How to create your own map:

Rules:

This is a community for etymological maps. Your post should either link to one or discuss some aspect of them.

Posts that simply link to maps have to have a descriptive title. For example, your post title should contain the word whose roots you are showing, the resolution, and whether it is original content. Tag original content with [OC], and attribute other redditors' creations with [by <user>] if you are reposting their work and link to their thread in the comments, if possible.
Please don't repost the same content more often than every 6 months.
Be professional. If you think a redditor-made map is of low quality, write a comment detailing how it could be done better, and don't just downvote.
Please host your images on imgur.com or minus.com, unless you are linking to the original source.
