Mapping Etymology

Mapologies is a website that shows many interesting etymology maps such as this one showing the word for Earth throughout Europe-from their planets page.

The countries are color coded by the language family origins of the words. Here are peaches from the fruits page.

I like the peach shapes in the legend though they're probably just Apple Computer logos.

Beyond etymology, they've also branched out to other creative items such as the tripoint constellation (where three countries come together)

and emoji maps.

I love that Utah is just Utah.
