What does your nation call...

[Seculartopia]

Money is well spent on Education. Well spent on Social Welfare. Well spent on Science. Well spent on Research.

Not on Over-Military.

THERE'S your wasted money, people should be free to work on their own merits, not be dependent on the government for daily sustienence.

Indeed they should. But you can't expect them to do that in a society where cheats and disadvantages lay at every corner, can you?

People also should be free to post in this thread without having three people going on a train derail.

Well, you started it... but anyway, let's get back on track.

[Greater Americania]

In Greater Americania, you see, a tank is most commonly referred to as a tank.

[Bajireyn]

tyuns or in English tanks

^this

[Jeuna]

坦克, like any proper azn.

Never mind that it is a direct phonological copy of "tank".

[Maraque]

Wasted Money.

[Saurisia]

Wasted Money.

Pff, sissy Humans...

Anyway, some German-speaking Humans, Dinosaurs, and Reptiles also refer to tanks as "Panzers", which is German for "Armor" or "Tank".

Tank in German is Panzerkampfwagen (Armour Fight Vehicle/Wagon), Panzer denotes Armour, as in actual armour.

Ah yes, but I did mention "Armor", so yeah...

[Satirius]

"Kuikamua," (GTranslate)Swahili for "treads."

cba to look up whether it's a plural form of a noun or the third person present active singular

[Brique Island]

We call them "A Spectacular Waste of Money". That is the one main reason we have none.

[Greater Rhodes]

We call them tanks, however they can also be referred to as the 'char' or carro armato in French and Italian, respectively.

[Mount Shavano]

Armor is actually the most common term, tank is a close second.

[Sebastianalandia]

Tanks or Armour are used, the first when dealing with individual vehicles, the latter when refering to the vehicles as a whole ("seventy tanks" vs "a company of armour").

[Bafuria]

English: Tanks
Bafurian: Panzervagn

[Hellestia]

Armored land fighting vehicles are officially known as "Panzers", which is a lessened and more refined version of the classified term short for gepanzerte kampfpanzer.

[Neo Prutenia]

Armored land fighting vehicles are officially known as "Panzers", which is a lessened and more refined version of the classified term short for gepanzerte kampfpanzer.

OOc: As a RL German, I have to ; you have written "armoured battle armour" Yes, makes perfect sense. Listen, if you people want to use German Abbreviations and nomenclature, do your homework. Panzerkampfwagen, shortened into Panzer - Armoured Combat Vehicle. And please, don't write "Panzers", plural and singular are both "Panzer".

They are in German. However, Panzer is a word that was co-opted by the English language a long time ago, and has long since been drafted into English rules of grammar, including pluralization. Panzers is a correct plural in English usage.

OOC: So? I prefer classifying my items as I wish, what are you gonna do about it?

[East germanias]

TANKS in our nation are reffered to as wraiths.

[Neo Prutenia]

OOC: Well look at that. Google said the same. Didn't know that one. But regardless, google also states that it is a german loanword which is used to name/describe german tanks and armoured vehicles. So, why would a English speaking Nation use the english plural when refering to its own tanks? I am well aware that many, maaaany nations are german in nature or inspired by the german Culture and language, so shouldn't they use the German "Panzer" instead of the english?

OOC: Why are you even taking offense into this? Noone gives a damn about the true terminology of the word "Panzer" or any other word of that sort. Step off.

Can't answer that one for you.

I didn't read that as offense. Besides, I find the etymology of the terminology pretty darn interesting.

[Yannia]

In Yannia, tanks are known as pantsërwágën, which is actually short for the official term, pantsërstreydwágën.

Pantsër means armour, streyd means fight, wágën means vehicle.
