And in Florida is Saint Augustine. A quick google search will provide much more, much easier than I could. I was surprised how narrow streets could be.

The strongest aussie accent i have EVER heard. I already like this dude and i barely just found him! 😎👍

Even though exonyms are commonly used throughout history (I.e. none native words for things and people) I still feel that when there’s historical documentation of native peoples calling something local to the area the same or a similar name to the modern name, then that’s more likely the origin of a states name. (As it’s a word that people are actually using at the time which is endemic, rather than similar words from other sources) it also makes more sense since it’s a native word likely to predate foreign settlement, colonisers often using native words in the names of settlements.

Most of the state of Nevada is above 5500 feet above sea level and many mountain ranges have snow on them year-round. The majority of the state sees a winter lasting 6-7 months.

The way the narrator pronounced "Allegheny" at the 18:52 mark is incorrect (unless there's an accent that does say it that way). It's pronounced more like "ala-gainy."

Thanks for taking a look and learning a bit about our history, it's definitely interesting whenever we can see perspectives on this stuff from outside of our own! If you enjoyed this, I'd highly reccomend a video called "13 American accents ranked easiest to hardest to understand" as it shows a bit of how truly diverse America is linguisticly, and I'd love to see if you can understand some of the more "difficult" ones 😂😂

You should learn about Canada

Historically, waterways were so important to people back then, particularly for transportation and trade. You will find that many large cities are either along rivers or at ports. This is why I know that if I ever get lost while hiking, all I have to do is find a river or stream and then follow it downstream and eventually, I will run into a town or city.

an aussie would appreciate this. we have a mountain range called the Grand Tetons or the Tetons. alledgedly, they were named by french trappers who thought they looked like breasts.

I did know the origin of Massachusetts (my home state) but not most of these. Although I figured most were from Indigenous languages. It's incredible realizing how many dialects there were within Native tribes. A shame how many got lost. Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot.

We were taught a theory in elementary school that the name Kentucky came from a word meaning dark and bloody ground. This has since been proven false but the idea came from the fact that there was no one tribe that had settled that area for very long before the Europeans came there. It was considered a lush hunting ground and was fought over by many different tribes long before America's founding. It became a very difficult place for the European settlers for this reason. Eventually of course it became settled by many people known in America as the Scots-Irish who saw the rolling green hills which reminded them of their homeland. Today you'll find a lot of Scottish/Irish culture which has evolved into Kentucky culture such as clog dancing and bluegrass music.
-
Rivers were very important as they were not only a source of water, but a main method of transportation and thus important for trade routes. Some of our rivers are still used for shipping goods.
-
Western Nevadas border are the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Yes, it snows there, quite a lot.
-
Utah's name comes from a native tribe, the Ute's. Means the mountain people or the people. It's a Shoshone dialect.
-
A couple notes—most Americans CAN name all 50 states. In alphabetical order and to a tune, in fact! Most of us learn the “50 nifty” song in grade school.
The original video says O’odham was am indigenous language, but O’odham is an indigenous language. It has not died out and some people still speak it.

Im a tennessee native also cherokee indian decendent tennessee is a cherokee word, but its name wasnt always tennessee it was called the state of franklin and was part of what became north carolina im an 8th gen tennessean so yes we used to have a state named after franklin
-
Just an FYI… you can pause the video to comment especially since there aren't breaks between each state.
-
The word tennessee roughly means gathering so there is no set location the gathering itself is what the word means
-
Floridian here, Saint Augustine in Florida is the oldest city in the United States, founded in 1565 and the old Spanish fort there predates that and goes all the way back to 1514.

1:36 funnily enough, people are still trying to do this. California outside of the big cities is mostly blue-collar, and right-leaning. A small group of those people want to break California up into 2 states and call the new state "Jefferson" or "Lincoln"
