I would like to know what the name of my country, England, is in other languages.
And tell me your country and the name of your country in your own language. Even if it's just an old word for it, like Albion is an old word for England, and I really like the word Erin, the poetic name for Ireland.

I love Louisiana!! I love the swamps and the parties and the cajun people. I also really love the food and can't wait to visit again.

In my language (Portuguese), England is Inglaterra, and my country is Brasil, with an S.
As for Ireland, we use Irlanda, or Eire (which may state for Erin, I guess).
