"german"

[germanchair]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
The variaty in different languages of the words "german" and "germany" comes from the historical geographical and political  situation. There were many germanic tribes who named yourselves differently. 
The franc tribes had contacts with the alemans, so  in the romanic languages remained this root:"alemao" (portugal), "allemand" (french) an so on. 
The scandinaves had contacts with the sacsons: "saksaa" (finnish). 
The latin word "german" comes from "herman"(Krieger) and went to many european languages. 
The "Deutsch" from "diot" (volk) went to "tysk"(Sweden, Norway, Danmark), "tedesco" (ital.) 
The russian "nemetzki" ( in many slavic languages too) from "nemoj" (mute) comes from the XVIII cent., it was the word for all foreigners, who didn't know the Russian and  were like mute in the communication.

Who can help me with the following?:

1) the easten languages ( chines, japanes, corean)  have the root "doku" , "dago" or  like this (I have the transcription out of russian dictionaries). How the  more right transcription and the etymology can be? 
2) How are the words "german" and "Germany" in other languages and why?     Arabic? Urdu?   Hindi?  Turkish? Mongolian?  Latinamerican languages?(Perhaps from"aleman"?) African? Indonesian? And so on...
