Very interesting use of colours. In cartography I've learned that using red is a bit dangerous if you are not communicating something dangerous / scary because our brains automatically interpret it as such (in many cultures, but not all I think. Some cultures don't associate red as "bad") .
At least a few SE Asian countries view red positively. It comes up every now and again with European football clubs where the blue (or whatever) teamβs rival wears red and ownership of the blue team will add red to the kit in a silly attempt to appeal to Asian fans. It just pisses off the local fans who have grown up hating red.
I don't follow football so this is really interesting, thanks for the trivia!
Hoa does someone speek forest or moorland?
Forest is obviously Entish, but I'm not sure about Moorland.
DE Wikipedia says Masurian was a polish dialect, so you might think this was a way of disguising a polish minority as something else, but the Masurians opted German after WWI. The language was forbidden by the nazis (leopards...) and later died out as the people dispersed after WWII or were polonised.
