Full description

This plot shows the 'immediate' loanwords in English per source language. The data comes from the World Loanword Database.

I love languages and my aim from creating charts is to make something that I'd hang in my living room and this chart is an attempt to do that in plotnine. That's also why this chart would look even better if printed on a large poster/paper.
I'd have loved to color the words and their source differently but as far I know this feature isn't supported by default (like ggplot2 but I can find workaround in ggplot2 with packages like geom_text)
