany: 德国 (Virtue Country) France: 法国 (Legal / Legitimate / Law Country) UK: 英国 (Heroic Country) Italy: 意大利 / 义大利 (Ethic and Loyalty greater than private interest) We intentionally chose words that reflect the countries' original pronunciation while representing good meanings. That's how nice and friendly Chinese people are.

The pronunciation of the Indonesian alphabet comes from the Netherlands, during the colonial era. That's why Indonesian sounds similar to Germany and other European countries. We are an Asian country which is very unique when our language mixes Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese and Arabic.
@@kingastaroth7912 yup Egypt is Mesir And Some Indonesians can even speak Arabic. And Arabic became one with Indonesian because long years ago Arab traders from Yemen came to Indonesia to trade 😊
@@kingastaroth7912 , In my Opinions , We know the 'EGYPT' is from the Arabic Traders ... So, when they introduce us with EGYPT, It's called MISIR & We listen & Spell it by MESIR ... Moreover, Germany, French, & USA's People know 'EGYPT' from the Others country (not Arabic), so They called MISIR as EGYPT ... That's My opinion ... :-) :-D
Indonesian and Chinese ladies were adorable. I love Indonesians and their culture, which differs where in Indonesia some is from, I've only been to Bali, but I know people from a few different parts, so kool.

The Indonesian name for USA is "Amerika Serikat" , for the UK it's "Britania Raya dan Irlandia Utara", "Inggris" is only refers to England, and the correct non offensive term for China is "Tiongkok" or "RRT".
Britania Raya is just for 3 countries (w/o Nothern Ireland), i.e., England🏴, Scotland🏴 and Wales🏴, while UK (Kerajaan Inggris)🇬🇧 is the right one. However, it’s a lil bit long to say Kerajaan Inggris. Imo, she just said Inggris cos afaik, Indonesian ppl rarely call the UK with Kerajaan Inggris, innit. Also we usually call Inggris instead of Kerajaan Inggris:)
Indonesia use Dutch alphabets with Dutch, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Sanskrit loanword, Indonesian is melting pot, and since they are former Dutch colony so yes it was similar with German
Portugal ever occupied one land, neighbour of Indonesia. Its Timor Leste (east Timor). They speak portuguese. They ever joined with Indonesia as province of Indonesia. During 1975 - 1999. Now Timor Leste stand as a free nation. And also in past, Portugal ever came to Indonesia, periode in 1500s. It was long time. Since we as Indonesia, still form in several kingdoms
I remember my 9th grade Indonesian teacher said 90% Indonesian words are absorbed from other languages. Only 10% pure Indonesian words. We influence by dutch, Portuguese, Arab,India, china, japan and English . And i think that’s why our tongue is flexible can mimic the real native languages from each country.

7:42 Why Indonesians called "Egypt" as "Mesir"? Because we adopted from its Arabic name مِصر (Misr). Probably the producer should ask for "Greece" also, because we called it as "Yunani", a derivation of its Arabic name اليونان (Al Yunan)
The reason for Eastern Countries to call Greeks "Yunan" is because they first made contact with the "Ionians" who settled in Asia Minor and had the biggest affect on the middle easterners. While the European name "greece" derives from the Romans, who called the first Greeks the got in contact with "Graeci".
@@detaalciardiansyah6912 no, that was totally different, Persian is clasify as a indo-european language and Arabic as semetic family both are different by race.
The way Indonesians say "Egypt" is similar to the way Egyptians do it, we call it "Masr" (with a rolled r) and in VERY formal occasions "Misr" (again with a rolled r)
Because we got it from Arabic. And actually, formally, China is "Tiongkok" in Indonesian language, similar to "Zhongguo" in Chinese. "Cina" is used in informal situation.
@qp The name itself Historians differed about it, but the most concrete opinion is Ancient Egyptian(Hieroglyphic) derived from "Mijr" or "Mishr" which means "The Fortified" or "The Hidden".
@qp , I think , 'Arabic' that mean here is the 'Middle East' Ethnics ... And, That I know is the Old Hebrew/Israel's Ethnic's come from the 'Middle East' too ...
But，”people republic of China” PLZ!!! Not just “republic of China” !!! That’s different !!! that is a real problem just like “n” word to black friends in USA. I’m Chinese ,so I know that.bless you guys.

