World Language Maps

Elaborate maps of worldwide language distributions, concentrating on the diverse languages of Asia and Africa. I heard that they say the equivalent of "doing donuts" in southern Togo and the equivalent of "whipping shitties" in central Togo. (via kottke)

But please CM, the correct spelling and pronunciation must be "whippin' shitties" --to give voice to the "ing" is to make a mockery of the great tradition of hillbilly vernacular.
