In the Scottish Highlands, road signs are often found with the Scottish Gaelic given (in green) as well as the English (in fl).

 Old Forest Road   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Where the Road crossed the Great River, there was originally a stone bridge, but the later years of the Third Age the bridge had been lost and the river was crossed by the Old Ford.
The Road then ran directly east from one side of the forest to the other, covering more than two hundred miles beneath the canopy of trees before it emerged by the banks of the River Running.
It's particularly notable that the old bridge over the Anduin at the Road's western end lay almost exactly halfway between the ancient Dwarvish meeting-place at Gundabad to the north, and Durin's mansions of Khazad-dûm to the south.

 Aromanian Vlachs: The Vanishing Tribes
Not that this should be understood as a necessary proof of the Vlachs' pro-Ottoman stance, but rather as their reluctance of being incorporated in a  mono-lingual, monolithic Kingdom of the Hellenes  whose aim, at that time, was still to endlessly expand its boundaries according to the  precepts of  the "Megali Idea".
It often contained (as in the case of the newly created Kingdom of the Hellenes) too high a dose of re-invention: a farcical claim of racial superiority with the occasional cruel twist and the afferent emptily pompous rhetoric [15].
This last encouraging signs have yet to get the blessing of the legislators who are not in a hurry to debate such taboo issues as language of the minorities.
