The spread of the words for “orange.” I did not realize there were so many different ways of saying it!

I’d like to point out that the Scots Gaelic word for orange is orains (it sounds like orange). Also, Dutch, why you gotta be like that?

30, She/her. Used to be DreamingPagan a long time back. Multi-fandom, mostly Black Sails these days but with a lot of Tolkien and funny things interspersed. Complete language and history nerd - be warned. I write fic and occasionally I talk about ships.
