Word for “ear” in Europe
by danielogiPL
Notes:
All of the languages are color coded by the roots of the word, which I have done research on. If you are wondering why almost every language is yellow despite many of them sounding different, they all come from the Indo-European “h₂ṓws”, meaning “ear”.
Tatar (requested), Adyghean and Gaugaz have been added to the map.
Arabic has been split into a few regions due to there being multiple words for “ear” in Arabic, though the borders are not shown. Let me know if I missed any words.
In Spanish (oído/oreja), Portuguese (ouvido/orelha) and Italian (orecchio/orecchia) there are multiple ways of saying “ear”, though the main difference is the different gender. If you speak any of these languages, please let me know if any of the words I used do not fit.
If you want to point out a mistake, please do so in a civil, helpful way! I love hearing about languages, and I’d be very happy to have you guys help me out with making the map correct. You don’t need to act rude because of an error, I just like if you’re helpful.
KNOWN ERRORS:
Croatian should be uho, not uvo
in Greek, the correct spelling is “αντί”
