Corsica[edit]

Whatever they speak on this island, it is certainly not Italian. Tomeasy_{T C} 14:00, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They speak French and also Corsican. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsican_language Leena. 30 nov 2011

Agreed! Califate123! (talk) 14:17, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Corsican is definitely not Italian, and it is a minority language since the most widely spoken one out there is French. The map is thus to be considered, at least at present, *not* reliable since it pretends to include all the European languages, including those currently endangered, while removing the majority of them!--Dk1919 (talk) 18:08, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scale[edit]

Next time someone revises this, may as well remove “scale 1:6,000,000,” which has no meaning in a digital map that appears on displays having various resolutions and resized to various pixel dimensions. —Michael Z. 2011-12-08 17:33 z

Finland[edit]

The Swedish-speaking area in southern Finland is missing.

Also there is missing significant Finnish speaking areas in Sweden and other neighbouring countries: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Finnish_language_map,_detailed_areas.png Official Swedish-speaking areas in Finland are here (a bit more precise than the map above): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Svenskfinland_municipalities_2008.png Further on, Sami speaking areas in Finland are mostly mixture of Sami and Finnish. Sami is considered as official language in these areas along Finnish, Swedish or Norwegian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Corrected_sami_map_4.PNG (area is considerably larger than this European map do have) --87.100.211.177 (talk) 09:48, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bulgaria and Romania (and probably others)[edit]

The Turkish-speaking areas in Bulgaria and the Hungarian-speaking areas in Romania (and some other areas, I guess) shouldn't be in solid colors, but interlaced with the colors of Bulgarian and Romanian respectively. The map can be pretty misleading like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.70.30.216 (talk) 23:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Occitan not included, other observations[edit]

Corsican is not included here, and the extent of several minority languages is reduced (Welsh, Basque, Scottish Gaelic, Irish,...). Maybe all the extent of minority languages should be striped, but their extent should also be wider to be true to reality (sure to varying degrees according to the sociolinguistic situation, difficult to draw all of them anyway). Occitan (Provençal, Gascon, etc.) is not there either. Iñaki LL (talk) 22:50, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Luxembourgish[edit]

is clearly a German dialect (or Germannic language if you insist). It should have a red or brown tone.

Belarusian[edit]

In Eastern Poland there is a significant Belarusian speaking minority (almost 50 thousand people according to censuses') which is not shown on the map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.66.111.140 (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sardinia[edit]

I'd like to point out that Sardinian is missing.--Dk1919 (talk) 18:11, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Southtyrol[edit]

In Southtyrol Ladin is missing. Also here is Southbavarian spoken (its called Southtyrolean here) not German!

If People read German, they assume we speak the same Lanugage as the Deutschlandpeople, which is not true. 320luca (talk) 19:22, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
