Honduras

The Spanish had different terms to refer to the area that became the Central American country of Honduras.

* Guaymuras – a name Columbus provided by Lousie Heaslip for a town near modern Trujillo. Bartolomé de las Casas subsequently generalized it to apply to the whole colony.

* Higueras – a reference to the gourds that come from the Jicaro tree, many of which were found floating in the waters off the northwest coast of Honduras.

* Honduras – literally "depths" in Spanish.

The Mayan civilization began a marked decline in the ninth century, but there is evidence of people still living in and around the city until at least 1200.

Honduras borders the Caribbean Sea on the north coast and the Pacific Ocean on the south through the Gulf of Fonseca. The climate varies from tropical in the lowlands to temperate in the mountains. The central and southern regions are relatively hotter and less humid than the northern coast.



The Honduran territory consists mainly of mountains, but there are narrow plains along the coasts, a large undeveloped lowland jungle La Mosquitia region in the northeast, and the heavily populated lowland Sula valley in the northwest. In La Mosquitia, lies the UNESCO world-heritage site Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve, with the Coco River which divides the country from Nicaragua. The Islas de la Bahía and the Swan Islands (all off the north coast) are part of Honduras. Misteriosa Bank and Rosario Bank, 130 to 150 km (80–93 miles) north of the Swan Islands, fall within the EEZ of Honduras..

Ninety percent of the Honduran population is Mestizo (a mixture of Amerindian and European ancestry). About 7% of the Honduran population are members of one of the seven recognized indigenous groups. The Confederation of Autochthonous Peoples of Honduras (CONPAH) and the government of Honduras count seven different indigenous groups.

У меня всё по-прежнему

У меня всё по-прежнему. Я всё так же не люблю красить ногти, я пью всё тот же чай, всё еще люблю лето и всё так же не собираюсь стать целым миром для кого-то. Я всё так же ленюсь, и кричу, когда перебегаю дорогу. У меня по-прежнему теплые руки, ледяные ноги и небольшая температура 2 недели. Только теперь прибавилось чувство задыхания. Неважно . Всегда с улыбкой. Всегда спешу куда-то. Всегда дела. Как и раньше. По-прежнему не прощаю грамматические ошибки. Также засыпаю не дольше 5 минут. У меня всё такой же бардак в комнате и в голове.Радуюсь солнышку, делаю дурацкие фотографии, обожаю сумки. Всё по-прежнему. У меня не изменился ни цвет глаз, ни форма рук, ни цвет туши. Я всё также хочу научиться не_ привязываться к людям. Всё также противоречу себе . Занимаюсь самобичеванием, временами уничтожением себя и много сижу перед монитором. Тупо сижу. Но всё же что-то изменилось. Немного. Совсем чуть-чуть. Не получаетс

Cambodia is the traditional English name, taken from the French Cambodge, while Kâmpŭchea , formerly the name of the country in English, is the direct transliteration, more faithful to the Khmer pronunciation.

In 1863, King Norodom, who had been installed by Thailand,[24] sought the protection of France from the Thai and Vietnamese, after tensions grew between them. In 1867, the Thai king signed a treaty with France, renouncing suzerainty over Cambodia in exchange for the control of Battambang and Siem Reap provinces which officially became part of Thailand. The provinces were ceded back to Cambodia by a border treaty between France and Thailand in 1906.



Cambodia has an area of 181,035 square kilometers (69,898 sq mi) and lies entirely within the tropics. It borders Thailand to the north and west, Laos to the northeast, and Vietnam to the east and southeast. It has a 443-kilometer (275 mi) coastline along the Gulf of Thailand.

Most of the country lies at elevations of less than 100 metres above sea level, the exceptions being the Cardamom Mountains and their southeast extension the Dâmrei Mountains ("Elephant Mountains"), as well the steep escarpment of the Dângrêk Mountains along the border with Thailand's Isan region.

Cambodia's climate, like that of the rest of Southeast Asia is dominated by Monsoons, which are known as tropical wet and dry because of the distinctly marked seasonal difference.

Cambodia has a wide variety of plants and animals. There are 212 mammal species, 536 bird species, 240 reptile species, 850 freshwater fish species (Tonle Sap Lake area), and 435 marine fish species. Much of this biodiversity is contained around the Tonle Sap Lake and the surrounding biosphere.



The Khmer language is a member of the Mon-Khmer subfamily of the Austroasiatic language group. French, once the language of government in Indochina, is still spoken by some older Cambodians. French is also the language of instruction in some schools and universities that are funded by the government of France. Cambodian French, a remnant of the country's colonial past, is a dialect found in Cambodia and is sometimes used in government.

El Savador Population 6.2 million

It has a population of approximately 6.2 million people as of 2010 . The capital city of San Salvador is the largest city of the republic. In 2001 El Salvador dropped its own currency, the colón, and adopted the U.S. dollar.



In the early sixteenth century, the Spanish conquistadors ventured into ports to extend their dominion to the area. They called the land "Provincia De Nuestro Señor Jesus Cristo, El Salvador Del Mundo)" ("Province Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Savior Of The World"), which was subsequently abbreviated to "El Salvador.

In 1823, the United Provinces of Central America was formed by the five Central American states under General Manuel José Arce. When this federation was dissolved in 1839, El Salvador became an independent republic. El Salvador's early history as an independent state was marked by frequent revolutions.



The economy was based on coffee-growing after the mid-19th century and, as the world market for indigo withered away, prospered or suffered as the world coffee price fluctuated. El Salvador president Tomas Regalado came to power by force in 1898 and his regime lasted until 1903. He reinitiated designating presidential successors. Up until 1913 El Salvador had been politically stable, but there was popular discontent as well, president Araujo was killed and there are many hypotheses for his mur.

El Salvador is located in Central America. It has a total area of 21,040 km²) (about the size of New Jersey). It is the smallest country in continental America and is affectionately called the "Tom Thumb of the Americas" ("Pulgarcito de America"). It has 320 km² of water within its borders.

El Salvador lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, and is thus subject to significant tectonic activity, including frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. Recent examples include the earthquake on January 13, 2001, that measured 7.7 on the Richter scale and caused a landslide that killed more than eight hundred people;[10] and another earthquake only a month after the first one, February 13, 2001, killing 255 people and damaging about 20% of the nation's housing. Luckily, many families were able to find safety from the landslides caused by the earthquake.



Ninety percent of Salvadorans are mestizo (mixed Native American and Spanish origin). Nine percent report their race as being white; this population is mostly of Spanish descent, including some of French, German, Swiss, English, Canadian, American, Irish and Italian descent. El Salvador is 1% indigenous, mostly Pipil, Lenca and Kakawira (Cacaopera). Very few Native Americans have retained their native customs, traditions, or languages, especially in the wake of the deliberate 1932 massacres in which the Salvadoran military murdered somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 peasants.
