I am sure than every Classicist will agree with me that your via Appia answer is slightly frustrating. Of course it is basically correct, since all highways have two ends, but in the Roman society, inter-city roads were seen as starting in Rome and going FROM there, not towards it. For any Roman, the automatic answer to this question would be Brundisium (Brindisi).

Flemish is not officialy considered a language, but a dialect derived from dutch. It does not have official language status (though there are differences, they are hardly bigger than the difference between uk and us english).

I actually think the Spanish language is properly called "castellano." The two are interchangeable at this point in history, but that is because the Castillian (i.e., castellano) language won out over other languages in Spanish, and therefore became "Spanish" after the fact. That might not be exactly the progression of events, but that's what I was told when I lived in Spain.

Indeed. I dont think he ever used a paintbrush (there could be an odd one out ofcourse, i havent checked every single piece, but all the work i know of him). Pencils, ink and lithographs yes.

As a printmaker myself (and a painter), I am going to pile on the stickler express on this one, too, especially since I almost didn’t get this question right (I was busy asking myself, “Wait, what? When did some painter go and get themselves famous by knocking off M.C. Escher?”). Escher did not famously paint anything, especially not his endless staircases & other impossible constructions – those are all prints (which are made with printmaking inks, not paint). I think he might have used paint to hand-color a few of his tessellation prints, but even still, I wouldn’t really count that as “painting”. A better wording might be “Who famously created images of endless staircases etc. etc.?”
