Hey, where did you get the spelling "Litstenstayn"? I noticed you also edited the spelling into Tagalog Wikipedia. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:17, 28 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @Mar vin kaiser I don't quite remember what spurred or was bothering me to include all these country names and demonyms years ago in that editing session where I filled up some category for Tagalog country names, but I remember I either heard them orally from people or heard or saw it in some sort of old video in class in college libraries in 2nd floor of New Rizal Lib in Admu, cuz around those years I started editing here, I was still around the last years of college. I think I did this one a few months after I left there. I was thinking about either what I heard or would realistically have expected people to say, if a filipinized version of the Spanish term for it seemed unrealistic, especially due to that country's timeline when it was established and when the Philippines would have established formal diplomatic relations. If you don't find enough citations about it, feel free to take them out if you wanna. Some term will pop up in the future anyways for necessity if those countries are relevant enough to write about here. If it's the same to what I put, the entry will come back. I think tagalog wikipedia was probably one of the sort of places where I read some of these tagalized country names, but either someone later removed it, then I tried adding it back from this idea, or I added it after hearing or seeing someone or somewhere use it and thought to document it here. These days I think if it's not documented enough in the first place by its speakers, it's gonna be fleeting enough of a word anyways to show in a dictionary, where people just search up terms we expect them to encounter and wonder about.

 * @Mar vin kaiser Hmmm I think I somewhat remember now the dilemma I was having about this before. I think during that time, I tried to look into the Spanish term and then compared it to how people these days would be expected to say it, cuz I remembered many years back, I did hear someone say this after talking about countries people here normally don't know about. This was the country they laughed about cuz of the odd name they read, so I knew it was definitely from trying to read English and not Spanish, even though they were mistakenly saying it compared to the intended English pronunciation. But yeah, just take it out if the literature about this isn't there yet to necessitate it. Mlgc1998 (talk) 16:40, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
