Länder, in denen die Orangenfrucht Portugal heißt.

In Egypt, it’s called ‚borto’an‘ and not Portugal!

In Romania we call it “portocală” which is a derivative of the word “portocaliu” that translates to “orange” but it has no connection to Portugal.

One more proof that Portugal is Balkans

Heard the city of Porto used to be called Burtuqal during the Arab-North African period of Iberia.

Never thought about it too much myself; arabic countries call it „Burtuqal“, while we call Portugal „Burtugal“ with the g sounding like a spanish „g“ or a french „r“.

Orange fruit? Like peaches or mandarines?

Isn’t orange Naranji in Persian?

Did all of these countries get it from Portugal? We have tons of it cultivated here in Pakistan.

In arabic it is called „portoqaal“ 🙂

This is so lazy, you assume the Arabic between the entire Middle East is the same 😂 when the dialects especially for everyday items are very different

The Middle East and North Africa.

And Tangerine comes from Moroccan city Tangier.

which orange fruit are we talking about?

I wonder if people in those countries who aren’t fans of the current US administration are prone to say ‚Portugal-man bad.‘

I never caught that one holy shit. I know our language is 7 languages in a trench coat but damn.

What…

In Somali its “Liin” not derived from Portugal

In Turkey we call Portugal „Portekiz“ and orange „portakal“

In Greece that’s also the name of the colour „Πορτοκαλί“, which is pronounced different than the fruit „Πορτοκάλι“. I wonder what came first, the fruit, the colour or the country

which orange fruit? Peaches, apricots, papaya, persimmons, kumquats all are orange in color.
