The Germanic one looks like Freedom. Is it?
What language family is Pokój? I thought Polish was a Slavic language, but they don't say Mir.
Béke is Uralic? But also Turks use it?
Where is Taika from?
I NEED MORE INFO!!!!!!
Pokój is also Slavic. In Russian related word means something closer to "calmness" and sometimes has overlapping meaning with English "peace". Like "peace" in "peace and quite" for example will be translated with "pokoj", while "mir" in the sense of "peace" means only the opposite of "war".
I assume colors show the original meaning of the word, not the language family.
