‘Wow, I thought Italy was fragmented at that time, but I didn’t know that Western Germany was even more! I wonder whether some Northern or Central Italian cities which were still fairly independent in XIII century, such as Bologna, should have been shown as separated entities from the territory around. In any case, very interesting map. Greetings from Kirchenstaat!’

‘I am a norwegian who loves nature and I remember I had plans to travel around europe and see all the nature then I looked at google maps and got really dissapointed. Where is all the nature left in europe?? It’s just a few patches of woods surrounded by farms and cities. It seems you can’t get lost in nature because if you walk just a little it ends..’

1910 Languages of Central Europe (without borders)
1910 Languages of Central Europe (without borders)
‘Reddish hues are Germanic languages, bluish ones are Romance, green Slavic.
The big light pink blob in the center is High German. To the north of it, darker pink, Low German and, further north and darker, Danish. The reddish hue on the border between Danish and Low German, and also in the Netherlands, is Frisian. Continuing counterclockwise you have Dutch, French, Italian; then purple is probably Friulian, which here is counted as a separate language while things like Lombardian are grouped as dialects of Italian.
Next comes Yugoslavian, including Slovenian and Bosnio-Croat-Montenegro-Serbian. Brown is Hungarian, light green is Slovakian, the green almost entirely surrounded by German is Czech, the green entirely surrounded by German is Sorbian, the green with lots of small German enclaves is Polish. The yellowish tone in the northeast is likely Lithuanian’–eukubernetes
