Pratchett, Terry; Bradshaw, Georgina (9 October 2014). Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook (Discworld): Terry Pratchett. National Geographic Books. ISBN 9780857522436. So I decided to rectify that by providing for the first time a very high resolution png map over 17,000 pixels square at 600 dpi. This image (the image viewable in this post) is just a resized version so I could show what the map looks like, but it's resized down to ~7,500 pixels square and is a jpg. The second image shows a comparison between the resized version in the upper right, and the full version, of the center of the map. Lastly, the third image is a scan of the key that came with the map that explains the 29 numbered places on the map.

Latatian is also sometimes used by wizards when casting spells. It is also used by wizards and (a satire of the real world) doctors and lawyers to prevent laymen from knowing what they're saying, as in Albert's response to mysterious writing, "Sodomy non sapiens" ("I'm buggered if I know"), Rincewind's Stercus stercus stercus Moriturus Sum ("Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, I'm going to die") and the Morporkian legal principle "Acquiris Quodcumque Rapis" ("You Get What You Grab"). The citizens of the city are strangely proud of this fact, even going so far as to say that "it is easier to suffocate than drown in the Ankh." They also claim it to be the purest water on the Disc, as "Anything that's passed through so many kidneys has to be very pure indeed." (A reference to the saying that London tap-water is allegedly filtered by seven sets of kidneys). Owing to the build-up of centuries, the bed of the river is higher than some parts of the city. When winter snows swell the flow, the low-rent areas of Morpork flood. In spring some parts of the river catch fire, others sprout small trees and also the spray of the Ankh turns into a shade of green. Wading birds are apparently uncommon, as their legs would be eaten away by the pollution. Such fish as are known to exist are described as looking like vacuum cleaners, and explode when brought to clean water. There are a lot of microorganisms living in the river, which Mustrum Ridcully believed was proof that the water was safe to drink - as anything capable of supporting that much life had to be healthy.
