Actually, there is one more thing about that "anglo-centric" view I mentioned and that is the name "English" guitar, which I find rather inappropriate, and which forces us to use other adjectives like Scottish or Polish, etc. I can see that this type of classification might be useful in a certain way, but it is, in my point of view, based on a fallacy or at least an incomplete picture, and it would just be easier and perhaps even more accurate to talk about things in terms of citterns (and their music) of a certain time, place, and maker when known.
