I see that Kosovo is not on the map. Can someone add it? Filper01 (Chat, My contribs) 18:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose not enough countries have recognized kosovo's independence. I am pretty sure the UN has not recognized it.98.196.78.26 (talk) 03:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The map only displays the majority Slavic-speaking countries and it does not has the former republics of the USSR, home to large Russian and/or Ukrainian minorities as a result of Soviet-endorsed settlement programs in the 20th century. Slavic ethnic groups have historically lived in eastern Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Greece and northeast Italy, or the descendants may been de-Slavicized. You have ethnological research on whether or not Slavic tribes migrated farther north or west in coastal Scandinavia, France and Iberia before the Roman expansion of the 100s BC. The map has not included the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania; or the Baltic languages of Latvian and Lithuanian is sometimes included (or distantly related) in the Slavic language family. + 71.102.2.206 (talk) 02:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the usual solution is to display Kosovo in slightly different colouring or what have you. The area though is not Slavic speaking for the most part given that the lion's share speak Albanian. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, AKA TheArchaeologist Say Herro 07:22, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
