Altered Maps XVIII: Continuing Curious Cartography

I just counted each colored section on the map. Now that I look more closely, at least two of them do not use the word "canton,"

Yeah, I think it would suck to live in a region that no one can give a name to, only a number.
I think the Cantons are only the non-Republika Srpska bit.
 
Until quite recently, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan used to be called the 'Northwest Frontier Province'
 
Republika SRPSKA Five consonants followed by a vowel!
 
And yet one feels as though one could pronounce it. An "i" kind of sneaks in between r and p when I try to do so.
 
Thirteen cantons (if I counted right). Means they gave up after nine and started trying again after 10.
Republica Srpska doesn't have cantons, only the other federal entity does.
 
And isn't a canton. Yeah, when I looked more closely, I saw why my earlier quick count didn't apply.
 
Yes there's only two federal components of Bosnia, and then the non-Serbian component of the country is itself a federation.

And yet one feels as though one could pronounce it. An "i" kind of sneaks in between r and p when I try to do so.
They're called vocalic consonants, it is usually done with nasals like M and N (think of the second syllable of "rhythm") or liquids like L and R as in Slavic languages. The distinction of vowels vs consonants is an more an analytical convenience then a firm binary.
 
So how is it pronounced? I would say something like Serb-ska at a guess.
 
Ah, yeah, more likely that the vowel slips in there. Yeah, that's what Google says.
 
That was how I was reading it, yes.
 
Global distribution of UFOs.

The Aliens are mining the Pacific Garbage Patch!
 
the report is prepared by Pentagon . Central theme being the US is so advanced that nobody else can see the aliens . As in if ı was to report stuff it wouldn't be filed within the system . Grey stuff might or might not be subsurface ufos , some of them a kilometer long as submarines and spaceships no doubt trailing an US carrier battlegroup . These things are so advanced that the US can not stop them , period . But utterly peaceful and they are trying to communicate but can't . You know being stupid and so on . It is a game by the US trying to convince the world that are allied to and protected by the 10 feet tall Nordics . This is no longer 1992 .
