Why is this a map? Some of these countries have multiple languages, like Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Wales, even Spain has Catalonian.

False, italian has a word for toe that is separate from the fingers of the feet (alluce)
That is specifically the name for the big toe though, and while there are names for the various other toes (they're quite uncommon, I don't remember them), they're not generic like "toe"
In Polish, "ręka" can mean both arm and hand and which one it is is context dependent
Well, there's "dłoń" for hand. "Ręka" means the whole arm, including the hand, I assume.
In Bulgarian "длан" [dɫan] (which in IPA is spelled close enough to "dłoń"] refers specifically to the palm while "ръка" [rɤˈka] can refer to the the hand, whole arm and some people may use it for palm even, although that last one is not correct.
Dłoń means something more like palm
Kinda same in Slovenian. You don't shake hands, you shake arms. Anything you do with your hands is done with your arms. The word for hand is not used that often.
Are there jerk off jokes about someone's arm being their lover instead of their hand?
Yes. "Do poroke na roke" is one meaning until your wedding you get it done by hand
This unites the Germanic and Uralic languages in by far the most important cultural way.
in French, les orteils but also plenty of slang: les nougats, les arpions, les radis, les haricots...
Well we definitely have both, we do also say "doigts de pied".
We have a word for toe, and we don't use it very much.
I don't know much about it, but I suspect this is not far off from being just a map of the 'Germanic" language family.
Not quite. Green countries are germanic or uralic (finnish, estonian, hungarian). I assume each country is only represented by a single language on the map, and Ireland is probably assumed to be speaking English according to this map.
In certain Austroasiatic languages, your wrists and ankles are your hand-necks and foot-necks.
In hungarian we have a similar thing but for your foot and hand, its leg-head and arm-head respectively.
So the Flemish part of Belgium has "tenen", which is not toefinger. The french have "orteils", which is also not fingers of the foot( finger is doigt ).
So the map is at least wrong for those two countries.
Are you really telling me that cookie clicker was made by a french toe?
