Word for “universe” around Europe.
by danielogiPL
Notes:
All of the languages are color coded by the roots of the word, which I have done research on. All the yellow areas use the “omni/whole/all/entire” + “world” combination, hence they are grouped together but with slightly different shades. Please note this is only the case for the yellow areas; the blue areas all differ from each other. The Belarusian etymology is different from the yellow areas, as “cy” does not mean “whole”. Also note that I was not able to find the etymologies for all of the translations (like Baltic, Breton/Cornish and Slovene; I tried really hard to find the one for Slovene). Please let me know whatever is wrong with the colors or translations, and I might re-upload the map with a few corrected mistakes.
There are a few languages where I couldn’t find the translation, most notably Ossetian, Karelian and all the Sami languages. Please let me know any missing translations. Austria is colored the same as Germany; I keep having people commenting on Austria being empty, except it isn’t, it speaks the same language as Germany does.
