Re: [romconlang] Names of countries and national languages



I think you're being inconsistent in your reference points.  Native
names or English names or ... ?  Official or traditional?

"Farsi" is just Persian for "Persian", and is currently being
deprecated as an English label for the language.  "Castellano" is
likewise Castilian for "Castilian". I don't really think they're
counterexamples.

What is the history of the name "Urdu", which you rejected as a counterexample?
