Wtf northern Spain?

Also wales and Ireland surprised me, I had assumed those were different named

dont look up "William" in spanish

Apart from Spanish there's 3 other languages in that region. Euskara, Gallego y Catalá

It must be Asturian rather than Catalan, surely? Asturian Xuan is really tiny on the map, but it is there in between the Galician and Basque ones

Xuan I can't explain tbh, that's just weird

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I believe that may be Basque, a language famous for not being related at all to any other languages.
