Makhalilo

Nkhani ikulu: Etymology of London

London ni zina lakale, ilo lili kulembeka kale mu vyaka vya m'ma 100 C.E., ndipo kanandi likulembeka mu Chilatini kuti Londinium.[13]

Para ŵasayansi ŵasanda zina ili, ŵakwenera kumanya umo lili kufuma mu viyowoyero vyakupambanapambana: Chilatini (Londinium), Chingelezi chakale (Lunden), na Chiwelsh (Lundein). Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuzomerezga kuti zina ili likafuma ku chiyowoyero cha Common Brythonic. Mazgu agha ghakalembeka mu Cilatini kuti Londinium ndipo ghakalembeka mu Cingelezi cakale.[14]
