2. Why is there a dark and light green for Slavic languages when it’s clearly the same word?

   Edit: and then even the German and English are clearly related to the Slavic

3. Interesting 🧐

4. hós before brós

5. In Romania we can say nămeți or nea. These forms are closer to lantin form, I guess

6. Wow Turkey should be ashamed of itself

7. I don’t get it, why are greens different for Slavic languages when it’s the same word?

   And if it is the question of scripts, then why are states with a language that uses both Latin and Cyrillic like Serbia, Montenegro and B&H not colored in such a way?

22. It’s “sníh”, not “snih” in Czech.

23. Do Austrians actually use “Schnee”? They usually make up their own words, so I’d have expected something like “Gipfelweisserl” 😈
