Is there any difference between gugde and natmi, > besides that a gugde has a land? A gugde is a sovereign state. A natmi is a group of people united by ancestry and/or history and/or culture and/or language and/or religion .... They may or may not correspond. For example, the Australian natmi is, broadly speaking, confined to the Australian gugde (with the exception of individual expats, of course); but the Serbian natmi may be found in at least five gugde: Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan Rather than making ill-conceived suggestions for improvement based on uninformed guesses about established conventions in a field of study with which familiarity is limited, it is sometimes better to stick to merely observing the usage and listening to the explanations offered, inserting only questions as needed to fill in gaps in understanding. --Peter Constable
