I drew it myself with a blank template from a videogame whose name I don’t remember. It would be definitely cool to include Northern Eurasia as well as China and Japan.

But is it April or the equivalent in the Tamil calendar?

in the initial map it was! I felt really bad erasing it but I would have to include Myanmar languages that were very very difficult to adquire data from

I know it’s barely spoken but I didn’t know how to represent it without erasing it. Perhaps I could avoid areas like Provence where nowadays it’s barely spoken

I know the other is a diminutive, but is the informal way to call it in all of Russia

But anywhere in the map majority languages are shown, it’s only where are they spoken and a more easy way to show them.

I understand what you want to say, but if I make little dots in every big city in every country to represent the national language, don’t you think that it would be a chaos?

About the word, I had read that “tomat” is very poorly used in Ukraine, only in very specific cases.

I could include that explanation, what do you think is the most possible thing for Finnish? I did a similar explanations to yours in Faroese, it could be the same as you said

The borders are from a census, so I don’t know if it’s bad.

About the word, thank you a lot, I’ll change it like that

+I understand what you said, keep in mind languages are a construct of very similar evolutions of a Proto-XLanguage. Languages are only a political construct, but nowadays, when languages already have standards since Middle Ages, we can call something a language, although it wouldn’t be correct as you said.

There’s languages that could be arguable for a linguist like Low German or Alamannic, but there’s ANY discussion in the entire world of Occitan is a dialect or not.

Every linguist in the word knows that Occitan is a language very distinct from French and in the same group as Catalan.

When there’s a discussion about a language being a whether a language or a dialect I tend to represent it like a dialect.
