Revision as of 08:56, 12 October 2008
Nova Scotia/Cape Breton
both these areas should be Germanic(English) instead of Romance(French). Parts of New Brunswick (approx 39%) is French speaking but the rest is English. Monre (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Newfoundland as well is Germanic. 24.89.245.158 (talk) 17:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Missing languages
This map does not show Ngäbere in southern Panama nor Wayuu on the Guajira Peninsula of Colombia and Venezuela. Both are indigenous languages of the Americas. This map also does not show magenta color for Romance languages in New Caledonia.
Pama-Nyungan
I'm absolutely positive that NT is not majority Pama-Nyungan speaking. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 08:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello all, currently I'm out of the net, without a working comp in my posession. I'm not intending to do any corrections in the image for a long time. Maybe someone else is willing to check it thoroughly. Dreg743 currently on 88.195.46.112 (talk) 07:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Celtic languages
The Celtic languages constitute a branch of the Indo-European language family, and they are not language isolates. Ireland is mostly English-speaking (i.e. West Germanic) at present, but, in any case, Ireland and the Scottish Highlands should not be colored grey, since that is the color that the legend says is used for "isolates." Ebizur (talk) 16:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
surely both Scotland and Ireland should be all or in the great majority 'Germanic Green' if we're depicting current first languages? This needs to be corrected though. Should someone assert a colour for the Celtic family? 86.128.34.95 (talk) 14:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Norwegian
Swedish on this map seems to be Norwegian, the two are in fact different languages, albeit similar, but not the same! Juckum (talk) 13:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Caucasian languages
The Caucasian languages are not Indo-Euroepean but form a distinct language family. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.112.137.176 (talk) 16:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Certain Problems
Here, very small languages are shown, but languages like Malayalam, Tulu, Kotagu (Coorg), etc are not shown. This gives a wrong Representation. Also, some idioms like Urdu are shown as languages, though this is a matter of dispute. The colours of North Indian and Chinese languages also seem to mix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.252.231.118 (talk) 09:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Colour scheme
Maybe a colour scheme in which closer groups were closer coloured would be better. e.g. all the IE families could be various shades of red.
