        It is interesting, because Nippon is a somewhat archaic version in Japanese. They usually say Nihon now.

        But of course, these exonyms will have been borrowed into these various languages a long time ago, so it kind of makes sense.

  Maybe it’s just regional for me, but we say Japonais
