Translations are generated by Google Translate. Some may be inaccurate or use non-European (e.g. Brazilian Portuguese) words.
Just one translation is provided for each word; watch out for words with multiple meanings!
The Google Translate API does not yet translate into all European languages.
*
If Google Translate cannot find a translation, it simply shows the English word.
This may be the case for the starred words on the map.
Translation not available
Sorry, this page does not yet translate proper nouns (such as names of people or places) or words in languages other than English.

This page was inspired by
the etymology maps by Bezbojnicul on reddit.
It was built using D3, maps from
Natural Earth,
and the Google Translate API. The translations were retrieved around 2014, and unfortunately this page is not currently set up to get
new translations.
