Apologies, it was mostly from running across different Russian maps with Германия that I took it as such (in Serbian it is Немачка). I stand corrected!
Nem/нем literally means "mute" in Serbian, perhaps it's a latter evolution per region either way.
>Nem/нем literally means "mute" in Serbian,
Same in Russian
нем\немой - mute
немота - muteness
But yes, we do use Germany for country's name :)
>"mute" in Serbian
Very far from Serbian only. Bulgarian, Russian, and even Balti-Slavic like Latvian is similar enough.
It seems to me that you have entirely discredited yourself. You confidently make claims about the Russian language but don't even know the most basic thing about the point you were making.
