Interesting how many (mostly Slavic) countries adopted the Roman calendar but decided to use their own names. I would assume that in the earlier Slavic calendars the months wouldn’t begin on the same days, even if they had months as such.
I just love how italy has 10 different way to say the same thing thanks to how different the dialects are.
But why did they position jené over South Tyrol…? Could’ve fitted one more way of saying it there
They’ve got Crimea and Eastern Ukraine in the wrong country.
Why on earth did they put the phonetic spelling of “januari” for northern Belgium?
Lmao Nothern Belgium.
For people wondering, this user’s name is zout which is Dutch for salt. Now this could be a coincidence or the user might actually be Dutch speaking themselves, even Belgian perchance?
I’m Dutch, not Belgian. I was also referring to “jannewarie” as the phonetic spelling of “januari”, which is placed over parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Looks like I made an unintentional joke!
Yeah that’s weird, it’s the Limburgs version of January. But it’s weird to include a local dialect instead of only primary languages. And if Limburgs is included, why not Frysk as well?
It’s a weird map.
That’s the Netherlands, or I need more coffee.
It appears that there’s not anything on Belgium actually, probably because the wallons use the french word and I assume the flemings use the dutch word
Belgium has “jannewarie” for the Flemish part, and “djanvi” for the Wallon part (I could have been more clear on that). It seems this map mixes official language spellings with phonetic dialect spellings.
I don’t think the dialect spellings are phonetic, at least not all of them. From my limited Corsican knowledge this looks the actual spelling and there’s no way it would be pronounced like that
That’s the Netherlands

Your belief is correct
1526 days of Finnish on Duolingo is finally paying off!
Shouldn’t Poland be light blue, like the stripes in Belarus? Doesn’t seem to match the rest of the green areas.
