Map of the world in countries' own languages

[sonia]

So cool! I am inordinately proud of being able to read & recognize most of the European names in their own languages, plus the ones in Cyrillic and Georgia's curly script just above Turkey, "Sakartvelo." Mostly I'm ashamed of all the geography I don't know, but it seems I've picked up a bit of knowledge here & there.

Endonym Map.

Fascinating!

(And a reminder that English filters the names of foreign countries through French and possibly German.)

Yeah, the info in the corners about colonization is interesting too.

That is so cool! Thanks for the pointer.

Glad you enjoyed!

(Cool icon. The hover-description might need a bit of editing.)

(Thanx for that.)

I want to work "endonym" into a sentence (not describing this map). Wish me luck.

Luck! Hope to hear the result!

Late to the party here, but thank you so much for sharing this. It's fantastic! Let's not talk about how much time I'll use studying this.