My face when I didn't expect my country to come up on the list: 🤡🤡 I'm Egyptian and i broud of that🇪🇬❤ Hmmmm Indonesia's pronunciation is very similar to the Arabic pronunciation in egypt we say: Maser=egypt America=usa Almania=Germany Faranca=France Andonesia=Indonesia Alseen=China This is pronunciation of your country in the Egyptian language It's difficult i know but fun💙☄️
Indonesia has diversity, so to unite them they use common communication including pronunciation, alphabet and grammar So that's why Indonesian language sounds familiar like english or something else FYI : Indonesia has more than hundreds of regional languages, for example javanese language...they have own grammar, pronunciation,accent and the script
USA in Indonesian is actually "Amerika Serikat" we shorten it in text to be A.S. "Serikat" is usually used to express a union of states or people with the same ideals and goals. Or an organisation with the same idea. UN in Indonesia is Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa. There's a prefix Per and suffix -an there in Serikat. Just to straighten things up since I know other people from the continent can feel miffed to be generalized in USA.
Perwakilan Indonesia, di awal salah terus penyebutannya, yg bener itu gini : USA : Amerika Serikat UK : Britania Raya England : Inggris China : Tiongkok/ Republik Rakyat Tiongkok (RRT) Korea : Republik Korea/ Korea Selatan

The way Indonesian pronouncing each alphabeth derived from Dutch, that's why sound similar to German. Before new spelling adopted, we also pronounced J as Y.

Indonesian naming for other country and their origins. 1. CHINA = TIONGKOK, majority of Chinese-Indonesian people are of Hokkien ancestry. Tiongkok means "central country" in Hokkien. 2. SOUTH AFRICA = AFRIKA SELATAN, 'Selatan' is Indonesian for 'south'. 3. CAMBODIA = KAMBOJA, In Cambodia (Kampuchea), the name of their country is taken from Sanskrit means "village". But in Indonesia, we call it 'Kamboja', like kembang/bunga kamboja which means frangipani/plumeria flower. The meaning is different and actually created unintentionally. Maybe this can be an extra compliment for the Cambodian people because as a fellow Southeast Asian brethren, the Indonesians named their country after a flower. 4. NETHERLANDS = BELANDA, Netherlands and Holland are synonymous in Indonesian. The word is a flawed loan from the Portuguese vocabulary: holanda, olanda, wolanda, bolanda, and finally become Belanda. 5. EGYPT = MESIR, In the western world, name "Egypt" is derived from the Ancient Greek "Aígyptos" ("Αἴγυπτος"), via Middle French "Egypte" and Latin "Aegyptus". But Egypt in Indonesian, comes from the Arabic name 'miṣr'.

The french word for “UK” is Royaume Uni, and the word she said was “Angleterre”(England)…which could be very sentitive for some people in the UK……. For Netherland/Holland. as far as I know English/German/French use both, while Korea we mostly say Netherland, and Japan uses Holland, China commonly say Holland..
In Spanish, we'd say Holanda; however, it's also referred to Países Bajos which means "low countries" (Netherlands) but I think this is more historical background on how to refer the country.
Indonesia got colonized by Dutch/ Netherlands for more or less 350 years, before we got colonized by Japan for 3,5 years before we announced our independence. so no wonder some of our pronunciation is similar, if not, the same as German

In "Chinese" the word Egypt comes from the greek pronunciation Αἴγυπτος (Aígyptos) and only pronounce the first two syllables. The Indonesian one comes directly from Arabic مِصر (Misr) .
Aha that's right ,Chinese has aonther way to get countries' names，always form the name‘s ownner themslef As the name of 'Greek' is pronunced as Hee-La or Shee-La in Chinese, which is from the Greek themsleves
Yep, the Chinese transliterations for surviving countries all stretch back over thousands of years to the traders and merchants and diplomats who used the Silk Road. It's why Latin words are still pronounced the Classical Latin way and why Greek terms for the Middle East abound in Chinese.
@@taufikandika7750 It comes from Arabic too :) Greece is called يونان (Yûnân) and Greek is يوناني (Yûnâniy) for males and يونانية (Yûnâniyyah) for females. It's not strange at all given the fact that in its majority Indonesia population is Muslim.
Ohh! I love how the Indonesian name for Egypt is similar to Masr (the Egyptian name for the country)! 😍 Also, Holland refers to just only two Dutch provinces (North and South Holland). The Netherlands/Les Pays-Bas/Nederland refers to the entire country and all twelve the provinces together! 😉 But so exciting, learning things I didn’t know on this channel! 🥰
I think, the MESIR (Indonesia Language for EGYPT) was coming from the ARABIC TRADERS that came to Our Country in the Past ... They introduce EGYPT as MISIR to Us & We've a Little Bit Misheard for Us, & We Spell it as MESIR ... By the way, I am coming from Indonesia ...
@@eline4228 , By the Way , Islam & Christianity (Catholic & Protestant)'re coming from Arabic Ethnics/Middle East Ethnics, so I think the Name of EGYPT're similar between Qur'an & Bible, because these Real Holy Book're coming from Arabic/Middle East Ethnics ... I think like that ... CMIIW ...
Maybe because east Europe close to middle east and middle East also influence Indonesia language, we called yunani for Greeks, and mesir for Egypt comes from middle East trader in the past

