Got any map of Turkey?
Careful, to be consistent it can't be packed turkeys but one big turkey.

On the plus side, we'll all be long dead by then.

So, basically just Estonia, Hungary (!) and countries that speak Germanic languages.

And Finland.

I'm not a native speaker of French, but my understanding is 'doigt' is a finger and 'orteil' is a toe. I suppose you could say 'doigt de pied' for finger of the foot although I'm not sure if people would give you a funny look or not.

 

[AdrienIer]

Yeah we have both orteils and doigts de pieds that work.

Germanic and Finno-Ugric languages, makes sense.

Yeah, no.
French does use "doigt de pied" (so, literally, "foot finger"), but it also commonly use "orteil" (which is, also literally, "toe").

Edit : duh, beaten to the line already.

Wish they made these sort of maps for other parts of the world besides Europe

^Hm, ύδωρ is also the term for water (you get hydro from there). I always suspected that nero was latinate (just because it sounds like that).
Googled it now, and one (likely conclusive) theory is that nero comes from being once an epithet for ydor, in the phrase "nearon ydor" (fresh water).
ΤΙΛ.

I like how they had to both spell out that to them (same color) Taiwan is and is not part of China.

when ı squint hard enough ı can imagine ı can see the Southwestern Aegean islands are a lighter gray so like it is a different country , so like ı can barge right in . Small print stops big trouble .

Canada, China, and S. Korea are surprising.

But Turkey is a darker tone anyway. Or are you greek now
There's no independent islands, this isn't the cycladic era.

I imagine the why for each of these, is wildly different.
