Gaul

gaul English Etymology 1 Borrowed from en fr Gaule Gaul, from en frm Gaule Gaul, from en fro Gaule, fro Waulle Gaul a term used to translate unrelated la Gallia Gaul, from en frk *Walhaland *Walha(land) Gaul, Land of the Romans, foreigners, from en gmw-pro *walh foreigner, Roman, Celt, from en gem-pro *walhaz an outlander, foreigner, Celt, probably of en cel origin, from the same source as la Volcae name of a Celtic tribe in South Germany, which later emigrated to Gaul. Akin to goh Walh, goh Walah a Celt, Roman, Gaul, ang wealh a non-Germanic foreigner, Celt/Briton/Welshman, non Valir Gauls, Frenchmen. More at en Wales/en Welsh, en Cornwall, en Walloon, and en Vlach/en Wallachia. Despite their similar appearance, Latin la Gallia is not the origin of French fr Gaule. During the evolution from Latin to French, stressed initial /ˈɡa-/ yielded /dʒa/ > /ʒa/ (cf. Latin la gamba > French fr jambe), while unstressed final /-lia/ yielded /ʎə/ > /j/ (cf. Latin la filia > French fr fille). Thus, the regular outcome of la Gallia is /ʒaj/ ⟨Jaille⟩, which is attested in several French toponyms: La Jaille-Yvon, Saint-Mars-la-Jaille, etc. Pronunciation en /ɡɔːl/ en LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-Gaul.wav Southern England en /ɡɑl/ cot-caught en ɔːl 1 en gall Proper noun en Q38060en chiefly historic en historical region r/Western Europe *referring to areas occupied by Celts during Roman times, roughly corresponding to modern France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, and parts of Northern Italy (Lombardy), the Netherlands, and Germany west of the Rhine. en Celtic Gaul Belgic Gaul Aquitaine Cisalpine Gaul Transalpine Gaul Gallia Narbonensis historical Derived terms en Gaulic Translations region Afrikaans: af Gallië Arabic: ar بِلَاد الْغَال f-p, ar غَالِيَا f Azerbaijani: az Qalliya Breton: br Galia f Bulgarian: bg Га́лия f Catalan: ca Gàl·lia f Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 高卢 Gāolú Czech: cs Galie f Danish: da Gallien n Dutch: nl Gallië n Esperanto: eo Gaŭlio, eo Gaŭlujo Finnish: fi Gallia French: fr Gaule f Old French: fro Gaulle f Georgian: ka გალია German: de Gallien n Greek: el Γαλατία f Ancient Greek: grc Γαλατία f Hebrew: he גַּלִּיָּה f Gallía Irish: ga Gaill f An Ghaill, ga Gall m Italian: it Gallia f Japanese: ja ガリア garia Latin: la Gallia f Latvian: lv Gallija f Norwegian: Bokmål: nb Gallia n Nynorsk: nn Gallia n Old Church Slavonic: cu Галліꙗ f Persian: fa گالیا gâliyâ, fa گل gol Polish: pl Galia f Portuguese: pt Gália f Romanian: ro Galia f Russian: ru Га́ллия f Slovak: sk Galia f Spanish: es Galia f Swedish: sv Gallien n Turkish: tr Galya Ottoman Turkish: ota غالیه Galya Ukrainian: uk Га́лія f Uzbek: uz Galliya Welsh: cy Gâl f Etymology 2 From en enm Gall, from en la Gallus.
