Ireland should be blue, referencing irish. I assume they are only considering English.

DaMonsterKnees ,

Good point, and I imagine an Irish person would find that oversight par for the course, but I'm guilty too, so no shade. At least now we're thinking about it. Small steps.

hitmyspot ,

Hey, at least there is a border marked, so not completely forgotten. I imagine it's similar in other countries with more than one language. The main, high or common language vs the local language.

Yeah, right through the north of the country for some reason.

hitmyspot ,

Through the north of the island. Since good Friday agreement, they are two different countries. Republic of Ireland no longer claims northern Ireland.

Indeed, my Welsh Celtic cousin.

PhobosAnomaly ,

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the status of Irish in Ireland?

I only ask because my (perhaps erroneous) assumption was that Irish is a recognised language, but English is the most spoken language by a considerable margin - aggregated across all areas.

I always assumed that it had the same status as Welsh in Wales and Gaelic in Scotland - but happy to be proven wrong!

hitmyspot ,

Irish officially the first language, constitutionally. English is an official language too.

Irish is learned by all in school, but spoken as a first language by only a few. Most don't retain the school learned Irish.

I imagine it's similar to the level of speaking in Wales and Scotland. However, I think the UK does not have an official language for any of her countries and English is the lingua franca. however, I could be corrected on that, as I recall being told that northern irlend recognizes English, Irish, scots gael and mandarin.

The title doesn't say spoken language, only uses possessive language. So, the less spoken, but constitutionally first language would apply.

PhobosAnomaly ,

Yeah that's a great point, thanks for the insight!

hitmyspot ,

I suppose to summarose. Irish is spoken at low levels, but has a higher status than English officially.

    Wait, I thought this was a real map! Have I been bamboozled‽

    herrcaptain ,

    I'm guessing it's something else, with a fake label but who really knows? Still, I'd really like to see this data for real.

    Putin loves to reference Russia’s claim to that eastern slice. He mentioned it again during the interview with Tucker Carlson.

    Yeah but how many people were trying to write a letter while driving and died?

    I liked the Polish and wanted to visit until their farmers decided to fuck with Ukraine 8 ways from sunday. They're so fucking worried about Ukrainian grain that they'll fuck the only other people on the planet that have been fucked around as much as Poland, Ukraine.

    shneancy ,

    there are sane people in poland i promise, we're not all stupid bigots they're just very loud

    eran_morad ,

    Ah, MAGAts, or the local equivalent thereof. I suppose they’re everywhere.

    sadly yes, it's a plague

    Can_you_change_your_username , in Map of States where the US almost went to war over a pig

    Map needs updated, one of the disputes that escalated the Hatfield-McCoy feud concerned the ownership of a hog. The feud lead to the Governors of Kentucky and West Virginia threatening to invade each other and ended when Kentucky's Adjunct General (highest ranking office of the state militia) Sam Hill ordered a military incursion into West Virginia.

    MajorHavoc , in Map of the Midwest and its territories

    I giggled at the bulk of this, but actually laughed out loud when I got to "cold Midwest".

    As a midwesterner, we're happy to share the term. We like to include people. And to feed people. And to make sure they have a place to stay tonight that isn't too far away to drive safely, there's a pull out couch, I can put a fresh sheet on it, it's no trouble.

    01101000_01101001 , in Map of the Midwest and its territories

    "cold Midwest" is fuckin true about Alaska, though

    MajorHavoc ,

    Yeah. Watching reality TV out of Alaska, there's some solid Midwest vibes. They have every cultural right to claim the term, if they want it.

    BakerBagel ,

    The Midwest should adopt Alaska
