Central America is part of North America. It's a Region name, I guess. Kind of like "West Coast" and "The South" in the United States. And yes, Mexico is part of North America and not associated with Central America. Central America is comprised of (from North to South) Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Also, Panama's capital is Panama City. Since we are at it, why not make a video on why Central America is called that and not just lumped together with the rest of North America?

In fact, there are three Mexicos. 1-The country. 2-The state of Mexico (is a state of Mexico called the state of Mexico is somewhat repetitive). 3-Mexico City (the capital of the country) The city of Mexico is the original Mexico, so to speak, since the country adopts its name, since before it was called the new Spain and its capital was Mexico.

That is, unless you can magically transport yourself as you are now, trained and educated in the 20th or 21st century, back to that time. You would, certainly be way above average to others of that period. You would also not last very long.

Great video as always! As for the pronunciation of Huitzilopochtli --not bad! you gotta remember tho that "h" is always silent in Spanish so instead of "hweets-ee-low-poached-lee" it's more like "wheats-ee-low-poached-lee" (or just weets-ee-low-poached-lee if you pronounce the "wh" in words like "which" and "whine" different from "witch" and "wine") also the "x" sounded like a "sh" sound so "meh-she-co" rather than the modern spanish pronunciation "meh-he-co" tho both are probably fine if you ask a mexican

Just to explain a little bit further, the name México city was not the official name of the city until 2016. Before, it was officially called Distrito Federal (federal district).

YES! MY HOMETOWN!. And yes, you totally butchered the pronuciatuon of the names

Don't worry too much about how to pronounce Aztec god names, most Mexicans don't pronounce them right either. But your pronunciation makes them sound funnier. By the way, it is worth knowing that Aztecs refereed to themselves as Mexicas, due to their devotion to the God of war. The word Aztec was the name other tribes and cities called them. The word Aztec comes from Aztlan, the ancient city the Mexicas were supposed to come from, before the construction of Tenochtitlan. Oh, and the Aztec language is known as Nahuatl, it is still used today in different parts of Mexico.

Great video! But you forgot the cool part of the aztec prophecy of the eagle eating a snake in the cactus, that's were the national crest comes from.

Hi, great video bur there are a few things I may be able to clarify: first the Aztecs founded Tenochtitlán where they did because (according to the legend) a priest was told a dream by the god Huitzilopochtli that they must settle in the place where they found an eagle eating a snake on top a cactus, that here we call “nopal”. A very common story is that the priest was called Tenoch and Tenochtitlán meant city of Tenoch but that has been proven not case, just an interesting story. Second: Mexicas is the correct name for the people of Tenochtitlán, let me explain: Very similar to the Jewish conception, the Mexicas were the chosen people of a god, in this case of Huitzilopochtli. The Mexicas were the oppressed inhabitants of Aztlán Chicomóztoc, and the latter mistreated their macehuales (the common class and most of the population), and this oppressed people were liberated by Huitzilopochtli. The god, then, orders them to leave Aztlán and undertake a long journey to find their "Promised Land." They did not think of themselves as Mexica until when they stopped on their pilgrimage: “In the hole of a very large and thick trunk they made a hole to place the effigy of their god there. When this was done, they began to eat: somewhat loudly, a great noise was heard suddenly and the tree broke in the middle. Having that happen as an omen, the protective god through the priest Huitzitl, then ordered his people to turn away from the other groups or Nahuatlacan tribes and mudara by name.” (León Portilla, Los Aztecas: Disquisiciones sobre un Gentilicio www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/ecn/article/view/9231/8609) The Aubin Codex states: And right there, they changed their name from the Aztecs. Huitzilopochtli said: Now the Aztecs will no longer be your name, you will be Mexica. So the Mexicas took their name. Thus, the name of Mexicas was assigned to them as a sign of liberation before the Chicomoztoca Aztecs.

I haven’t seen any comment regarding this (my bad if this was already told): Mexico’s official name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos or Mexican US (because why not?) and the capital’s official name was Federal District. This was changed a couple of year ago and the name is now Mexico City but still, the name is not the same as the country. We share similarities to what happened to the USA that are now commonly named America in most English speaking countries but their official name was based on the fact that their are located in the American continent and not that their territory was to be named America.

There is also a Panama City in Florida... And a town called Venice... and a city named Saint Petersburg. Wow such creativity over here in Florida!

do why there is washington dc, little washington, and washington state.

So Brits pronounce conquistador as "cun-kwitz-uh-door"... learn something new every day...

I'd be wary of believing any foreign word that this chap says. He's very ignorant. Look how he said 'Kuwait'.

I'm a Brit, I can't say I have ever heard it pronounced this way. I say it how it's spelt - "con-key-sta-door".

A. T. He's not an idiot, but i am poking fun. I'm a Midwesterner so I turn crayon into a 1 syllable word

What is writen at 0:15 under England City.

The Aztecs where looking for an eagle eating a snake on top of a cactai not just cacties

Why do you read the first two syllabi" of Tenochtitlan as "tecneo" when it is simply "teno"?

Actually Mexico, the country, is officially named United Mexican States

Reporter to Abraham Lincoln: "Was the city of Lincoln named after you?" Abraham Lincoln: "I believe it was named, after I was named.

It's so weird to finally see a name explain about my country, seeing him explaining all the things you already know... And getting most of them slightly wrong.

I never tought you were gonna make a vídeo of my country :) For most of us the countrys name means: Place in the belly of the moon

you never fail to impress when it comes to pronunciaton, Name Explain.at least you butcher some of them and it makes me laugh. thanks a lot for that :)

Que chido, I loved that you talked about my country, and my city. We also have a state called "Estado de México", I don´t know why. I think aztec word can be difficult, sure you did your best to pronounce them.

Si pero al parecer no se informó bien, ya que dijo que México era un país de Centro America, que claramente no lo es

Sí, cometió un pequeño error, y lo mencionó en el comentario que tiene fijado. A mí no me parece importante, América es un solo continente, norte, centro, sur, no hace diferencia, creo que fue un error sin importancia.

Huitzilopochtli told them not Just to look for prickly pear cactuses( that specific species is called the Nopal, for anyone wondering.) But a cactus WITH an eagle perched upon it devouring a snake. Hence the image on the center of the Mexican flag

That’s an interesting pronunciation of “Kuwait” I’ve always heard it as “Koh-weyt” rather than “Ku-hwot”

Can you tell us why Switzerland will change its name what is the meaning of the old name and the new name

Awesome video! Btw we pronounce it as "Meshica"

I'm experiencing jamais vu over the word "mexico" since you said it so many times

it feels like patrick trying to pronounce things right ended in making a lot of the words not being pronounced right

I would like to see the name of Montenegro explained so I'm considering to become a patron, but no promises :P

THE WAY YOU PRONOUNCED TENOCHTITLAN HOLY SHIT SNCJDNCJSNFBS

Do something about easter-europian countries, like Latvia, Belarus, Poland etc. Would like to hear something about them from you :D

Before 1990, there were something like 17 governmental units named Ottawa :: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Ottawa ...

"The capital of England isn't England city." Nick Crompton: That's where you're wrong, kiddo.

The name of polish capital is very interesting one, I mean it literally means "The city that saw war" (or warring saw if you want). I think that this subject would make an interesting video.

One of the capitals of the Shang Dynasty (China, 1600BC-1046BC) was called The Great Settlement of Shang (大邑商).

Can you make another for the ship called "Queen Anne Revenge". I want to know why its name is about the revenge of Queen Anne. Is Queen Anne even exist??

Is this native music taken from Empire Total War warpath campain? Sounds similar !
