The German language explained in 10 slides! I wanted this post to be as detailed as possible, but of course 10 slides are not enough to exhaustively cover all the aspects of a language.

Economic Freedom across the world. This map is based on the "Index of Economic Freedom", which is an annual report published by the Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal. Countries are classified as free, mostly free, moderately free, mostly unfree, and repressed. The ranking is based on a scale from 0 (not free at all) to 100 (completely free). How can economic freedom be measured? According to the report:   "We measure economic freedom based on 12 quantitative and qualitative factors, grouped into four broad categories, or pillars, of economic freedom: Rule of Law (property rights, government integrity, judicial effectiveness) Government Size (government spending, tax burden, fiscal health) Regulatory Efficiency (business freedom, labor freedom, monetary freedom) Open Markets (trade freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom) Each of the twelve economic freedoms within these categories is graded on a scale of 0 to 100. A country’s overall score is derived by averaging these twelve economic freedoms, with equal weight being given to each." . . . Own work .

"Switzerland" in European languages Most names to designate Switzerland derive from the name of the Swiss canton "Schwyz". The other variation presented on the map comes from Latin "Helvetia", which ultimately comes from the Helvetii, a tribe that lived in the plain of Switzerland during the 1st century BC.  . The system I used for the transliteration (not translation) of the Cyrillic alphabet is the scientific transliteration of Cyrillic. The "ц" letter, for example, is pronounced as "ts" and is represented with "c". . .

A map showing the locations in which Slavic tribes were found in the Middle Ages. The second image takes into account modern-day borders. The third image shows the origins of the Slavic languages spoken today. Before commenting that the Macedonian language should be named differently, consider that there is no other available term in English. More precisely, some of the tribes that inhabited those areas were: - The Obodrites - The Velti - The Sorbs - The Silesians - The Czechs - The Polans - The Tiverti - The White Croats - The Croats - The Serbs - The Draguvites - The Vayunites - The Severians - The Volhynians . . .

Comparison between the population of Japanese regions and the population of some countries. Japan has a population density of 347 people/km². This figure is above average but not particularly surprising, as countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium or Lebanon have a population density of over 400 ppl/km².  However, only about 33 % of Japan’s land area is inhabitable because it has many mountainous areas. This percentage is smaller than European countries. For example, the inhabitable area percentages of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are 68 %, 71 %, and 88 %, respectively. This means that Japan would be placed higher on a population density ranking if it only considered the inhabitable land of countries. . . Own work .

This is a chart showing the most traded currencies in the world. Although traders’ have a diverse range of currency pair options, seven major pairs make up about 70% of global foreign exchange transactions (as shown in the chart). The United States dollar is by far the most popular currency. About 90% of global forex transactions indeed include the US dollar on one side of the transaction. The second most likely currency to be traded is the euro. A boost in turnover of the euro during the past 3 years can be linked to increased turnover of EUR/CHF and EUR/JPY currency pairs. While the third most likely currency to be included in forex transactions is the Japanese yen, its turnover has declined since 2016. Unlike the euro and the yen, the volume of the pound sterling, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Swiss franc being traded has remained unchanged over the last 3 years. . . Own work .

God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands. With only 50 % of its total area being 1 metre above sea level, the Netherlands is known for its flat geography and its artificial lands or "polders". These maps confirm how low the Netherlands is. The first image shows the Dutch territory (green) above sea level, and the second depicts its total landmass. You can see that some important cities are situated below sea level, one of them is the country's capital - Amsterdam. . . Own work. Feel free to share my content, just tag me :) . .

Names of European countries in Japanese. Thanks @japanesewithhikari for helping me with the correction of this map, follow her to learn Japanese! Remarks: - The transliteration from katakana to the Latin script (romaji), is based on the Hepburn system. - The Japanese tend to name the UK as Igirisu, which actually means England. This time, I decided to put the popular term instead of the formal term. . . Own work . . . #Japan #japanese #language #europe #europa #map #interesting
