Found on one of my favorite and most visited blogs, Cool Infographics.com, I love this infographic for its blend of useful information and eye-pleasing colors.

(Yes, I’m a sucker for the ‘eye-candy’ aspect of visualizations as well).

Map of European Languages

In the U.S. we understand that other countries sometimes speak foreign languages, but we have the advantage that all 50 states speak the same language (or at least a similar version of the same language).

This visual map really helps convey the diversity within the EU. It maps 46 languages across the European continent, and I know there are more.

Interesting map. To be honest Kashubian and Masurian languages are not so popular in Poland.
