  • This map is not about a nation’s word for Thursday but about the word in different languages. Austria for example isn’t labelled with any word because Austrians speak German and the German word for Thursday is already placed in Germany. The English word Thursday is placed in England, its most logical location. The Gaelic word for Thursday meanwhile is placed in Scotland, its most logical place. This doesn’t imply that the majority of Scottish people speak Gaelic, only that Scotland is the country with the highest number of Gaelic speakers while England has the highest number of English speakers in Europe.
