Today’s map shows how to wish a Happy New Year in various European languages.

The colouring shows etymological relations among the translations of the word “year” and does not always correspond to language families. For example, even though Polish and Russian are both Slavic languages, they are coloured differently because the corresponding translations of the word “year” are not based on the same root.
