Firstly, Norweigian should be red just like Swedish and Danish. Irish should be yellow since it’s the official language of Ireland so part of Ireland should be yellow. By the way, I wouldn’t agree that Basque pronounciation is regular since it has variations and severa; dialects among many consonants like J or H.

In reply to Chaplin. Edit: I think the reason Ireland was red is probably because Ireland speaks English mostly. Irish is yellow however

Telugu’s orthography is very easy to learn and logical to master. It’s abugida script and positioning of consonants and vowel combinations make it much easier that even the other south Indian scripts. Tamil is the hardest among the Dravidian literary languages as some consonants like tha and dha share the same consonant sound. With Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam there is absolutely no ambiguity in pronunciation.

Some Latin letters were used somewhat arbitrarily. For Irish Gaelic, some letters have no resemblance to the original Latin.

Christian missionaries amd scholars got better at applying the Latin script to translate the Bible.
That is why African and Pacific languages are easier than Germanic.
