Words in Europe...

Words in Europe...  Fascinating maps of a few selected words and how they're said across Europe.  At right is but one example (for “church”), many more at the link.  Etymology is far more interesting than most people realize, and these visualizations are a great way to convey that.  The creator needs to work on the color selection though – that purple, that green!  My eyes, they burn!
