@infobeautiful And then, the Basques are there in their little corner between France and Spain saying "Sukalde" (Literally "Beside the fire") being the language outliers we are.

@infobeautiful wait, there's no cognates from Proto-Indo-European for kitchen?

Wie man sieht, ist die Globalisierung kein neuzeitliches Phänomen.

@infobeautiful people may wonder how the Malagasy "lakozy" comes from the French "cuisine". As someone who lived on Madagascar for a while, I can shed some light. Many borrowed words in Malagasy include the article, so make that "la cuisine". Next, the letter O is pronounced U. Lastly, the stress is on the last syllable here, so the whole thing is pronounced 'lakooZEE', which is a lot closer than what English speakers are going to read unprepared.

I'll shed some light, too.
In January 1897, France declared Madagascar a colony. The policy of pacification of the island lasted about 15 years. About 100,000 Malagasy became victims of repression by the French colonial administration.

Lithuanian is “virtuvė”.

I wonder what other places held off the “Roman onslaught” and what their lineages are?

@infobeautiful I see the Isle of Man doesn't exist, as usual.
