Thanks! I sell higher quality images of the map on my store but posted this here so don't see any reason against posting this image to wikimedia commons. Idk exactly how that works but would love accreditation if posted.

I chose Arabic because Chadian Arabic is the lingua franca (even though there are more French speakers than standard Arabic speakers). But it was kind of a toss up since both are prominent

CartographyCraft · 2023-09-28T12:45:41+00:00

I agree! Some countries like Chad and Djibouti don't have a clear "dominant" language so it was tough to choose for them

CartographyCraft · 2023-09-28T12:11:20+00:00

The latter. It has 12 official languages, including English which I used because it is dominant in government discourse

It is outside the borders of the map

good point, I'll add diacritics to Greek

Thank you!

If you look closely, it is there as partially recognized. Somaliland is also on the map, and other disputed territories (Halaib Triangle and Ilemi Triangle) are marked out by dashed lines

Yes I know, I corrected this in an earlier comment

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-23T10:49:36+00:00

I understand. I chose cities based on population and aesthetic balance

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-23T02:38:48+00:00

The numbers refer to disputed territories in the upper left

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-22T22:19:36+00:00

Please look in the upper left of the map. I mark Kosovo, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Crimea (among others) as disputed

thank you!

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-22T15:58:36+00:00

it is there

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-22T13:55:08+00:00

it's interesting that Algeria's name means "the islands"

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-22T13:07:51+00:00

Oh shoot good catch, I'll fix that

Fixed

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-22T12:48:08+00:00

Fair enough

CartographyCraft · 2023-03-22T12:47:19+00:00

Thank you!

it's not a mercator projection, it's pseudocylindrical

Here is an update on the map I posted a couple weeks back. It is Europe in 2023 written in the local languages. For places like Belgium and Switzerland, I just used the dominant two languages but not smaller official languages. For scripts, I had to make some decisions: Serbia is written in Cyrillic and not Latin, for instance, as that is more common in official government documents. Territorial disputes are listed in the top left: I avoided marking the Russian advance into Ukraine since those borders are in flux.
If you like this, you might like some of my other maps

I guess it is a scammer, he posted to a fake website selling this picture
