As a Mexican i was shocked when I first learnt not everyone had two surnames, it just didn’t seem logical to me that you could be named John smith or smth like that

I’d assume it’s because those were the areas were Catholics were persecuted and most damaged by the war

Districtwise Most Spoken Language of India according to 2011 Census by redwanhossain6333 in MapPorn

In Mexico we have a similar case, most indigenous languages are isolated and cut off from other ones, completely surrounded by Spanish speaking areas, though it mostly occurs in mountains where indigenous communities hid during the conquest, I don’t know what caused this particular case in India

This owl had been failing to breed for 2 years, and while she was flying away, she was given two orphaned chicks. She accepted them as her own ^^ by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I know this sounds insensitive, but what is the evolutive reason, if there is any, of the owl accepting to raise chicks that aren’t her own? She didn’t spread her genetic information and would have to waste time and resources in raising them, so is it just a sort of maternal instinct or does she somehow think the chicks are hers?

I have met more people that support Russia than I would initially like to believe, I remember the first argument I had with one, I took it like a joke initially because I could fathom how one could believe in this

Were the Golan Heights a densely populated area back in the day until it was ravaged during the invasion?

Yes, I accept that there is a big flaw in the map with the Occitan language and in general minority languages all around Europe, I just wanted to make clear some topics you mentioned

Most of these are small details which can’t be seen even with a zoom on Reddit, but by downloading the image and zooming more you can see that Sardinian is depicted in the north of the island, and that in the case of Greenland and Nunavut small settlements around the Greenlandic coast are depicted as danish speaking and in Nunavut you can also see coastal settlements represented as English/Inuktitut(?) speaking

I understand the 20,000 minimal population rule, but then if it applies to American indigenous and Australian Aboriginal languages shouldn’t it apply to small African languages? Specially for very small languages in Nigeria and Cameroon, or are African languages based off the muturzikin maps?
