Btw, when my oldest began his six years at a school in DC, at aged 9, none of his classmates knew that the name America derived from a Florentine explorer who never came near North America! 😅

The Welsh language (Cymraeg) name for Wales is Cymru. This means "Land of Compatriots. The Romans called the country Cambria, the Land of the Cambrensis (a tribe). In Welsh, England is called Lloegr, which means "neighbour", and the English are Y Sais (the Saxons).

11.15 Oh I should have just been patient and let the video play......you think!!!!!

You never heard of Rule Brittania...I really need to speak to your history teacher from your school days!! 😂

Now I have a question: - so many people from the US (even the customs officials!) sneer "What's so 'great' about Britain?" & I've always thought they were just pissing about.  But, seriously, do the people of the USA actually think that the "Great" in "Great Britain" means ...well.. great, fabulous, wonderful....?  Bloody 'ell!!

Fable is the video game set in Albion, possibly because the lead designer, Peter Molyneux is British himself.

You need to listen to the song rule Britania

Rob Words is the man !

a few days ago tyler watched a video about england invading other countries; at the very beginning of which was the list of invasions of france.
it seems tyler has completely forgotten that he watched it.

I think at the end of this video Rob goes on to say that the word used to mean slaves or foreigner also means "the people who speak a different language". It is used in that context all over Europe as shown by the examples in the video. For example the Walloons in Belgium. I love RobWords videos. been a subscriber for a long time.

The Great in Great Britain, when referring to the landmass, references the largest island in the group, as opposed to Great Britain in the long name, which refers to the political agglomeration of England, Wales and Scotland, including all their respective islands.

It was very interesting - Maybe you should start to link the videos you are watching in the information.

About the Angles and Saxons: There are regions in England even today named after them: East Anglia and Middle Anglia after the Angles, and Wessex, Sussex and Essex, those mean West Saxon, South Saxon, and East Saxon, respectively.

Don’t bother commenting for Tyler.  He has never liked or responded to a single comment since he started his channel.

Tyler is just your average American who doesn't no a great deal about his own country never mind any other countries. He just lives a very insular life in his American bubble

Tyler " I should just let the video play"  If only!

RobWords is an amazing channel :) Why are you not linking to the original videos in your video descriptions? Just curious.

Most Americans don't know much outside of America.  But this guy is willing to learn good on him .

Ing was an old norse god too. Makes you wonder if there was a connection, Ings land maybe?

I am a Scotsman born and bred living in England and I found this very interesting and educational.  thanks for this Tyler.  Your genuine interest in learning about our culture and history is refreshing