Mei guo -> Amerika -> literally beautiful country Ying guo -> UK Fan guo -> France De guo -> German (Deutsch) In fact, Indonesia name is actually shortened in Chinese from Yin du ni xi ya to Yinni.
A lot of the Chinese names of the countries are shortened. USA is properly Mei Li Jian (America) He Zhong (United States) Guo, shortened to Mei Guo. Guo means “country of” so you pretty much hear it in every name of the countries.
That “literally beautiful country” part is a happy coincidence. Guess we could have chosen a different character to transliterate the sound “me” but we went with the one meaning beautiful.

I am an Indonesian, originally from Europe. The first time to colonize the Indonesian nation was the Portuguese, then the Dutch, then the British, but the Dutch were at most 350 years old
And Indonesian is very much influenced by Indian Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese and also English, but very little English, which is big, Dutch and quite Portuguese
And know that there is 1 province in Indonesia called Aceh, the name is an abbreviation of Arabic China Europe Indies (India) in this province, its physical characteristics are a mix of Arab China Europe Indies (India)
Well in Bahasa Indonesia, the formal word to refer the country "China" is "Tiongkok" and it's mandatory since it's written on the law of "Surat Keputusan Presiden No 12 Tahun 2014", so yeah the law is relatively new and yet not a lot of people know this. Btw, "Amerika" is the shortened version of "Amerika Serikat" which is also the formal word to refer USA. And also UK isn't "Inggris", cuz Inggris is England, both UK and England are different, the word UK in Bahasa Indonesia is "Kerajaan Bersatu Britania Raya".

Its funny that the Indonesia pronounciation for "Brasil" is the closest to the brazilian portuguese. In the German pronunciation, it looks like she is speaking the name of the Capital, "Brasília".
Having taken some courses on Bahasa Indonesia back in university I can tell that most if not all countries that didn't already have an established name by the time the Dutch came around and colonized them got their name as loanwords from the Dutch, hence the similarities with German (basically all letters are pronounced almost the same with the exception of the sharp rolled "R" (though that one is also common e.g. in Bavaria) and that they only have the ß for an s sound)
Lemme tell ya bud, just learn informal Indonesian, the stuff we actually use in spoken Indonesian, because formal Indonesian sounds, idk, stiff or unfinished. Use formal Indonesian to explain complex things, but informal for just casual talk, otherwise you'll sound like a robot.
@@halamadruuid2380 nah never finished my courses in it, as i switched my major and have sadly forgotten almost all of it. Sadly there isn't a lot of teaching material on bahasa indonesia and we had to resort to illegal copies of an english textbook from the 80s despite our course being in German. However our professor was very active in the bilateral exchange (a fellow student even got to host and show around a minister of yours during a state visit) and was spending half of the year in indonesia, so he was able to tell us that most of the textbook was only good for the basics but gave us other more modern vocabulary instead. We also had three times per week practical classes with native Indonesians so that we would learn it the right way. The most profound difference i remember is how differently we tell directions and that bahasa indonesia is basically the polar opposite to german as it has no tenses, singular/plural, declinations and so on. So it was really easy to get to a point where we could express ourselves, but reading or understanding it was a lot harder for us. (This was at University Bonn, south east asian studies department)

A bit of correction, the United States in Indonesian is not just "Amerika", it's "Amerika Serikat". "Amerika" is just a more common way to say it, just like how most people simply call it the "US" in English.
Indonesia was colonized by many other countries such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and finally Japan. therefore our language has a lot in common with other languages, also I don't know why we were colonized so much maybe because of the spices.
Fun fact: Indonesia has 800 regional languages, and the Indonesian language itself is similar to Portuguese, English, Netherlands, etc, bc Indonesia was colonized by them in ww2
According to the US State dept, Indonesian is actually a "Level 1" language, which means it's in the "easiest to learn" rank for native English speakers. French is also a level 1. German is Level 2. Chinese is level 4 (the hardest level).
@@veraqwq8551 No, neither Korean nor Japanese is a tonal language, and they're closer to each other grammatically than to Chinese.

