    I like how they manage to shoehorn Old Norde into the map but ignored Russian and Polish.

      At least for my eyes, верблюд and wielbłąd seem to have a different origin than the ones depicted.

    Map is somewhat wrong in the balkans , serbo-croatians uses kamila (as romanians do) much more than deva ( turkic version )

          He’s referring to the Vatican. But in any case Latin makes more sense here since it’s the movement of the word over time.
