Linguists Say Touareg a Bad Name For Volkswagen’s New Sport-Utility?
Is Touareg a bad name for Volkswagen’s new sport-utility?
The language experts associated with US-based website yourdictionary.com
certainly seem to think so.
“Touareg implies political rebellion by a stateless, Kurd-like tribe whose name literally
means ‘abandoned by God,’ ” said Paul Payack, President of yourDictionary.com
(and The Global Language Monitor).
I have to say I personally didn’t get that feeling from the name, however twenty-six leading global linguists with input
from 700,000 web visitors (per month) help put together the yourDictionary.com
website. (So the chances that they know more than me are probably reasonably high)
Despite the name, anyone who has driven a Touareg wil tell you they are an impressive vehicle.
