Interesting article… the name for Germans (Niemiecki) reminds me of the Romanian word “Nemți” with the same meaning, they must be cognates. Polish is a really fascinating language.
Because it has the same root. In Bulgaria we also call them Немци, pronounced the same way as in Romanian. Ням (nyam), means mute, plural is неми(nemi), Nemți sounds more like people from a land where people are mute (speak gibberish )
