Favourite official languages of Europe

[Comte Arnau]

I know there is an old thread about it, but the map was political, so it showed countries, not official languages.

This map is a much more accurate one, as it shows both the official and officially recognized languages of Europe. (There are a few more languages, some even spoken by several thousands, but these are the ones that are legally official or officially recognized by some laws, either fully, partially, or de facto)

I also modified the traditional Like/Dislike/Hate by more appliable states of mood towards them. Those you are completely neutral at all about or simply ignore could be left gray.

Btw, yes, I'm aware that I didn't include Russia, Turkey or Kazakhstan, even if part of them are geographically Europe.

You may notice some minor territorial variations for the sake of colouring. If you think any legally officially or recognized as such is missing, please tell me!

You left out Albanian, Greek and Lombard as official languages in some towns in Sicily.

Nonetheless.

Icelandic sounds cool.

Thanks, I note it down.

German for the love of it.

and Spanish because I already know tons of Spanish words from Tagalog. Off the top of my head I know:

baño - bathroom
la mesa - table
silla - chair
pasajero - passenger
cigarillo - cigarette
zapatos - shoes
chicharron - pork rinds
guardia - security guard
coche - car
libro - book
moreno- brown/dark
tienda - store
basura - garbage
cajon - box
vaso - cup


I'd love to learn Spanish and German.

And Sicilian is not. Incredibile.

And Sicilian is not. Incredibile.

We're not allowed to make Sicilian official language of any towns or provinces, because the Italian government in Rome has declared that it is a dialect and not a language.
