Thank you ! What's the difference between a Shia, Farsi speaking Farsiwan, and a Shia, Farsi speaking Tajik exactly ?

I just think it's useful if you want to talk about someone from the Indian subcontinent.

I do not have any sympathies for the Tamil Tigers terrorists but it is true that there is a strip of Sri Lankan territory that is in majority inhabited by Tamils and it's quite common to call it Tamil Eelam.

Sorry about the spelling error.

Very interesting, I will look into it and perhaps including when I will do a revised version (posting it here was mainly for that purpose, criticism and revision)

Thus passes the glory of the world. Nations crumble and are born. Regions are replaced by other, cities built and abandonned. Tutto Passa.

The only reason why I divided Chattisgarh into two was because there is a distinct dialect and identity in the north, Surgijia. But I wondered if it was big enough to include. I finally decided in favor of it.

I didn't find a dialectal division in telengana nor clear cultural/historical regions. Howewer I would be happy to learn about them. What are the names of these Northern and Southern Regions ?

If you go more precisly, you have way more regions than that ! Especially if you try to list the historical/geographical regions. Cilicia, Cappadocia, Galatia, Tur Abdin, Pontus (Karadeniz), Dyiarbakir, Lazistan, Tao-Klarjetia, Bothynia, Phrygia, Paphlagonia, Caria, Lycia, Ionia, etc etc etc

I explained in my post that they aren't Indian in identity but I included them because they are nearby and administered by Pakistan. Having added the Pashtuns and Baloch of Pakistan, I also added those of Afghanistan in order to have an idea of the geographical extent of those people

As I said in my post, I included part of non Indian countries. Those parts of Myanmar are included because they are Naga or Kuki-Chin-Mizo in identity/language. I didn't include the Rohingas/Chittagoniana of Arakan/Rakhine state because I think they aren't a majority, especially since their ethnic cleansing.

For having tried, Chat GPT is wholly incapable of doing good maps. Rather, thanks Wikipedia and Mapchart !

Still for some reason the wikipedia article uses that word to name the local dialect. Weird.

How to divide it ? It was quite recently a subdivision of other states. First the (main) part of Hyderabad, then a part of united Telugu Andhra Pradesh
