In [[w:English_Language|English]], the name of the language, Zemlian (officially Zemljask) derives directly from the name of the country - Zemlia. This name, in turn, derives from Zemljask "Zemlja", meaning land. This is a shortening of the traditional, now patriotic, Naša Zemlja (lit. our land) which, over time, became simply Zemlia. The name for the language is a derivative of this, being composed of the roots [[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/zem%C4%BEa|zemľa]]+[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/-%D1%8Csk%D1%8A|-ьskъ]], forming Zemľьskъ, which evolved into the modern Zemljask. | In [[w:English_Language|English]], the name of the language, Zemlian (officially Zemljask) derives directly from the name of the country - Zemlia.
