In Malay, The Netherlands is "Belanda" - interestingly, turkey (the bird) translates to "ayam Belanda", or "Dutch chicken".
Japan = "Jepun"
China = still spelt China but pronounced "Cina" (the nationality is "Cina")
France = "Perancis"
Germany = "Jerman"
USA = "America Syarikat", literally "Corporate America"
English (nationality and language) = "Inggeris"
The Philippines = "Filipina"
Cambodia = "Kemboja"
Portugal = "Portugis"
There's probably more that I'm forgetting.
Names for countries in other languages...
