LIST OF PARSLEY NAMES IN VARIOUS LANGUAGES & DIALECTS

I have collected these 'parsley' names from dictionaries and also directly from native and non native-speakers.
Names derived from Petroselinum are in bold.
Names derived from Maydanos are in italics.
Names followed by an asterisk (*) indicate information, given to me by native speakers, which isn't in a dictionary.
Any names followed by a question mark (?) need re-checking. Please contact me if you can help clarifying them. Ditto if you find any mistakes.
