The Names Of Central America Explained

You're lucky nowadays it's called Los Angeles or L.A. It used to be called: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula (The city of our lady the queen of the angels of the river of Porciúcula). Try saying that ten times quickly.

Guatemala is of Mayan origin, to mean the bird called the Quetzal- the national bird of this country

I used to live in Costa Rica

I live in central america from age 12 until age 40 it is a very beautiful place but the name banana republic is not what many people thinks it came from you forgot or maybe you dont know how that the US destroyed many of those countries be the democraticaly elected presidents refused stoop to the unfair demands of the united fruit company now known as chiquita banana thats over 70 yrs ago and unfortunately they havent fully recovered

😂 you are a English repeater, the ithsmus of Panama 😅 is not in central America😂 , you can prove me erroneous if you can, my grandfather, named it 😂. Saludos Iberoamerica a single continent Americus Vespucci ❤❤

"Ela Salavador"

You missed Costa Rica's terminology for its inhabitants, Ticos.
To be honest expect a little bit more than only there's nature!...

IM GUATEMALAN W VIVA GUATEMALA

The -istan countries would be cool to see next!

The original name of Honduras was Comayagua.The province of Comayagua .

The picture you have for Belmopan it not correct

I'd always assumed the '-gua' at the end of 'Nicaragua' (And 'Managua') and the one at the end of 'Antigua' were related, Due to being in a close part of the world, Although from what I see here it seems they are indeed unrelated, Save by both being from Spanish.

Central America is Part of North America.

I subscribed just because you got the name of Belize accurately!

Very funny America is divide in 3 parts North America Canada , US and Mexico , Central America . and South Anerica Simple Geografia de 3 Grade 😂

That was the most interestingly uninteresting video I've watched lol

I cant unsee his beard as a :> face lol

Wanaku is Quechua, a camel from South America inexistent in Mesoamérica

Guanahani, Guanaja, Guanacastl is related to tribal council under a tree, this is the source of patronymic Guanaco

i know Spanish

You forgot about the Caribbean

Too mush mouth, so thumbs down.

All hail San Shayachrn

Your definition of the term 'Banana Republic' (cribbed from Wikipedia) also depends on exploitation by imperialist countries like the US or UK. Leaving that part out misses the most important context of the word.

Also Guatemala has the tallest volcano in Central America 🌋

Guatemala City hasn't always been the capital city, Antigua Guatemala was previously the capital city of Guatemala 🇬🇹😊.

Quetzalcuate the great Aztec poet king, he ruled the kingdom of aztlan from mezo America all the way up to califas

It’s sad that these countries have been destroyed and bullied by bigger countries like the U.S.A. And England, etc…

Costa Rica and Panama are NOT mesoamerica!

Shoutout to the fellow ticos 🇨🇷 PURA VIDA!

The Panamá 🤠 is from Panamá. It was cheaper to make in Ecuador.

with an accent like the I don't think this man knows nothing about Centro America !!

You know something, it is very odd because I have noticed that people in English, specially in the US are taught that we are a sub region of North America, and in school they teach us that Central America is their own sub continent, not a part or a sub region of North or South America, this is why I was discussing with some people that they were saying that Costa Rica is part of North America, however I noticed it is something that people specially that studied in English might say, but in Spanish we are not being taught in that way,

Or better known as the nos boring countries

HA HA even your character is a fat ass, HA HA

Náhuatl is not a native language of Guatemala, the name was given by the Mexica Nahuatl speakers that helped the Spanish conquistadors, please stop with the misinformation of clumping all indigenous languages as Mayan languages

The photo from Belmopan was wrong. Thats San Salvador. A very vintage photo BTW.

Banana Republics!.....

not once did you pronounce el salvador correct but thank you for the shout out ❤😂

Recien encontre este video de hace dos años y lei los comentarios antes de escuchar el video. Varios hicieron referencia al narrador y con malos modales y hasta burla se refirieron al acento y especificamente que no podia pronunciar ciertas palabras, etc. Despues de escucharlo me di cuenta que este creador ha narrado otros videos precisamente porque habla muy claro y usa el ingles mas comun. La persona es Britanica y tiene un perfecto acento de Inglaterra. No tiene ningun acento regional de los Estados Unidos por lo que ustedes no comprendian y los que hicieron comentarios en su contra deben disculparse. Ciertamente pudo hablar mas despacio para mas impacto. A la vez no pueden exigir que pronuncie como hispano o como indigena las palabras que son extranjeras para el. No quisiera yo tener que escuchar el ingles y el mismo Español regional que hablan todos los que comentaron.

Wait a second? Is not part of Mexico

Genuinely surprised that Mexico isn't considered part of Central America.

I grew up seeing Central America as a sub-faction of North America 🌎 with the country in between the center of both continents. I guess it makes sense though. Since Mexico does run a bit north.

South america 60 percent indians natives
40 percent europeans.
Central america 99 percent natives indians and 1 percent europeans.
Usa 65 percent europeans 15 percent afroamericans and 20 percent indian natives
