Thread Name: Portingale (word for Portugal?)
Subject: RE: Portingale
Curiously, the Irish word for Portugal is "Poirtingéil", pronounced roughly as I presume your "Portingale" is. It's a bit complicated by inflection depending on grammatical case and use of the definite article - but it certainly sounds very similar. I don't recall ever hearing/seeing it in English usage.
