    Kinda hate how the two different versions of this I’ve seen lump the Republic of Ireland in with the UK like they don’t have their own language seperate from English.

      While Irish is definitely a language that is spoken by many people in Ireland, it’s not quite “main language of the country” level yet so I can see why maps don’t count it

    but in France you have to try to speak French first, get humiliated, and then they tell you to knock it off and just speak your own language

      Me and my “French taco” with ham, harissa, frites, kebab, and a hamburger patty can attest to that.

    Why is Monaco grey-ish? It’s not in the legend. Probably because there are no actual people in Monaco, only rich.

    As someone with 9th grade Canadian core French from 25 years ago, this has not been my experience of the French at all. Not in France, nor in Quebec. What are y’all doing to their language??!?

      Those kind of maps are based of stereotypes and memes rather than actual surveys. So always take it with a grain of salt.

      We Germans love when foreigner speak German even the pronunciation or grammar isn’t perfect. To be honest most Germans can’t speak perfect German either.

      No, we do actually appreciate when people speak good German, we just know it’s an absolute pain and want to be nice.

    Nope, Spain falls under “Lets switch to English” especially if you learned Spanish from Latin America…… Stuck up snobs and their Castilian Spanish.

            No it isn’t. The phonetic transcription of a lisp is “ð” and your “transcription” is gibberish. Funny, if you think that everything must be pronouced like English but revealing what an ignorant you are to everyone else.
