Most of my life I wondered why it's called "middle of the week" when actually Thursday's the day with an equal number of days in a week coming before and after. I often thought maybe weekend's subtracted. Only in my late 20s I learned that there are places where the first day of the week is Sunday lol
I'm swiss and I always assumed its because of the workweek being Monday to Friday. But only a few decades ago Saturday was pretty mich a workday as well, so that probably isnt it
More directly, we can't agree if Sunday or Monday is the first day. IMO Sunday is the first day. Calendars look better with the weekends acting like bookends.
In Basque language the third day of the week is called asteazkena, "the last day" (aste=week azken=last) because the ancient Basque weeks only had three days. So astelehena= first day of the week = Monday. Asteartea=middle day = Thursday.
I didnt know the hungarian one had any meaning, its probably from old hungarian or another language.
Interesting facts about the days of the week in hungary: monday means the head of the week and sunday is market day(i think you can figure out why). The rest dont really make sense in modern hungarian.
It's a map of countries, not languages... There are a lot more situations in Europe where the boundaries of languages don't align with political borders.
Some other problems:
Kosovo is colored the same way as Serbia, but there are by far more Albanians live there, so it should be the colored that way.
What the hell is the color of Switzerland. Is it colored according to the Rhomansh, a language spoken by 40 thousand people, 0.5% of the population?
Belgium is wrong. If you take all 3 national languages it would be an option that's not there. Even so, the largest language (Dutch) is completely omitted from the current one. Quite an oversight, imo
