    Spain isn’t highlighted for any of á, é, í, ó, ú. Any other mistakes people notice?

              Die eerste 2, natuurlijk, ik weet niet waarom ik dat niet kon bedenken.

              Geüniformeerd heb ik nog nooit gezien, zijn er ook woorden met ö of ä?

                Coördineren. Met een ä kan ik niet bedenken of vinden.

        Also é and è: crème, café, etc. Words that originate from France, but they’re used in the Netherlands as well. We also use the accent aigu for emphasis. Also ê for maîtresse, crêpe, etc.

      They’ve split Finland pretty arbitrarily into areas where (supposedly) Swedish speakers are found for ‘å’, but there’s really no reason for it. The letter is a part of the Finnish alphabet and taught to everyone in school, so it should cover the whole country I think.

      All Polish letters are included. But I don’t understand, why a small piece of the ocean is marked along with Poland in “Ż”.

      Edit: I checked, it’s Malta.

        I think it excludes it because é is only used in words from french and not swedish words.

          But some words aren’t spelt with é in French. Tupé (toupee) is spelt toupet in French. The word is a loanword, but the letter isn’t.
