I find this very interesting.

I've found some meaning of the names :) Nahuel means tiger and Maite means the lady :)

It was not my intention to offend any language.  :oops:  8-[  I'm so sorry!  :oops: Maybe it's due to my english again. Long time ago I was very keen on learning latin , and I'm still interested in it. (By the way did somebody know what "relinque" means  :-? ) I still can't entirely understand Nominatif , Accusatif , Genitif , Datif and so on... there are similar cases in German .  :-k  In our language there are many words from turkish , (our contry was part of the Ottoman empire almost 5 centuries) like "demek" ( "as" or "like") , "ash kolsun" (Well done!) , "sakun" ( something like "No") and "aman" (really don't know wat it means maybe something like "OOOh!") and many others. We use them most of the time in the speaking language...  :bigrinnin:  And there is some simple bulgarian words , not scientific terms somehow similar to the latin. ( I have no idea why :-? ) like "nov ", "nova",(feminin) "novo"(fot "it" )I believe the latin word for "new" was "novum ", "nova" (feminin) and "novo "(for "it") :-?  :-k

Don't worry erenda, I don't think that anyone took any offense or saw any insult in anything that has been said in this thread.  At least I know that I didn't.  ;-)  The way I saw that this thread has developed as being just a friendly comparison of laguages and their origins.

As for your level of ability for writing in the english language....I can understand you well enough as I do all others who post here.  Just keep reading and writing in it, and you skills will improve even more.

I think that all national languages have their traditions and history... But I really would prefer the same language for all and maybe an artificial language like esperanto, very easy to learn and simple.
In our era I think that we should have the necessary understanding to do it, but things are not coming in that way  [-( ...
