Language Groups

Here I have re-organized the 'parsley' names in their original list in language groups instead. I have concentrated mostly on the languages spoken in countries shown in my map.

Names derived from Petroselinum are in bold.
Names derived from Maydanos are in italics.
Names followed by an asterisk (*) indicate information, given to me by native speakers, which wasn't in a dictionary.
Any names followed by a question mark (?) need re-checking. Please contact me if you can help clarifying them. Ditto if you find any mistakes.
