yes, Island (Iceland) is also called Island in German. But the German
word for 'island' is much longer: Insel (which probably comes from the same root as is'
in English island). |

Actually, the English word "island" is unrelated to the German word "Insel", which comes
from Latin "insula". It is, however, related to the German word "Eiland"; in English an
extra silent "s" was added centuries ago because scribes incorrectly thought the English
word was related to the Latin "insula", as the word "isle" is (cf. French "île").

haha.. I have two posts for this, and they are both Korean.
아이스크림 (a-i-seu-keu-rim) - ice cream - South Korean.
얼음보숭이 (eol-eum-bo-soong-i) - ice cream - North Korean.
Just an example of South-North linguitic diversion...
