Belgium is coloured completely wrong in this map, parts of Flanders are grey when they should be coloured green, and parts of Wallonia are coloured green even though they are French-speaking areas. It's a North-South devide, not a East-West one. Furthermore the German speaking area of Belgium could be added.--Lamadude 16:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this map not have South Tyrol in Green? It has an over 90% German-speaking majority! Ameise -- chat 20:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't this map on commons?

I dunno, but in response to Antman: Alto-Adige is not 90% German speaking. In fact it's around 60% nowadays IIRC. The Ladins form a sizeable minority in the eastern valleys (and infact also live in the alpine valleys of Veneto but are not protected there) and the capital Bolzano now has a 78% Italian majority thanks to immigration from other parts of Italy, mainly the Mizzugiurnu. So only the very top of Sud Tirol should actually be coloured. Though there are worse errors in Switzerland where none of Grischun or Vallais are coloured, the eastern two thirds of Vallais are German speaking (though the French are the majority in the canton overall so that error is understandable) and the central areas of Grischun are German speaking, the Rumantsch only occupy the western and eastern parts with Italians in a few southern valleys.

Why is all of Germany colored as "High German"? Tomertalk 01:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finland is incorrectly colored. See Swedish-speaking Finns. --Vuo (talk) 14:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