Country names in Indonesian has a lot of influence from Dutch, as the country was once called East Dutch Indies. So it's not that surprising it has many similarities with Germans. Except probably Arab countries' names, which comes from Arabic version (such as Egypt / Mesir), since as the most populous muslim country in the world we also have received a lot of influence from Arabic

The Indonesian name for Egypt appears to come from the Arabic name for Egypt (مصر) pronounced as "miSr" (capital s represents a pharyngeal S). This name is believed to come from the Akkadian word miișru meaning "frontier." It appears that most countries that have had close historical ties to the middle east through either religion or trade have taken that name (the Turkish word mısır comes to mind) as opposed to the Greek-based name (Aegyptos) which ultimately comes from the ancient Egyptian name for the modern day Egyptian city of Memphis ('Hwt-Ka-Ptah' ("Mansion of the Spirit of Ptah"))

I wanna explain the Indonesian one here. China: Tiongkok. (Or RRC, Republic Rakyat Cina. But I have never heard people say that in a normal conversation) UK: Britinia Raya. USA: Amerika Serikat ("Serikat" means "Union", basically "United"). Those are the formal Indonesian way. Tho we majority would say China: Cina. UK: Inggris. USA: Amerika. For Cina (China) it is mostly used to say about the race, Chinese-Indonesian. Tho Tinghoa is the Indonesian way, but we mostly would say Chinese. Inggris is actually directed to only England (or the long version "Negeri Inggris" but rarely used). But we also say UK (pronounced like you-keh). For the USA, we just don't like being complicated. Some would also say AS to be more short. Hope that explains it

Some side note: in Chinese, we often name some of the Western powers that we first became aware of in the history in such a format: (one syllable from the country's name) + (guo, meaning 'country' or 'state'). America: 美国 （Mei Guo, literally the 'State of beauty'). Mei represents the second syllable in A-me-rica. We didn't use the first syllable here, because there are too many countries with the initial 'A'. UK (which was represented by England) : 英国 (Ying Guo, literally the 'State of Elites/Heroes'). Ying represents the first syllable in Eng-land. Germany: 德国 (De Guo, literally the 'State of Ethics'). De represents Deutschland. France: 法国 (Fa Guo, literally the 'State of Law/Legitimacy'). Fa represents F-rance. The F is not a complete syllable but I'm Chinese we made it one.
The transliterations aren't Chinese. They come from the Eight Nation Alliance crushing China and the victors naming themselves, giving themselves very flattering names. Also, none of those are the full names of the countries. Germany is 德意志, America is 美利坚合众国, France is 法兰西/法兰斯, England is 英格兰.

7:42 Why Indonesians called "Egypt" as "Mesir"? Because we adopted from its Arabic name مِصر (Misr). Probably the producer should ask for "Greece" also, because we called it as "Yunani", a derivation of its Arabic name اليونان (Al Yunan)
The reason for Eastern Countries to call Greeks "Yunan" is because they first made contact with the "Ionians" who settled in Asia Minor and had the biggest affect on the middle easterners. While the European name "greece" derives from the Romans, who called the first Greeks the got in contact with "Graeci".

Indonesian naming for other country and their origins.
1. CHINA = TIONGKOK, majority of Chinese-Indonesian people are of Hokkien ancestry. Tiongkok means "central country" in Hokkien.
2. SOUTH AFRICA = AFRIKA SELATAN, 'Selatan' is Indonesian for 'south'.
3. CAMBODIA = KAMBOJA, In Cambodia (Kampuchea), the name of their country is taken from Sanskrit means "village". But in Indonesia, we call it 'Kamboja', like kembang/bunga kamboja which means frangipani/plumeria flower. The meaning is different and actually created unintentionally. Maybe this can be an extra compliment for the Cambodian people because as a fellow Southeast Asian brethren, the Indonesians named their country after a flower.
4. NETHERLANDS = BELANDA, Netherlands and Holland are synonymous in Indonesian. The word is a flawed loan from the Portuguese vocabulary: holanda, olanda, wolanda, bolanda, and finally become Belanda.
5. EGYPT = MESIR, In the western world, name "Egypt" is derived from the Ancient Greek "Aígyptos" ("Αἴγυπτος"), via Middle French "Egypte" and Latin "Aegyptus". But Egypt in Indonesian, comes from the Arabic name 'miṣr'.

