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

      The Netherlands should be highlighted for ë but isn’t

        ï, ö, ü, ä as well (as a diaeresis, not an umlaut)

            Geïnteresseerd, geïntegreerd, geüniformeerd.

              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.

        And for à, as in “30 à 50 wilde varkens”.

        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.

      Also ü for Spain is missing, uncommon but definitely used and important.

      ironically the use of those in spain everyday is way more common than the use of the Ñ
