5:57 The difference is how you cook rice and wheat. Wheat grains are powdered and formed into a dough to make roti or chappati (both are the same thing) its like a wheat tortilla and we mostly make curries with fish and meat so rotis can not be eaten well with these curries but rice is mixed with these curries and eaten. Also there is a costal thing states in the east coast mostly eats fish as it is readily available and most river deltas are on the eastern side. States of Gujrat and Maharashtra are primarily vegetarians so its the culture of those two regions that affects this phantom border.

True, but I think in regards to the Americas, the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayas had the largest populations during pre columbian times, so even though their populations were ravaged by the plagues, they still had a relatively large population when things settled down and thus didn’t get out populated by colonists. The Inca empire had about 12 million people based on the last Quipucamayoc. 45 years after Spanish conquest that population fell down to 1.1 million natives in Viceroyalty of Peru. In 1600 Spain only had 8 million people, there was no way for Spain to outbreed the Incas and mesoamericans. Between 1492-1832, a total of 1.86 million Spaniards settled the new world.

[@TheSpecialJ11]

Another factor for the wheat vs rice map is dairy consumption. Northwestern India was not only settled by more lactose tolerant people (easier to be vegetarian with milk and cheese and yogurt) but wheat is a better fodder crop for dairy cattle than rice. Porridge made of wheat berries cooked in milk isn't the most nutritious food in the world, but it can absolutely cheaply sustain you cheaply far better than competing vegetarian combinations. Vegetarians in rice areas have to rely on fermented legumes to get near the same quality of nutrition.

[@julianbrabsche728]

One explaination why some places have a lot of european ancestory and others not so much in Latin America comes down to how Spanish colonisation worked they didn`t just kill or exepell them (A lot still died to diasieses or trying to fight of the Spanish) all or put them in small reservoirs. They usally did not destroy the existing system they just placed themselves on top and modified it somewhat to suit their needs by adding slaves and stuff. But in some regions like Argentina that just didn`t work because there were no developed civilsations there so they just send some settlers there after some time. And Brazil, well the were colonized by the Portugese who couldn`t really reley on already devoloped civilsations so they had to rely on mainly European settlers.

[@Galletas-my3sv]

Nope, there were already slaves, literally Spain prohibited indigenous slavery in 1512, burgh laws, before annexing Mesoamerica or the Andes. And Spain did mobilize the population, like the Tepanecs, Spanish allies, many were relocated because some lived in swamps. Which the Spanish did not consider healthy. Or the population of Hispaniola to Santo Domingo. And Spain did not modify almost anything because they could not. Not because they wanted to preserve the system. And during the viceroyalty it is estimated that only 40,000 Spaniards arrived, Spain never sought mass immigration to America. Spanish only

Polish letters doesnt change the sound when used in different ways, "ó" will be always "u" no matter in what word you are gonna use it, its not English where same letter for example "Y" sound different depending from the word like "study" "yellow" "why". So in Polish (and i believe its pretty common not only in slavic languages but in Spanish aswell) Letters sounds the same: "Duży" "Szyba" "Fryzjer" "Rytm", You can say "SHIBA" for example which sounds similar to "szyba", but you need to cut that in half, so in the end you should say "Shi-ba" and the middle sounds you would make will be "y".

[@cyan_oxy6734]

Most languages are like that. English and french are the weird ones with spelling.

[@arthurgabriel2625]

As someone who's studying polish, polish is not exactly cut and dry as you're implying. For example: państwo is pronounced as państfo because of final devoicing that most slavic languages have. Bear in mind this is not an exhaustive list and there are many more examples in polish where the pronunciation doesn't match the written form.

[@MrOoYT]

With the Danelaw vs rhotic accent map, both of those borders are similar for a reason. There is an ancient road in England called Watling Street that runs from Kent to Cheshire. It has been used by pretty much every civilisation that has lived in England. It was a very important border for the Danelaw, and since people rarely moved too far out of their local area then, the accents and dialects in the Danelaw and out of it evolved differently.

Rice is grown in North too but not as much. It,s just a coicidence that south is having more non vegetarians as there were just so many fishes there in south, that the hindus there accepted that fish can be eaten but not other meats.

[@Supremedalex]

I think for North vs South Vietnam the GDP divide probably existed before the war and is probably a reason why the north and south were divided, due to their very different economies. Same can be said for the Union vs Confederacy. The Union was industrially focused and the Confederacy was agriculturally focused and this diverse difference in economies breed the conflict and created the cultural divide.

Southern Vietnamese are a lot more open to foreign cultures and the people are more entrepreneurial. Geographically, it isn't as hilly and mountainous as well so it has more favourable conditions for economic growth.

It's not topography. The Spanish Empire relied on already build cities and social structures, so in regions with high density population, there was just no need to replace the population with colonists. They adapted what was there to their empire. Peru and Mexico were the regions of the strongest native empires. They also happen to be where the mountains are. This might just be since attacking the mountains is so difficult. Similar to the iranian invincible mountain peoples.

being from Eastern India, meat consumption is mostly due to the people, I'm a native and so rice is something that came from the eastern regions, closer to SE Asia and China

A guess for the Peru one. The Spanish took over the Inca empire (which had a lot of population) and replaced the upper classes. Although many died from disease, there were still many natives. In Argentina, there wasn't this huge empire to take over so more Spanish settlers had to come. (pure speculation, tho)