Having taken some courses on Bahasa Indonesia back in university I can tell that most if not all countries that didn't already have an established name by the time the Dutch came around and colonized them got their name as loanwords from the Dutch, hence the similarities with German (basically all letters are pronounced almost the same with the exception of the sharp rolled "R" (though that one is also common e.g. in Bavaria) and that they only have the ß for an s sound)
Good, continue your course 🤝🇮🇩❤️
Lemme tell ya bud, just learn informal Indonesian, the stuff we actually use in spoken Indonesian, because formal Indonesian sounds, idk, stiff or unfinished. Use formal Indonesian to explain complex things, but informal for just casual talk, otherwise you'll sound like a robot.
@@halamadruuid2380 nah never finished my courses in it, as i switched my major and have sadly forgotten almost all of it.
Sadly there isn't a lot of teaching material on bahasa indonesia and we had to resort to illegal copies of an english textbook from the 80s despite our course being in German.
However our professor was very active in the bilateral exchange (a fellow student even got to host and show around a minister of yours during a state visit) and was spending half of the year in indonesia, so he was able to tell us that most of the textbook was only good for the basics but gave us other more modern vocabulary instead.
We also had three times per week practical classes with native Indonesians so that we would learn it the right way.
The most profound difference i remember is how differently we tell directions and that bahasa indonesia is basically the polar opposite to german as it has no tenses, singular/plural, declinations and so on. So it was really easy to get to a point where we could express ourselves, but reading or understanding it was a lot harder for us.

A bit of correction, the United States in Indonesian is not just "Amerika", it's "Amerika Serikat".

Also Portugis... when it becomes Portugal ? In other video, she called "cermin" (mirror) as "kaca" (glass). Btw, this is just for fun....
it would've been great to have a Spanish or Portuguese speaker too! kind of similar pronunciation to Indonesian
Bahasa Indonesia memang harus dikenal dunia👏👏👏
Languages should be authentic, languages symbolize culture and tradition, thats why I Love to learn different languages ❣️
Indonesia was colonized by many other countries such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and finally Japan. therefore our language has a lot in common with other languages, also I don't know why we were colonized so much maybe because of the spices.
yeah because of the spices
Fun fact: Indonesia has 800 regional languages, and the Indonesian language itself is similar to Portuguese, English, Netherlands, etc, bc Indonesia was colonized by them in ww2
According to the US State dept, Indonesian is actually a "Level 1" language, which means it's in the "easiest to learn" rank for native English speakers. French is also a level 1. German is Level 2. Chinese is level 4 (the hardest level).
yes it is, it is quite easy since the standard word order is similar to english, but there is no gender, no singular/plural words, latin alphabet etc
maybe it because the difference from different zones, histories… Chinese will be easier to learn for Korean, Japanese and so on.
@@veraqwq8551 No, neither Korean nor Japanese is a tonal language, and they're closer to each other grammatically than to Chinese. Any speaker of a tonal language will have a much easier time with Chinese, meaning some Nigerian languages, Vietnamese, Thai, and some other SEA languages will pick up speaking Chinese way faster.
Among the "Bules" who learns Indonesian, Germanic peoples have the biggest chances to be able to speak like native Indonesian
Thanks FYI 👍👍
Country names in Indonesian has a lot of influence from Dutch, as the country was once called East Dutch Indies. So it's not that surprising it has many similarities with Germans. Except probably Arab countries' names, which comes from Arabic version (such as Egypt / Mesir), since as the most populous muslim country in the world we also have received a lot of influence from Arabic
Yunani (Greece) is also from Arabic, because the Greek themselves call their country Ellada. We also call England with "Inggris" it's from Japanese "Igirisu" which language do you think that change l into r? 😅

