Have you ever looked at a North American native language? The place-names THEY gave locations were usually long strings of descriptive words, like "The place where we saw the large rabbit during the third moon."
Do you know what tribe inhabited the area which is now the state of Kansas? The "Kickapoo." Could you imagine a US state called "Kickapoosas?"
>>73528884

Let's not pretend Canberra is a real city anon, its entire existence is just to keep Melbourne and Sydney from fighting a civil war over who should be capital.
>>73529692
God intended Melbourne to be the capital, not Canberra or Shitney
>>73527154

>massachusetts

Yeah, it's called polysynthetic. Lot's of languages are, like German, Finnish and Greenlandic. High morpheme-to-word ratio. Other cultures manage to name things reasonably, throughout history, it's actually very common. So why not?
Also, almost all "abo names" in Australia are corrupted derivatives for words and place names. Just like kangaroo is, so you don't have to have them so long anyway.

Abos would probably get too triggered if it was Sydney anyway, even though they make up like 2% of the population we're not allowed to honour any of our early history without them chucking a bitch fit.
Spain and Portugal founded so many cities that when we ran out of Conquistador and native names we started using whatever name had the Saint that day of the year.
