        Old World likely referring to Europe. Except they had to include Middle East and South Asia, because it’s the same language tree.

        Notably there’s no Georgian, because it’s also it’s own language tree but is not in Europe. But the Caucasus is part of the old world. And Georgia is a candidate country for the EU.

        You know what, it doesn’t make sense either way.

          “Old world” because this is from a post-apocalyptic webcomic. It’s taking place somewhere in Scandinavia.
