      I tried mapping how many native speakers each Central Powers country lost after their respective peace treaty.

      For Germany the two data points are:

      Native German speakers in the German Empire pre WW1, and native German speakers in the Weimar Republic after WW1

      For Austria:

      Native German speakers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire pre WW1, and native German speakers in the First Austrian Republic after WW1

      For Hungary:

      Native Hungarian speakers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire pre WW1, and native Hungarian speakers in the Kingdom of Hungary after WW1

      For Bulgaria:

      Native Bulgarian speakers in Bulgaria pre WW1, and native Bulgarian speakers in Bulgaria after WW1

      For Turkey:

      Native Turkish speakers in the Ottoman Empire pre WW1, and native Turkish speakers in Turkey after WW1

      Sources are from the contemporary surveys and censuses

      The number for Hungary was definitely not 28%. Even if you believe the highly inflated numbers from the forced magyarisation period you still don’t get more than 15%.

      Either I didn’t understand the map, or it’s complete nonsense. Almost all of those Turkey lost in the war were Turks. And it had lost approximately 15 percent of its population.

      I don’t think you need to put the percentages both inside the countries and next to the names with the arrows. Just pick one.

      The Turkish borders are incorrect. Italian and French colonies are not shown on this map.

      Wow I didn’t know there were so many native German speakers in the Austrian Empire after WW1, I guess most of those native speakers must have been from the Sudetenland, an area where Germans had settled and lived for centuries. Even then it’s still surprising that Austria proper only accounted for 50% of all native speakers
