nice
You forgot Morroco Canary Islands Turkey etc
Good one but i would put East Germany in West Europe category and Croatia to Central Europe :)
Fun to look at and no strong disagreement. Categorizing Transylvania as Central Europe is an interesting distinction.
Cyprus is Asia, Eastern Thrace and Northern Greece are part of the Balkans.
I would say Northern Croatia is closer to Central Europe than to Balkans.
And I don't see reason to not include Eastern Germany in Western Europe.
Europeans have no culture
Parts of France should be Southern Europe, as well as parts of North Italy and Corsica. Corsica is pretty Southern.
Shetlands should be part of Northern Europe.
I think it's too vague. I was hoping to see an explanation of the differences of each nations culture.
I've read several intense cultural anthropology books and our culture is very different to the French culture. The Dutch also have a different culture to us.... they're more direct in their culture and I think they have more freedom of speech than in the UK culture which is a very non-egalitarian and class based cultural system, and the English are generally more introverted and reserved... especially in the south, but are much warmer, friendlier, and more jovial in the north of England and Scotland. Our culture is also quite oppressed and a CCTV police state, so people tend to be cautious of being non-PC in my culture (unless they're feeling relaxed on drink or pills or something.)
Our culture also tends to be monolingual, whereas a lot of people in the Dutch culture are bilingual. Etiquette, mannerisms, music tastes, humour, beliefs, customs, traditional cultural celebrations, folklore, etc, varies a lot in each European culture. I love learning about various European cultures and value the cultural learning exchanges online with other Europeans, which is why I joined the forum as it's a European cultural learning forum.
thank you for turkey
Just make it all black except for Russia. the future of Europe is SSA.
Corsica is southern Europe, also some parts of France.
Uhh, Cyprus is west asia, not Europe, lol.
You put Zakarpattia (Uzhorod etc.) into Central Europe but West Galicia (Cracow etc.) and East Galicia (Lviv etc.) into Eastern Europe? Why is that? Aren't these regions similar?
Carinthia (most Slavic-influenced part of Austria), Sachsen, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg should go (back) to Central Europe. Upper Austria might be added to West Europe instead.
Just split it by language (not language family).
The one on the top seems accurate.
You’re welcome asuvis :thumb001: I think, culture and to some extent religion are also major factors in terms of deciding whether a nation or an ethnicity is European or not. At least in common sense, these two factors are important as far as I observed. For example, geographically speaking, Cyprus is in West Asia but significant amount of people consider Cyprus as European. This might also work in the opposite manner for Kalmykia.
Aquitaine are just ethnic Basques who lost their language.
If you count North Iberia as South Europe then also Aquitaine.
As for North Italy - not sure about culture but genetically pretty much all of it is South Europe. Only some communities (usually German-speaking minorities like the Cimbri or Sappada) are intermediate between South and West-Central.
The Alps are a pretty strong barrier to gene flow.
Enough to mention, that for example ancient Etruscans clustered with modern Bergamo (or North Italy in general). And nobody considers Etruscans as "West-Central Europeans". Usually they are being described as a South European civilization.
Dalmatia has nothing to do with Balkans culturally. Or you could teach me what cultural similarities there are with Albania, Bulgaria or Macedonia.
If you lack knowledge, don't make maps.
West Europe is too large. Northern Germany has nothing to do with Alpine region for example. Poland's Baltic coast isn't central Europe either.
And Finland is culturally closer to Sweden than to Latvia or Lithuania by far.
