In Arabic, too, the word for “German” is very different. الألمانية (pron.: al-almaniyya). Kind of interesting.

I've also found out it is 'saksa' in Estonian, 'vācu' in Latvian, and 'Vokiečių' in Lithuanian.

damngoodadvice, it is likely from French. The Slavic word was borrowed in Arabic as a name of Austria, "nimtsa".
