A country should be recognized by the language? What is with Switzerland (german, french, italian)?

Explanation on Kosovo name.

There’s a beleif that sometimes in the past there was a black eagle flying in the valey that slavs called KOS. Suffix OVO presents someones dominance or ownership of something. Example “Kosovo polje” which means “field of Kos” another example would be “John(ovo) biciklo” or Johns bycicle. Kosovo region was traditionally called Kosovo i Metohija and it was split between east and west part where east was called Kosovo and west Metohija. Metohija is an old slavic word that derives from Greek word μετόχια which means land of monasteries. So the right name for the region is KOSOVO I METOHIJA - Land of eagle and monasteries not KOSOVE or KOSOVA ! It’s an albanized slavic word that means nothing and Albanians have no right word for Kos in their language.

Black birds represented the carriers of bad news. In this case they carry the news of defeat against the Ottomans. It is a common theme in serbian poetry

Blackbirds represent the birds that mothers saw in the sky and knew that battle was over. (Birds going away) they represented death and mothers would know if their sons didnt come back in a few days they were probbably dead.

You know what, i officially declare my house as independant

[marthaloven]

When you were giving examples of countries who's official language comes from some other country, I think you should have included Switzerland, instead of just countries who got their official language (or main language in the case of the US) through colonization. Switzerland has 4 official languages, German, French, Italian, and Romansh.

Also, if I'm understanding things correctly, the border between Belgium and the Netherlands is less then 100% clear, but that one may be a misunderstanding on my part.
