      Population maps are always highly political and this one is no exception. You can see how the „Polish corridor“ has a clear Polish majority, just like the region around Vilnius. You can also see some splotches of Polish population in the Ruhr area ([Ruhrpolen ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhrpolen)as well as in Eastern France.

      Also interesting: Croat, Serb and Bosnian, as well as Macedonian and Bulgarian, are all shown separately, whereas the Italian dialects are just one big block called ‚Italian‘. The German dialects are hinted at with dotted borders but not shown with colours.

      A very Polish map. All similar Slavs subgroups are divided except for the Lechitic ones.

      Yet Romance are grouped in merely seven languages/ethnicities. All the minorities of Italy and France are missing.

      Also interesting to see Walloons being the same colour as the rest of the French dialects. German maps usually give them a separate treatment for some reason

      Id be surprised if Welsh and Gaelic was that well spoken in Wales/Scotland that far into 1920s, I think Welsh is better spoken today than then.

      Also Calais as Dutch/Flemish speaking? I thought that was French speaking a good few hundred years earlier?

      Happy to be corrected!

      Holy hell this hurts the eyes. Whoever was in charge of France, Italy and Germany needs to be sued from beyond the grave.
