Wow! You learn new things every time you come to Bored Panda. 🐺

Brilliantly devised plan by tourism board.

Go eagles! 🦅

That Eagle's gone places.

this is my favourite!!

Okay, mind blown; it's literally twice as big as I'd imagined given typical maps. Thank you, person who made it!

To be honest, only the Centering of 0-meridian to britain is arbitary.. location of 0 latitude at the ecquator is quite natural selection.

This is a new travel guide for when the world is open again!!

Well, well, well, How the turntables...

Completely off topic: Where are the great lakes?

This map is very cool. 😮

Wow, I never knew this. Unlikely Jesus was fair skinned, blond and blue eyed....

Wait! Tell us more!

Waddle waddle. 🐧

Yeah, we’re not just an island. 🙃

I didn't know there was an ice-wall between Finland and Russia!?! (Do I need to write 'Sarkasm'?)

Surreal. I would put this on my wall just for the colours.

That would have been so cool.

Woahhhhhhh. 🤯

Imagine having the whole country to yourself. 🤣

That's sad...

Táim ag foghlaim Gaeilge!

This breaks my heart. A culture's language is the heart of who they are.

"Famine" by Sinéad O'Connor: it is a beautiful song, and it tells about the real reason so many people died In the "famine": All the food except for potatoes was sent to England, even during potato blight when there were no potatoes.

This is poignant.

My uncle Charlie was one of the few left who spoke near fluently, he passed in August 2020.

i wonder in 2020. . .

I'm very sorry to hear that...

There is a group called Daltaí na Gaeilge, which is dedicated to preserving the Irish language!

oh yeah, I'm learning Irish on Duolingo, and one of the constant facts is "There are more people learning Irish than there are native speakers." Sad, bc I really love Ireland, and their language is just gorgeous.

The Aran Islands will always stay green!!!!!

bruh get map of aboriginal australian language loss. i blame colonizers

Yes, but it’s bloody hard to learn

💔💔💔💔💔

I'm trying 😥 😔

Ireland kinda looks like a Pokemon 🤔

SAD

This was ultimately because of British oppression, right? Like during the great hunger is when the British forced their language onto the Irish, or is that way off?

Utterly heartbreaking 🥺

Scotland and Wales have made the the Native tongue compulsive in schools, not sure about Ireland.

OMG

Tá mé brónach

=(

This is awful. We should start teaching and learning Irish the same way we do English. English is spoken across the globe. Wouldn't be nice if Irish was too?

I'm with this. I like graphs and maps. It helps me visualize it better. I do better with graphs tho (not much of a difference either way).

What language(s) are currently being spoken (in the white areas?) English?

WOW. The vernacular was practically gone when my granddaddy emigrated in the early 1920's. Sad. Feel like I've been punched in the gut. 😔

This is horrible!
