It's a weird situation=2C because basically nobody speaks the old languages=
in Ireland or Scotland anymore=2C and yet they're important parts of the c=
ulture. Assuming a "real" Klingon went to Scotland=2C they aren't likely t=
o stumble across a Gaelic speaker=2C and if they wanted to know the name of=
the country=2C they'd probably be told "Scotland" with a thick burr. So "=
Suqo'lan" maybe?=20
The New Zealand thing throws me not because they didn't use the Maori name=
=2C but because "New" does not translate to "nu"...I get the "SIylan" part =
though..

Yes=2C New Zealand does stick out.
The Maori name is Aotearoa.
I wonder what the reasoning was.
Yes=2C it might help if I post the native names for Ireland and Scotland.
Ireland: =C9ire (if the special character gets scrambled=2C that's: Eire)
Scotland: Alba
