PLOTTING THE SPREAD OF LANGUAGE ON OUR PLANET

Interactive map reveals how words have evolved across the world's continents.
 
Really a well done interactive. If you are interested in language, this is for you.
 
 
Man, this is really neat.
 
 
The English word 'science' originated in Middle English and has links with Old French and Latin ‘scientia’, from scire which means ‘know’. The noun cicencia in Spanish translates to science, as well as erudition and knowledge. In German, the word translates to ‘wissenschaft’, where ‘wissen’ means knowledge and ‘schaft’ is a suffix used to denote that the word is feminine. In Finnish, science is ‘tiede’

OH MY!!!

SO VERY PRETTY!!
