      Comparing it with Rosa's version is like comparing Tolkien Lord of the Rings to the adapted story for Jackson's trilogy. Different medium, different considerations, even though Rosa's version is the more enjoyable for the comic Books.

    The reason why there are so many castles in Germany is not because it was so divided. After Otto the Great fended off the Magyars, he implemented a new System to keep the country permanently safe. Instead of having a standing army, which would have been too expensive he gave his knights land which they could use to get an income (from the farmers working on that land). From that income they had to supply themselves with weapons, horses and buld their own castle. In return they had to fight in case of war. All these castles made it very difficult to conquer anything.

    As a native Flemish speaker with a good grasp of English, I've been learning Russian for almost 2 years now (independently, not via school), and I can confirm it's difficult. While it would help my case if I studied more every day, it's still very noticeable that it's a lot harder as a language. I tipped my toe into Spanish just to get a little break from Russian, and if you presented me with any Spanish text, I'd be able to reasonably fluidly read what it says, and actually understand parts of it. But for Russian, if you present me a paragraph or page in that Cyrillic alphabet, I already get that "nope" reaction. To be fair, many words in Russian are the same or similar...I think the verbs and their conjugations are the hardest.

The daughter spoke Russian in the beginning, but due to the war has switched to Ukrainian. Unfortunately, being such a difficult language, I can't just switch. I want to finish Russian before later learning Ukrainian (I have a bunch of languages I want to learn).
      In hindsight, I probably should've gone with Ukrainian, but the situation at the time caused me to go for the bigger language, and I think it's better to finish what I started. At least it allows me to read Russian propaganda BS and gives me a basis for other slavic languages.

      It mostly depends on if you're just trying to learn how to speak a language or if you're trying to learn both how to speak and how to write it. And those maps usually shows how hard it is to learn the latter. That's why all the maps with the Cyrillic alphabet are automatically category 4. Now I know French pronunciation of certain words can be hard but you essentially just write it the same way as you write English. As long as you've figured out how to speak French you should essentially already also know how to write it if you're English. The Germans way of writing words and sentences is just kind of unique.

    7:06 about that. The most crowded area in Europe is the middle to south of the German Staate Nordrhein-Westfalen. It has the most big cities on a small area combining places like Cologne (1.1 Million), Essen (600K), Düsseldorf (620K), Dortmund (550K), Gelsenkirchen (260K) and many other larger cities. The area is known as "Rhein-Ruhr" since it combindes the Rheinland and the Ruhrgebiet (named after the 2 biggest rivers in this region, the Rhein and the Ruhr) and yeah, now you know

    I'd be curious to see the language difficulty chart for slavic-language speakers(iirc, we start to learn english and german around 4th or 5th grade in elementary schools). The lvl4 is probably mostly due to the spelling works in them(which english speakers constantly try to spell how it's in theirs rather than as is written). There was an old sentiment shared between 2 diplomats(supposedly between british and serbian) somewhere before ww1, where former says something like "you guys are lucky, your children can learn most of your language in just 9 days, while ours don't know the half of it even after 9 years".

      @@aboi6638 the thing is that in the Japanese case, it's harder than other languages because it uses kanjis and you have to learn 2000 kanjis to write and read it perfectly, besides, the grammar has the difficulty of the reverse reading, comparing it with the English of course, adding the difference within articles in the Japanese ( が、を、に、は、の ETC).
      If the rules of the grammar have more complex laws, it would be more difficult to learn.
      In the Italian there are a minimum of different rules between this language and the English, like the conjugation of the verbs (present in the Spanish too) the difference between some articles comparing within the English (of the = Della, on = su, at of (sometimes)= a, the= il, la, gli, le (depends of the gender of the word)) and so, I think the Italian is easier to learn compared with the Japanese or the Russian.

I don't know if these numbers are including all of these "modern" castles.

Proximity may matter, but only because there is, of course, a higher probability of conquest with a neighboring country, which in turn can shape the local language dramatically (Spain doesn’t speak Gaelic, but a Latin language… And modern English is half old English, half old French). Is there any English speaking guy on earth not knowing of year 1066 ? So it seems.

At least it doesn't correspond to my German idea of a castle. The inspiration may have been the Roman watchtowers, which were unable to establish themselves in Germania. The Germanic tribes, who were hostile to one another, used large ramparts that later became castles. A fortified house is therefore not perceived as a castle in Germany because it has nothing to do with a rampart. In France they are counted.