As a proud Arab
We call Egypt misir ( مصر ام الدنيا 🙂)
Just like indo
so ithink Indonesian Bahasa is right one and better than the others
The Indonesian name for Egypt appears to come from the Arabic name for Egypt (مصر) pronounced as "miSr" (capital s represents a pharyngeal S). This name is believed to come from the Akkadian word miișru meaning "frontier."
It appears that most countries that have had close historical ties to the middle east through either religion or trade have taken that name (the Turkish word mısır comes to mind) as opposed to the Greek-based name (Aegyptos) which ultimately comes from the ancient Egyptian name for the modern day Egyptian city of Memphis ('Hwt-Ka-Ptah' ("Mansion of the Spirit of Ptah"))
In Indonesia, all words are spoken clearly and very firmly. Just like all Southeast Asian countries.

Indonesia was part of the kingdom of the Netherlands. That is why many words sound similar to European ones, in particular to Dutch words.
Indonesia being part of the Netherlands only for a short period of time. Before that, for hundred of years Indonesia was owned by the VOC. And VOC was not the part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands
@@thanosal-titan please dont sleep at your history class, VOC is Veerenidge Oost Indische Compagnie which is a Dutch organization that held in amsterdam. Before netherlands came in, it was the portuguese and spanish came from the eastern side of indo.
@@freespeaking8710
Do you know Apple or Google?
Are they part of the USA government?
VOC was like Apple or Google today, they were not part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Yes, they were Dutch, but that's it, they had nothing to do with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Just like South Afrika or any other places colonised by the Dutch, all of that were private owned by private Dutch businessman.
@@freespeaking8710
VOC was nothing like East Indies Company (EIC) owned by the British. Do you think why Netherlands was devastated when they were being attacked by the Nazis?
Because they have no money at all, despite had many colonised teritories. Unlike the British with their EIC who had collected so many treasures from India, Malay Peninsula, China and other part of the world, VOC had done nothing for their country.
@@thanosal-titan so what do you mean Indonesia was owned by VOC "before" the netherlands??

I wanna explain the Indonesian one here.
China: Tiongkok. (Or RRC, Republic Rakyat Cina. But I have never heard people say that in a normal conversation)
UK: Britinia Raya.
USA: Amerika Serikat ("Serikat" means "Union", basically "United").
Those are the formal Indonesian way.
Tho we majority would say
China: Cina.
UK: Inggris.
USA: Amerika.
For Cina (China) it is mostly used to say about the race, Chinese-Indonesian. Tho Tinghoa is the Indonesian way, but we mostly would say Chinese.
Inggris is actually directed to only England (or the long version "Negeri Inggris" but rarely used).
But we also say UK (pronounced like you-keh).
For the USA, we just don't like being complicated. Some would also say AS to be more short.
Hope that explains it
Some in the comments noticed it but i'll also say it for more visibility:
- 'United-Kingdom' is 'Royaume-Uni' in French, 'England' is 'Angleterre'.
- 'Netherlands' is 'Pays-Bas' in French, 'Hollande' is the name of the largest region in the Netherlands.
correction for the french:
US = USA or Etats-Unis d'Amérique
UK = Royaume-Uni, Angleterre = England
Korea = Corée du Sud
Indonesia is unique, from east to west there are so many tribes and nations, cultures and languages. That's why I'm proud to be Indonesian

It is from the Arabic language because we call Greece "Al-Younān" (the greece)
Some side note: in Chinese, we often name some of the Western powers that we first became aware of in the history in such a format: (one syllable from the country's name) + (guo, meaning 'country' or 'state').
America: 美国 （Mei Guo, literally the 'State of beauty'). Mei represents the second syllable in A-me-rica. We didn't use the first syllable here, because there are too many countries with the initial 'A'.
UK (which was represented by England) : 英国 (Ying Guo, literally the 'State of Elites/Heroes'). Ying represents the first syllable in Eng-land.
Germany: 德国 (De Guo, literally the 'State of Ethics'). De represents Deutschland.
France: 法国 (Fa Guo, literally the 'State of Law/Legitimacy'). Fa represents F-rance. The F is not a complete syllable but I'm Chinese we made it one.
So Glad & That's Interesting to read your Explanation, Dude ... :-) :-D
The transliterations aren't Chinese. They come from the Eight Nation Alliance crushing China and the victors naming themselves, giving themselves very flattering names. Also, none of those are the full names of the countries.
