As far as I know there are only 24 official languages in the EU... |

"European languages", not official languages of the EU. |

Seeing languages such as Norwegian with an EU flag looks weird. :D |

It says 'official' in the title. If it were every (the word 'every' is also in the title) European language then there are many more than 36. |

I think the Estonian one ("Osta euroopat") is wrong and translates to "Buy parts of Europe". I'm not fluent (just Finnish) so I don't know what the actual correct translation would be, though looking into it I believe it might have to be three words rather than two. "Osta Euroopast" might be close but would AFAIK translate to "Buy from Europe" rather than "Buy European". |

Why is the EU flag behind every phrase? |

Well one of these is Armenian. Armenia is neither in the EU nor in Europe except for the broadest possible, and I would say very dubious, definition of Europe. I feel like including Georgia but especially Armenia is hard to argue except from a cultural perspective where these nations are Christian and therefore sort of belong more in the European christian sphere rather than the west Asian Islamic sphere. |

Every official European language. Not every official language of the EU. Georgian, among others, meets the criteria of the former, but not of the latter |

My country has four official languages not represented there. Georgia and Armenia are in Asia not in Europe. All of these have an EU flag as background. I think op is very confused with all these concepts and thus they've made a very confusing 'meme'. |

It translates to "Buy Europe". You are correct with "Osta Euroopast" but I think "Osta Euroopalist" or "Osta Euroopalikku" might also work. |

Fair enough. Although Russia is not a member anymore. |

Interesting how many of them start with a , which I'm assuming is a stop, maybe velar? Like, velar stop + mid/low back vowel. I don't do much etymology or cross-language linguistics, but I'm guessing those are . . . probably Slavic, but I see Dutch there too and maybe Spanish. The ones starting with vowels (aside from French) are I guess from Nordic countries? I think I was expecting (to identify) more romance languages. Neat! |
