  im from RDCongo, we have 4 national languages, 1 official language ( french)  and more than 300 traditional languages. each athnic group has its own traditional language.

  I speak two languages, in french we call " géomètre topographe", " topographer mpimaji" in swahili

  The surveyor uses various means and methods, geometry, optics, to perform height measurements and planimetric in any field.

  In Spanish we are called like in Greece: "Topógrafos". It comes from "topos" than means "ground, place" and "grafia" that means "draw", so the one who draw the ground, the one who draws the reality.

  A surveyor is one who performs a survey. A survey implies one has access to a whole population of data from which a representation is interpolated. (A survey is NOT a poll. A poll involves accessing a small sample of the whole population from which a representation is, hopefully, extrapolated.)

  Literally the word "survey" means to oversee - in our case to "see over". From the etymology dictionary I got the following.

  surveyor (n.) early 15c. (late 14c. as a surname), from Anglo-French surveiour "guard, overseer," Old French sorveor, from Old French verb sorveoir "to survey" (see survey (v.)).
      
  survey (n.) late 15c., survei, "oversight, supervision," from survey (v.). The meaning "act of viewing in detail" is from 1540s. Meaning "systematic collection of data on opinions, etc." is attested from 1927.
  
  survey (v.) c. 1400, "to consider, contemplate," from Anglo-French surveier, Old French sorveoir "look (down) at, look upon, notice; guard, watch," from Medieval Latin supervidere "oversee" (see supervise). Meaning "examine the condition of" is from mid-15c. That of "to take linear measurements of a tract of ground" is recorded from 1540s. Related: Surveyed; surveying; surveyance (late 14c.).  

   

  Some pollsters claim when they take and retake a poll over time it becomes a survey. Authentic surveyors ought to point out the error of that every chance they can.

  Measuring (mensuration) is NOT necessary to a survey but is usually an important technical component.

  P.S. A Surveyor is NEVER "just a surveyor"!!!
