Notes: Sidewalks have become ubiquitous relatively recently, so some languages show a lot of variation. 1. German is particularly notorious in this respect, with a half dozen terms in general use; I've limited myself to the usual word in Baden (a French borrowing, unsurprisingly) and what I take to be the most common Schriftdeutsch expression. 3. Banqueta is specifically Mexican; andén is common in Central America whereas elsewhere this tends to mean "(train) platform". 5. Banquette survives in this meaning only in Louisiana. 7. From cos "leg" and the usual word for "footpath" as well.
