    Language maps shouldn’t be country maps, as language boundaries rarely overlap country borders. And it’s also wrong, in Hungarian toe is “lábujj” literally means “footfinger”

      By that logic, it should be both green and red, because it looks like “lábujj” is both a word, and like you said it means “footfinger”.

      Sociocultural boundaries are almost entirely grounded in language. Nation states are almost entirely grounded in imagination.
