Provided our entries are accurate, Lo Ximiendo (talkcontribs) is way off the mark; hispaania means 'Spanish' and Hispaania mean 'Spain'. Not identical. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:45, 25 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
In Finnish, names of languages are the same as names of countries, but language names are written without the capital letter. Espanja means Spain, but espanja means the Spanish language. To say 'Spanish' in general you would use either Espanjan (the genitive) or espanjalainen (which also means Spaniard). It's probably similar in Estonian as well. —CodeCat 12:03, 26 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
CodeCat is right. I took the liberty of removing the rfd-tag. I also added a gloss and a synonym. --Hekaheka 15:24, 26 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Good. Then I guess this is done. -- Liliana 13:32, 27 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
