Wait, hold on, a fairly accurate map instead of just countries?
Who’s the linguistics nerd that wanted to make a point about peace and empathy and the absolutely tragic loss of human life, but couldn’t resisit also making a little bit of a point about language diversity? Whoever you are, I see you.
It’s a lot better than most such maps, but still, there’s way too many languages missing in my opinion :)
I take little bit of issue having south part of Finland having swedish there.
Edit: ok, the projection is bit funky here, that is not southern Finland (Uusimaa), but south west Finland (Varsinais-Suomi) which is conquered by Swedish Finns
I did say “a little bit of a point”.
That’s the problem with giving it a fair shake, I suppose. You end up with nitpicking the remainder instead. It’s a natural impulse.
As opposed to? I mean, yeah, a lot of the places marked here are bilingual and share a language with the surrounding environment, but it’s not like Spanish, Romanian or English aren’t captured here.
Well showing area that has only minority of some speakers as the colour of that language is quite misleading. Should be shaded or something
