Examples are Bulgarian and Macedonian portokal, Greek portokali, Romanian portocală and Georgian phortokhali . Also in South Italian dialects (Neapolitan), "orange" is portogallo or purtualle, literally "the Portuguese ones". Related names can also be found in non-European languages: Turkish portakal, Arabic al-burtuqal, Persian porteghal and Amharic birtukan.
