Nonsense I saw this here Italian it is not an agglutinative language as is German And I found your name below it As a linguist I know exactly that German as all the other germanic languages English Dutch asf is NOT an agglutinative language It has a complex inflection system more complex than the Italian one what means that it is the complete opposite of agglutinative languages The word S dtirol isn t just a putting together of south and tyrol It is a word that exists because of a historical developement by combining the ideas of being south and a part of Tyrol So it makes every sense to translate it as Sudtirolo my linguistic friend PS It seems you have taken the wrong way to patriotism Be careful By an anonymous South Tyrolean
