Quote: Well, about that names, just see another comparation. Germans are called by most of the peoples "Germans", but they call themselves "Deutsch".I see where you are heading, but your example is wrong. 'German' is the English word, but the Dutch use 'Duits' and Italians use 'tedesco'.
On the other hand, the French use 'Allemand', Spanish use 'alemán', Portugese use 'alemão', and so on.
