File talk:World regional languages map.png

The map has some inaccuracies. German is spoken in Austria too. Also Persian is more widespread in Tajikistan than Russian.


 * Indeed. Persian is probably more travel useful in Tajikistan, although I"m not positive about that. But still and all... --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:07, 17 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Thanks for the correction! Some further suggestions: Arab might be useful on the Horn of Africa, especially in Somalia and Djibouti, where it is one of the official languages. Hindi is also spoken in Nepal as a second language by many. Malay/Indonesian could be added as a regional language too, as it is spoken in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Timor-Leste and the southern part of Thailand. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 95.91.6.76 (talk • contribs)


 * Agreed on Malay/Indonesian (and I would call it just that to avoid petty political points).--(WT-en) Burmesedays 09:17, 24 July 2011 (EDT)


 * All good suggestions, and the map has been changed. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:11, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

German is not spoken in modern day Czech Republic but by a very very small minority. Should be removed. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 68.248.233.215 (talk • contribs)


 * I also think French should be added as lingua franca for Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria and Mauritania. Maybe those countries could be double-shaded with Arabic? --(WT-en) Globe-trotter 14:39, 4 February 2012 (EST)


 * That would be nice to do with Russian/Persian in Tajikistan too. But I'm having Inkscape woes in trying to implement that change. I tried making an alternating diagonal stripe pattern, but my Inkscape just seems to be having none of it. Care to give it a go? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:42, 8 February 2012 (EST)


 * I have taken care of the French-Arabic shading, and applied the same for Russian-Persian in Tajikistan. --Peter Talk 20:24, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

French is a regional language, much more than Spanish, surely. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:31, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
