[Tlhingan-hol] Eurotalk - New Words - Countries

[Josh Badgley]

I don't know...it seems like Marc (wisely) tried to transliterate the "native" names of the countries rather than the English ones.  So Bharat becomes barat, Deutschland becomes DoyIchlan, and so on. Except for New Zealand...I don't get that one. Perhaps you could Klingonize the native names of Scotand and Ireland.  I don't know what they are, but it would be interesting.
