Great map but I don't trust the source since it cannot even be bothered to correctly mention that some languages several names for pieces. I am Slovenian and have never heard anyone refer to the bishop piece as lovec (hunter). It was always tekač or laufar (runner).

Laufar sounds like a loan word from German Läufer

Because it is.

We have hundreds if not thousands of deformed and abused 'loanwords' from german in the northern part of the country.
