While originally “c” only had a “hard” sound, vulgar Latin softened it before “e”, “i” and “y”. This convention carried over to many languages.

That’s not entirely true. C does occur in Native Dutch words (e.g: Citaat which means Quote in English) and it is also used outside of the digraph Ch too. The country, Netherlands should be orange. And even Swedish language uses C outside of the Ch digraph, same thing with German. Even German uses C other than in the digraph Ch (think Cabrio) and it does occur in Native German words. And the French languages uses C other than in the digraph Ch so the whole country should be dark orange. And don’t forget the Cyrillic alphabets like Russian where C is pronounced Suh. That color should be red. And in the Irish language, C isn’t pronounced k or s. It’s pronounced as [k] or [c] so it should be light green. Even Latin uses C for the /k/ sound only. A lot of this is wrong.

Swedish should dark orange.

German should be light orange

Dutch (Netherlands) should be dark orange

Russian should be red where C only makes the Suh sound

Ireland should be light green cause C either makes /k/ or /c/ sound

The rest is ok
