Since it takes "their language" so literally as to have English majority nations with a different word listed, I wonder how many other countries on this don't actually use their version of thursday.

Political maps are a terrible tool for visualizing cultural / linguistic practices (and on this one, colonization didn't make it even worse). Just gotta roll with it and enjoy the weird assumptions :)

I am enjoying weird assumptions already, though? I added onto that sentiment. Are you confused about something?
