"Greece" in various European languages

Bezbojnicul:

  1. I have no idea where the Cherkess/Kabardian word comes from

  2. Chechen is weird. I get one word on Wiktionary, another one on this wikipage and another one on the Chechen Wikiarticle for Greece

  3. While a lot of languages use variations of "Ellada" as a poetic way to reference Greece, only Greece and Norway (surprisingly) use it as the standard name.

[Modnews] I have added a flair to signal if there is a more up to date version of a map in the comment section. See the "Hungary" submission.
