Spain isn’t highlighted for any of á, é, í, ó, ú. Any other mistakes people notice?

The Netherlands should be highlighted for ë but isn’t

ï, ö, ü, ä as well (as a diaeresis, not an umlaut)

And for à, as in “30 à 50 wilde varkens”.

Also é and è: crème, café, etc. Words that originate from France, but they’re used in the Netherlands as well. We also use the accent aigu for emphasis. Also ê for maîtresse, crêpe, etc.

Or just greeting someone with “hé daar!”

They’ve split Finland pretty arbitrarily into areas where (supposedly) Swedish speakers are found for ‘å’, but there’s really no reason for it. The letter is a part of the Finnish alphabet and taught to everyone in school, so it should cover the whole country I think.

All Polish letters are included. But I don’t understand, why a small piece of the ocean is marked along with Poland in “Ż”.

Edit: I checked, it’s Malta.

Swedish uses é

I think it excludes it because é is only used in words from french and not swedish words.

But some words aren’t spelt with é in French. Tupé (toupee) is spelt toupet in French. The word is a loanword, but the letter isn’t.

BTW, did you know the name of the German state Bavaria, was changed from Baiern to Bayern in 1825, as king Ludwig considered himself a philhellenist, a big fan of Greece and Greek culture, and the letter ‘y’ being perceived as especially Greek character.
