How to create your own map:

an ancient secret lost long ago, preserved only in our wiki

Rules:

  1. This is a community for etymological maps. Your post should either link to one or discuss some aspect of them.
  2. Posts that simply link to maps have to have a descriptive title. For example, your post title should contain the word whose roots you are showing, the resolution, and whether it is original content. Tag original content with [OC], and attribute other redditors' creations with [by <user>] if you are reposting their work and link to their thread in the comments, if possible.
  3. Please don't repost the same content more often than every 6 months.
  4. Be professional. If you think a redditor-made map is of low quality, write a comment detailing how it could be done better, and don't just downvote.
  5. Please host your images on imgur.com or minus.com, unless you are linking to the original source.

(FIXED) Piano in European Languages

I decided to make a deeper research after your comments. There are some things I didn't fix on purpose, as some of them were actually right. If you notice I did something wrong, let me know about it. I'm not a linguist btw.
